While interior trends may spark on catwalks and in design capitals worldwide, it's in Arthouse's bustling design studio where they truly come to life. Here, a talented in-house team transforms contemporary influences into home décor that resonate with real homes, blending creativity with craftsmanship at every step.
"We always start by taking stock of what’s happening in the wider world of homeware," explains Carly Laking, design manager. "But it's not about following trends blindly – it’s about understanding how they can translate into people's homes."
This thoughtful approach to trend interpretation has become something of a signature for Arthouse, setting it apart in an industry where innovation and accessibility don't always go hand in hand.
The studio’s process begins with carefully curated mood boards that capture not just patterns and palettes, but the essence of contemporary living. These visual stories become the foundation for each collection, steering the design journey while leaving room for creative exploration. It's a delicate balance of inspiration and interpretation, one that the in-house design team navigates with remarkable skill.
This philosophy comes to life in the collections. Take an interior trend like botanicals – Arthouse’s interpretation might range from bold, oversized tropical prints to subtle, textured designs that merely hint at natural forms. It’s this breadth of vision that ensures their wallpapers can transform anything from a period property to a contemporary apartment with equal success.
Perhaps most noteworthy is Arthouse's commitment to in-house design. In an era where outsourcing has become commonplace, their dedicated design team creates every pattern from scratch, bringing fresh perspectives to traditional craftsmanship. This hands-on approach allows for a level of creative control and quality that's evident in the final product.
The design process itself is thoroughly collaborative, with regular studio sessions where ideas are shared, refined, and sometimes completely reimagined. From initial sketch to final pattern, each design evolves through multiple iterations, with careful consideration given to both aesthetic impact and practical application.
It's this blend of creative vision and practical know-how that has helped establish Arthouse as a notable presence in contemporary interior design. Their ability to transform emerging trends into accessible, beautiful wallpapers while maintaining their design integrity is impressive. In their hands, wallpaper becomes more than just wall covering – it's an essential element in the story of modern home design.
What emerges is a picture of a design studio that understands its role in shaping contemporary interiors, while never losing sight of the practical needs of real homes. In doing so, they're not just creating wallpaper – they're helping to define how we live with pattern and colour in our everyday spaces.
