BRINGING YOU INTERESTING NEWS FROM OUR STUDIO AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY “An uplifting colour palette symbolising happiness, hope and a new beginning.” BRAND SPOTLIGHT
UK based designer and founder of Olenka Design, Olga Shevchenko celebrates her diversity and cultural heritage through the designs of her wallpapers and fabrics. After being in the UK for 13 years, Olga realises the importance of printing her fabrics here, where the products guarantee the best quality and contribute to the local economy. When designing her wallpaper and fabric collections, Olga takes inspiration from traditional Folk Art and painting style Khokhloma from the 17th century. The traditional craft started as a way to decorate everyday wooden objects and was inspired by nature featuring flowers, leaves, berries, old fairytales and mystical birds. Whilst these inspirations traditionally have distinct colours, such as red, black and gold, Olga uses an uplifting colour palette symbolising happiness, hope and a new beginning. For example, The Alice Meadow design was influenced by a particular colour palette Olga found in nature which, with the help of the shimmering, luxurious Mica paper in the champagne tone, brings out the vibrant colours of the florals beautifully. As Olga says, “My mission is to inspire you and encourage creativity in your renovation project, helping you achieve your decorating goals and create a beautiful home that reflects your personality.” E
