Welcome to the home of Maison Venu, conceived by Olivia Bienvenu Massie. We believe that textiles have the power to transcend memory. Maison Venu weaves together heritage craft, family roots, and modern design. Loosely translated from French – “maison” meaning house and “venu” from the weclome greeting bienvenue and our founder’s middle name – our name represents the stories our patterns bring to life. We create pieces that start conversations, infuse personality, and offer sanctuary in the home.
what’s new at Maison Venu
Color is on my mind right now. I am always surprised by the way a design is transofrmed through a color palette. It is my favorite part of the design process. Botanical inspiration is noticeable throughout each design in our collections. I am constantly drawing and manipulating their shapes and looking for little moments that could create an interesting composition for a colorful, inspired design.
Leaning into the use of ancient textile techniques and pairing them with original motifs and designs is a practice I will continue to turn to with each new collection. Our new Celeste design has the sweetest touch of contrasting embroidery that elevates the design. We are beginning to offer our most loved Tuileries design in embroidered pillows, and are continuing to marry print and embroidery to add a special touch to more familiar shapes (check out Lorient!).
My passion to pay homage to timeless textiles of ages past through traditional handcraft will continue to lead my design inspiration, but making these our own is the process that feeds my creativity. I can’t wait to hear what resonates with you!
trade program details
Launching a Fabric By The Yard component of Maison Venu was part of the plan from the beginning. Olivia spent the 7 years before launching Maison Venu as a mill designer, designing upholstery and decorative woven fabrics for decorative brands like Schumacher and Kravet lines, manufacturers such as Lee Industries and Highland House, and retailers such as Serena & Lily and Restoration Hardware.
Olivia’s emphasis as a textile designer has revolved around designing original wovens, prints, and embroideries. With this experience, the collection is thoughtfully designed for the design trade’s use, keeping repeat, scale, and color at top of mind.

gustavia
Inspired by the silhouette of a coral reef, Gustavia is a playful stripe that grounds a room while being an easy compliment to other designs. A three color blockprint, this design is bold and rich in color. Each colorway transports this design, making it easy for a coastal living space or home in the moutains.
Celeste is a special kind of blockprint. Medium in scale, each row of florals in the repeat change color, creating an ombre effect. The option of adding a touch of embroidery in each bud’s center add’s dimension that draws you in! Celeste compliments many designs in our collection while introducing a new scale to our design offerrings.

tuileries
A sophisticated large-scale botanical stripe, Tuileries is reminiscent of lush European gardens in springtime. A beloved pattern of the brand since inception — first launching in January 2023 in the form of finished pillows and napkins — Tuileries has transcended the Maison Venu brand across tabletop and decorative product offerings. Available in 7 colorways with the option of adding embroidery, Tuileries is a hand screen-printed design.
Repeat: 27in (h) x 15.75’’ (v). This design is printed on our upholstery quality linen cotton blend fabric.
Bahti is a large-scale floral pattern inspired by Olivia’s love of historic Batik motifs. Batik is both a term used to describe a type of fabric and a historical manufacturing technique culturally oriented to Indonesia, the Middle East, and India. Defining characteristics of Batik fabrics are pale patterns featuring tropical flora and fauna on a colorfully dyed substrate. Maison Venu’s Bahti is an eye-catching large-scale floral pattern that features a sweeping all-over design of leaves and flowers articulated through artful lines and bold color combinations.
