Welcome to Lilyanne Design
Inspired by the Past, Designed for Today
I’m Anne Thumann — artist, researcher, storyteller, and founder of Lilyanne Design.
This isn’t just a brand. It’s the result of years of thoughtful creation rooted in history and shaped by a modern eye. I don’t create to follow trends — I create to connect: past to present, handmade to digital, beauty to meaning.
Lilyanne Design began with a love of pattern-making and a fascination with the quiet power of everyday objects. Over time, that love has evolved into a curated home decor brand — one that honors craftsmanship, sustainability, and artistic intention.
What I Believe
At my core, I believe in making things that last — patterns that whisper stories, goods that feel like heirlooms, and collections that reflect deep intention. I’m committed to slow, sustainable design. I research, sketch, digitize, and refine — every step matters. I'm not here to do things halfway.
Each piece is more than just beautiful — it's grounded in purpose. Not just to be seen, but to be felt.
My Process
Each collection begins with deep research—often pouring over antique reference books, vintage wallpaper fragments, and textile archives. From there, I sketch motifs by hand using pen and ink or watercolor before digitizing and refining them into seamless repeat patterns.
These designs are then brought to life through wallpaper, fabric, and artisan decor—using ethically sourced materials and quality craftsmanship. It's a blend of old-world inspiration and modern technique that allows me to create work with heart and heritage.
Why I’m Shifting Toward Curated Decor
Rather than offer everything to everyone, I’m embracing a slower, more intentional path: a focused range of products that reflect the full vision of my work. These include wallpapers, fabric, decorative papers, art prints, and hand-punched wool rugs—pieces that feel soulful, cohesive, and enduring.
This transition lets me design from a place of depth rather than trend-chasing. It allows Lilyanne Design to serve not just as a studio, but as a living archive of art, story, and home.
Our Core Values
1. Artistic Integrity
Every design starts by hand and is inspired by the decorative traditions of the past—from 18th-century textiles to folk-art storybooks.
2. Purposeful Beauty
Decor should feel enduring, soulful, and personal—not just stylish, but significant.
3. Slow Creation, Thoughtful Living
We value heirloom-quality craftsmanship and the quiet joy of surrounding yourself with meaningful pieces.
Whether you're transforming a space or simply adding a meaningful detail to your home, I invite you to explore my collections and find the pieces that speak to your story.
Warmly,
Anne Thumann
