Q
What was the inspiration behind the Mini Prints Collection, and how did the idea of an English garden come to life in these designs?
A
The collection was inspired by the charm of lush, colorful English gardens on a picture-perfect spring day; wildflowers in bloom, tiled and pebbled garden paths, and just that overall dreamy, romantic feel. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the UK, and there’s this subtle, relaxed elegance in the way things are there. That’s what I wanted to capture in both the design and the color palette of this collection.
Q
Why did you choose to focus on small-scale prints for this particular launch?
A
We’ve had so much demand for small-scale prints and it makes sense! They’re incredibly versatile, whether you’re layering them into a larger scheme or letting them stand on their own. As I developed the designs, they just naturally felt right at a smaller scale. It aligned beautifully with the inspiration and made the whole collection feel cohesive and intentional.
Q
Can you describe the five designs included in the collection and how they differ from one another?
A
Each design tells its own story, but some are connected through shared inspiration. For example, P6815 Evienne and P6816 Fearne are both inspired by wildflowers. Fearne is a more literal take, while Evienne has a softer, more abstract feel. Then you’ve got P6814 Gemma and P6817 Imogen, both of which draw from the look and texture of stones and tilework along a garden path, though again, one is more structured and the other more organic. P6813 Tilly is a sweet, timeless ticking stripe, inspired by a scrolling garden vine that is classic and incredibly usable.
Q
How did you decide on the seven versatile colorways, and what role did timeless neutrals and soft, usable hues play in the selection?
A
We’re offering all five designs in the same seven hues: Sage, Sky, Lake, Lavender, Blush, Parchment and Driftwood. These colors were chosen for their soft, calming presence and subtle approaches to color. There’s a real effortlessness to them, which matches the overall feel of the collection: soft, elegant and quietly sophisticated.
Q
These designs are described as “small in scale but big in character.” How do you envision designers layering them into interiors?
A
I envision many of these patterns being used together in the same space, layered both in design and color. Color combinations like Sage and Parchment or Sky and Lake work beautifully together. The versatility of the designs allows for a range of applications: a headboard upholstered in our ticking stripe P6813 Tilly would be fabulous, while a set of drapes in P6816 Fearne would also be stunning. These patterns are more than just supporting prints — they have the strength to be the “small but mighty” focal point in a room.
