Handmade surface pattern designs and illustrations for house and home
At Essex Hill Designs, inspiration begins with experience and observations: the details of a historic building, the rhythm of a garden path, the colors of a distant landscape, or the beauty of objects shaped by time.
These influences are transformed into hand-drawn and hand-painted motifs that are made into patterns and illustrations designed for fabric, wallpaper, and home goods.
Rooted in tradition but created for today, each collection blends warmth, comfort, and a feeling of being home.
