ON THINKING BIGGER A Note From Rebecca
The idea of living in your favorite place—capturing the elements that make you feel alive and happy there—inspires so much of my art. That’s why I look to nature for my designs and color palettes. I want each pattern to be a tool you can use to channel the mood of a landscape that inspires or delights or calms you, because that’s how you create a harmonious home.
When something in nature resonates with us, it reflects something inside of us. That place inside, where we feel that recognition, is a living landscape. When the things that surround you, inside and out, are in sync—when your environment reflects your living landscape—you’re at your best. Like art and poetry, interior design has the power to do that for us.
But design isn’t easy, as you all know well. It takes a special expertise and careful consideration to assemble a room that sings. Lately, I’ve been interested in devising ways to make doing that easier and more intuitive. I’ve been exploring the impact larger scale designs can have on spaces and how it feels to think and live in them. That’s how I started working on murals. I love murals, whether they depict a naturalistic landscape or an abstract one.
The other reason I’ve been thinking bigger is I have the room to now. It’s a luxury, at work and at home. My studio here in Charleston is the size of our entire New York office. I’m
lucky to have wide, tall walls to pin things up to work on. It’s easy for me to unfurl a giant roll of paper on the floor or step out to the park with a 40-inch sketchpad to paint here. At home, I’m still in the process of getting settled, and although I’m in no hurry to finish (nor do I think there’s any such thing as “finished”), I’m realizing firsthand what it takes to decorate a full-size house. In Brooklyn, our apartment had two rooms; I had one little, blank expanse to wallpaper between the bathroom and the kitchen. Now I have entire rooms to think about. I can scale up the motifs, play with panels, … that’s something I’ve never done before.
The two murals we’re debuting this season include an outdoor scene I painted in my beloved Hampton Park here in Charleston and an imagined landscape of delicate bubbles. I painted them by hand, experimenting, as they are my first murals. I worked full scale and also on smaller pieces of paper that I taped together. Figuring out the size of the panels and the repeats required trying things out and thinking in new ways. I even covered my dining room in my favorite one to get the full effect. It’s totally immersive and alive, exactly the way I wanted. I can’t wait to hear what you think of our murals and see how you use them in your projects. As always, if you have any questions about scale or samples, please reach out to us.
Thank you,

OUR NEWEST COLLECTIONS
From enveloping wallpapers to textiles ideal for layering, our collection is filled with colors and patterns that foster peace, harmony, and reflection. Our motifs both express those sentiments and inspire us to cultivate them within ourselves. When we fill our living spaces with meaningful design, they invite us into states of calm, warmth, buoyancy, comfort, and creativity. These ways of being then radiate outward— like ripples in water—to our families, our communities, and our visions for the world.

Introducing
MURALS
This fall we introduced something new: a duo of murals, our first-ever panel products. Like all of Rebecca’s designs, they range from naturalistic depictions of real-life places to abstract landscapes from her imagination. Hampton Park is a romantic translation of one of her favorite places in Charleston, capturing the sunlit canopy of tree branches in a washed monochromatic color palette. Bubbles is an abstract dot motif with an ombré effect, akin to that of a shoreline; it’s paired with a coordinate print to be used on the ceiling (or on its own). Enveloping, immersive, and imaginative, they’re designed to make it easier to bring the mood of your favorite places indoors. View more information and panel maps at www.rebeccaatwood.com.

Creating Color Pallettes
SOUTHERN LIVING IDEA HOUSE
We were incredibly fortunate to collaborate with designer Allison Elebash on this year's Southern Living Idea House, right here in Charleston, SC. Check out an excerpt from Rebecca's color and pattern process below.
I’m thrilled to be a part of the Southern Living Idea House. When Allison Elebash asked me to contribute, I felt so honored. I love her work and think she truly epitomizes lowcountry living—a newer concept for me, having lived in the Northeast for most of my life. Allison is not only a talented designer but a friend.
To choose designs for the house, we began by looking at the paint palette Allison had picked out. This is a project that moved quickly, but she intuitively pulled colors from Sherwin-Williams that brought warmth to a new build.
The earthy, comforting palette— composed of Sherwin-Williams Mushroom, Breakwater, Soft Sage, Bateau Brown, and Carnelian—balances darker hues with lighter, airier ones. The combination feels in line with the landscape. The Kiawah River, with its old oak trees, marshland, ferns, and swaying grasses, provides such a beautiful setting.
After we reviewed the colors, we began pulling wallpapers and fabrics that fit with them, her design concepts, and the overall mood she wanted for the home. While some colors sat perfectly with the palette, we also decided to translate some of my designs into custom colors tying back to the Sherwin-Williams colors.
