The Californian Collection – Heritage Wallpapers and Fabrics from the West

~ The Californian Collection ~

Welcome to New California Design.
It’s about heritage. It’s about time.

The Californian Collection is a series of original and unique wallpapers and fabrics, inspired by multi-generational California living, and designed for those who enjoy beautiful design infused with earthiness and authenticity.

From the whispering palms of Santa Monica and the iconic sandbox of Palm Springs to the timeless architectural charm of Pasadena, Southern California is a dance of historical grandeur and avant-garde spirit. In this radiant landscape where adobe missions kiss sunlit skies and modernist visions rise, a design narrative is waiting to be told. It’s a visual story rooted in history, self determination and the landscape.  It is with profound joy and anticipation that I introduce Pearl & Maude’s latest collection of unique wallpaper and fabric designs: The Californian Collection.

This new collection of unique wallpapers and fabrics is our ode to the past and a bold stride into the future of what authentic California design can and should be. It’s an invitation to blend the sophistication and whimsy of California’s storied legacy into the very fabric of your home. To infuse interiors with thoughtful reflections, playful patterns, and rich colors that speak of journeys traversed and memories yet to be made.

~ Introducing a New Trellis Wallpaper and Fabric ~

I am excited to present to you our latest wallpaper and fabric colorway:

Arachne in Silver Blue.

Arachne showcases a captivating trellis wallpaper and fabric pattern in shades of silver blue and cream. This design is available in both wallpaper and linen fabric options. The intricate pattern evokes the charm of a classic garden room motif, adorned with spiderwebs that transition gracefully from gray to teal. With its blend of sophistication and tradition, “Arachne” offers a contemporary twist to timeless design. The trellis pattern exudes an air of elegance, reminiscent of leisurely strolls through lush gardens on sunny days. Embrace the subtly warm, dewy-blue hue harmonizing with the grace of cream-colored trellis. This pattern weaves narratives of nature’s artistry and beauty.

The Artistry, Customization, and Environmental Responsibility of Digitally Printed Wallpapers

The use of digitally printed wallpaper is becoming increasingly popular in the interior design industry. However, an established interior designer recently expressed her reluctance to embrace this modern technology, preferring traditional printing methods instead. As someone who values craftsmanship and traditional art forms, I understand her perspective. Nevertheless, this discussion prompted me to reflect on my own production process as a traditional craftsman and why I ultimately chose digital printing. My answer lies in three distinct characteristics of large-format digital printing: artistry, customization and a sense of environmental responsibility. These factors demonstrate why digitally printed wallpaper has become my preferred choice for producing Pearl & Maude wallpapers.
