Meet the artist

Hi, I’m Astrid — an Estonian-born surface pattern designer living in France. I find inspiration in nature and the small, everyday moments that bring us joy.

Every design begins with a pencil sketch on real paper, then comes to life either through traditional media like watercolor, gouache and/or ink, or through digital illustration.

I’m a self-taught artist who never stopped learning — always exploring and refining my skills through artist communities and inspiring mentors.

I draw inspiration from nature as well as from artistic movements I admire, such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Arts & Crafts style. I also enjoy the freedom of abstract art and modern design, which subtly influence my compositions.

Outside the studio, I’m a mother of two daughters and a lifelong maker (sewing, jewelry, porcelain painting). I also find balance through sports like tennis, Pilates, and yoga.

Creating patterns is my way of bringing beauty and warmth into the world — one joyful design at a time.

You love wallpaper with a story, not just a pretty print. But it’s hard to know if a pattern will actually work in your space, or what color to paint around it once it’s up. This little guide takes that guesswork away.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Seven of my favorite wallpaper patterns, shown up close and in real rooms
  • Paint pairings from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams for each one
