We’re a design company dedicated to real homes, real customers, and real style.

For 25 years we’ve put our talent where our motto is, designing fabrics and wall coverings that are chic and sensible. Now we’ve broadened our reach, adding furniture, lighting, and mirrors to our stable of design collections.

Our aesthetic is fresh and sophisticated. It’s also pragmatic. Motif co-founder Lyn Peterson —a.k.a “the real life decorator”—insists each piece be great looking and also enduring. The sofas and tables are superbly crafted, the fabrics and wallpaper designed to hold up, not to mention hold their own. Even the smaller details—lamps, sconces, and mirrors—are high-caliber and bright with panache.

At Motif you could say we see ourselves in the reflection of a life well-lived. And of course well-designed.

Brought to you in living color, Paloma Picasso launches her latest collection Nature's Loom, including grasscloth wallpapers in jutes, paperweaves, sisals and even corks.

Ms. Picasso could never be accused of being bland boring beige. Who remembers her iconic ads for her lipstick "Mon Rouge"? Paloma likes red so much that she considers it a "neutral". So it should come as no surprise that her new collection goes far beyond the typical offering. Greens, blues and naturally, reds, come in multiples. The range of colorations takes grasscloths into new realms.
