Have you shopped Anthropologie’s new arrivals for home lately? During the design process, we were having a bit of an ocean-inspired nautical moment and I couldn’t help myself while designing this Love Knots wallpaper. I was totally inspired by some of my favorite knots used when climbing, but also one very sweetly tied bow! I illustrated each knot and loop by hand, then layered in watercolor washes to make it super painterly. Then I added a touch of silver metallic to define the rope because you always need a little shine!

WOW. So beautiful. I could see this in my house in a heart beat. I also love hearing about your process.
Adorable work! Great to hear about your process they really feel hand drawn, love the movement going on!
It’s wonderful! The looseness of it makes me feel physically relaxed and the watercolor washes are perfect. I really appreciate design like this that simply nods toward a theme, proof that you don’t have to stick and gold anchor and a sailor hat on something to make it nautical, no need to go overboard ;)
exactly, joani! love your insights :)
LOVE!
Beautiful! I can imagine this in a salon, floor to ceiling in a rich lady’s walk in closet, or very chic little girl’s room. What’s up with the antrho site, the whole thing seems to be down?
thanks so much, sarah! i’m not sure what’s up with the site, it seems to be working on my end.
So cool, love it!
thanks cori!
