Our latest lookbook takes a look at interiors that have been filled with printed wallpaper to create playful, colourful spaces and bring a sense of joy to the rooms they re in.

Post House Inn brings grandmillenial-meets-modern charm to Mt. Pleasant, the quaint town located between Charleston and Sullivan’s Island. Originally built in 1896, the inn hearkens to pubs in the heart of English villages that lack lobbies, but have charming rooms above.

That’s how we do a lot of our projects,” says Kate. “You want something to feel like it’s been here for a long time, but don’t want it to give you a feeling of discomfort.”
