Interior designer and product designer Brett Beldock is not your average decorator. The former fashion designer now uses her multifaceted talents for combining color, pattern, and personality in the interiors world. In her design work, Beldock helps her clients push limits, expanding on their visions for their homes and adding bits of her signature style to her firm’s projects. She combines elegance with eclecticness in her projects, a difficult line for many to straddle; but for Beldock, adding marijuana leaves to upscale wallpaper comes with ease. Her wildly popular wallcovering line, Brett Design Wallpaper, is sold to design lovers from coast to coast, perfect for those seeking something a bit different from the norm while staying sophisticated. Her wonderfully offbeat collection of furniture and decor for CB2 flies off the sleeves and onto the pages of some of the most respected design publications. A favorite of consumers and critics, Beldock is the definition of someone born for the job. Meet Brett and take a look at some of her stunning wallpapers below.

BRETT DESIGN encourages people to go a few steps further toward creating environments that they love, unique interiors in which they feel at home and spaces that reflect who they are. The BRETT DESIGN Furniture Collection bridges the modern to the traditional with a refined, clean aesthetic that invites people to make the pieces their own with custom colors, finishes and metals. The BRETT DESIGN Wallpaper Collections are trendsetting examples of celebrations in pattern, color and texture. With hand-collaged, photographed, and hand-painted patterns, the collections range from bold florals to sublime ombrés to fresh takes on reptilian skins to full wall murals and beyond. In addition to her celebrated Brett Design Furniture and Wallcovering lines, Brett has designed luxurious and inspired rug collections for legendary carpet purveyor Doris Leslie Blau and the National retailer – CB2.
