One Print, Many Ways: How to Style a Print in Your Home

The idea behind my studio is simple: one print, many ways. A single painting can become wallpaper, a cushion, a canvas, a rug. The trick is knowing how to use it in a room without the room feeling busy. Here is how I think about it.

Pick one print, then repeat it on purpose

Choose one print for the room and let it appear two or three times — never everywhere. A Green Goddess wallpaper on one wall, a Green Goddess cushion on the sofa, and a canvas of the same print across the room. Repetition makes it feel intentional. Randomness makes it feel cluttered.

Let the print be the boldest thing in the room

If the wallpaper is bold, keep the rest calm: plain bedding, a solid sofa, simple curtains. The print does the talking. If the print is soft — a watercolour, a pale coastal tone — you can let the furniture and the textures carry more of the room.

Start small if you are unsure

You do not have to wallpaper a whole room to live with a print. Start with a cushion or two, or a framed fine art print. Live with it for a few weeks. If you love seeing it every day, that is your sign to go bigger — a rug, a chair, a feature wall.

Mix the print with what you already have

A print does not need a new room. It needs a place. A Coconut cushion on a neutral sofa. A Coastal Muse print above a bed you already love. A wallpapered nook in a hallway. The print should meet your home where it is, not ask you to start over.
