For more than a decade, I’ve been exploring how the aesthetics around us — color, shape, texture, and pattern — can lift our spirits. And I’ve often been asked: How can I bring these ideas into my home?

Today, I’m thrilled to share a new answer to that question: a wallpaper collection created in collaboration with Hygge & West, designed to turn the science of joy into something you can live with every day.

Each pattern in this collection is grounded in research on the visual elements that bring us joy, like vibrant color, symmetry, playful shapes, and natural motifs, and inspired by the season of simple pleasures: summer. Whether it’s the abundance of a sun-warmed garden, the pleasure of a beach day, or the charm of a backyard picnic, the designs aim to infuse everyday spaces with a sense of delight.

Meet the Patterns

Heirloom

Heirloom was inspired by my family’s favorite time of year: tomato season. The longest, hardest wait of every summer is for the tomatoes to ripen at our local farm. All July, we watch and wait. Then suddenly, abundance! We get lost in the vines, filling our baskets and pockets with sun-ripened fruits. The birds trill and my son sits down in a lush patch, popping cherry tomatoes directly into his mouth. Pure joy!

This pattern shines in kitchens, dining rooms, or anywhere you want to evoke warmth and abundance.
→ Available in Mist, White, Blush, and Ebony.

Picnic

Few words hold as much excitement for me as “picnic.” When else could a striped blanket tiled with Tupperware feel like a banquet? As a child, I often went along when my friend Deirdre’s family used to have picnics in a big open field by the Hudson River. Now, ours usually happen on the beach. A wavy-striped blanket is the timeless constant, a pattern that says “this is the place.”

Picnic feels at home in casual gathering spaces — breakfast nooks, sunrooms, or entryways that welcome you with a smile.
→ Available in Berry, Blue, Midnight, Blush, and Parchment.

Lanai

My husband’s family lives in Hawaii, and in Joyful I wrote about how my trips to these vibrant islands awakened me to how much I craved more sensory richness in my daily life. The Aloha shirt is a perfect example of this: its exuberant patterns stand in joyful contrast to the neutral wardrobes so common in big cities. I had the idea to create a pattern inspired by the rich tradition of Hawaiian shirts, incorporating flowers from my own garden — dahlias, cosmos, hydrangeas, and ferns — as a reminder that vitality is all around us.

Brings a sense of ease and quiet lushness—ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or places meant for rest and retreat. Would also make a dreamy home office!
→ Available in Parchment, Sun, Mint, and Ebony.

Parasol

I’ve always loved how a beach dotted with multicolored umbrellas transforms into a spontaneous pattern. The overlapping shapes come together to create a cheerful mosaic, a vibrant, harmonious whole. Inspired by this, we reimagined the scene as a bold, abstract pattern designed to capture the exuberance of summer by the sea.

A few joyful ideas: try it in a powder room for a bold surprise, use it to create a playful playroom, or in a hallway that could use a lift. And if you happen to have a pool house, this pattern is the perfect fit!
→ Available in Coral, Sea Glass, Cornflower, Sun, and Marine

Bringing Joy Home

We spend so much time in our homes, and how those spaces feel has a real impact on our energy, focus, and well-being. That’s why I created this collection: to help people design homes that don’t just look beautiful, but actually feel good to live in.

Bringing this collection to life has been its own source of joy — from the earliest mood boards and color palettes to refining the smallest details of scale and repeat. I’m so grateful to the team at Hygge & West for their thoughtful collaboration, and I can’t wait to see how these patterns come to life in your home.
