Founded in 2012 by Sian Elin Thomas, a well-established Surface Pattern Designer and Interior Stylist, our products reflect Sian’s fascination with the role of pattern and colour in an interior space. Sian advocates its positive impact on our lives, and our optimistic fabric, wallpaper, cushions, and lampshades reflect that.
For nearly a decade, Sian has built the brand through collaboration with labels such as BHS and Debenhams, and created products retailing through major stores such as Oliver Bonas, Fenwicks, and Heal’s. As Britain’s modern "print queen", Sian regularly features in the media for her designs and interior styling tips.
With enthusiasm for helping others stamp their personalities on their homes, Sian Elin also makes products that inspire creativity. Lampshade-making kits and a growing platform of how-to video content teach you the skills to unlock your creativity and help you find joy and well-being through creative self-expression.

Making Sian Elin Products
Sian hand-draws and paints her designs in her studio in South Wales, which eventually become coordinated interior products. Attention to detail is adhered to at every step of the print and production process. Sian utilises traditional pattern-making skills, taking inspiration from masters such as William Morris, Stig Lindberg, Joseph Frank, and the mathematical genius of Islamic pattern. Colour palettes are considered and carefully matched to create bright yet restful schemes. And our final products are quality-checked by our British manufactures.
Wallpaper is manufactured in the North of England using eco-friendly water-based inks. And fabrics are expertly digitally printed at an 80-year-old industry-leading factory in the North of England. These are then carefully transformed into hand-made lampshades and cushions in the South of England.
