Who are Oak & Orange?

Heather and Sarah are talented interior designers and builder's wives from Sydney. When I stumbled across their instagram in 2020, I was delighted! They were in the process of finalising their Dream Home 5 and I just loved their minimalist, elegant style.

I reached out to them to ask if they would be interested in collaborating on a bespoke wallpaper design by Tiny Giraffe. They were keen to work with me and we worked together closely to create the Eucalyptus wallpaper for Dream Home 6.

You can now enjoy this wallpaper in your own home!

Creating A Custom Designed Wallpaper for Interior Designers

I am OBSESSED with the Blue Mountains - the beauty in this region of New South Wales is just incredible. The smoky blue and green hues are a delight.

So when I discovered that Dream Home 6 was located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, I was excited - this would be the ultimate cosy country cottage!

When developing design concepts for Oak & Orange, I took design inspiration from the Eucalyptus trees from this region and transformed images of the leaves and gumnuts into my signature line art style. Once I had drawn all of the linework, I played with lineweights, colours and scale.

Working with interior designers is a delight for me. They are incredibly talented i curating spaces and selecting finishes, furniture and materials that elevate a space. It is these selections that guide me in creating my bespoke wallpaper designs. Heather gave me some beautiful paint colours to work with as inspiration, ultimately settling on Taubman's Smokey Slate.

Bespoke Wallpaper Design Featuring Australian Botanicals

'Eucalyptus' is my first repeating wallpaper design and is the signature design in my Australian Natives wallpaper range. To see it installed in the beautiful Oak and Orange Dream Home 6 was a very special moment. Heather and Sarah have styled this room to peaceful perfection - a neutral, calming colour palette.

I'm so proud of this repeat pattern artwork and how it looks in every home, no matter the room - peaceful, tranquil, elegant - just like the tree itself. The organic shapes and crisp line art catch the eye and complement other beautiful homewares in the space.

Interior Designer Feedback on My Bespoke Wallpaper Design

Upon sharing the final design online, I was overjoyed to see its positive response. Tahn Scoon of Tahn Interiors was one of the interior designers to respond, leaving this kind comment on my instagram post introducing the wallpaper design. I am thrilled to see it received so positively and am consistently sending out samples to both interior designers and home decorators.
