Interior Designer: Rebecca Hay Designs

As part of an on-going series on the journal I am profiling some of the interior designers whose work I admire, and who have used my products and patterns so beautifully. I find it so inspiring to see how these wonderfully talented designers use my wallpapers and fabrics in their own unique way and with such unexpected combinations. I am hoping that it will also inspire you and give you ideas of how you can incorporate pattern into your own home.

Rebecca developed an interest in interiors from a very young age. Moving house with her family 5 different times before she turned 12, she would reimagine her bedroom in each home and loved watching her mother decorate each new house, turning it into a family home. After her BA and a stint living in Spain. Rebecca returned to Canada to make her mark on the interiors world, working with some of the countries top designers before becoming a designer on HGTV’s ‘Income Property’ and ‘The Property Brothers,’ then founding Rebecca Hay Interiors in 2013.

 When choosing a pattern for a particular project, Rebecca says, “I consider how the pattern makes me feel. But, I also start with a colour way and then look for the scale that will work in the space."

For this elegant bathroom in a midtown family home Rebecca chose Seascape in Summer wallpaper “It is both whimsy and classic,” she says. “It is fun but not over the top and will stand the test of time. It's also the perfect wavy theme for a family bathroom. The blue is also the perfect shade and compliment to the custom-painted vanity.”
