Funny, I’ve been lusting over some fabric I saw on pillows at Weego Home some time ago (bottom photo, yellow/white print), and while out surfing the web, I came across Australian textiles and wallpaper designer Florence Broadhurst and bingo! textile designer found (Weego doesn’t mention the designer on their site).
I love her sophisticated prints with a dash of wild and funky mixed in, and her stunning wallpaper collection along with her textile collection (it’s how she got her start, as a wallpaper studio, back in the 1950s) really rocks. From peacocks to filigree (love), to psychedelic swirls, blooms, fans, clouds, and Aztec symbols, she gives interior spaces punch and excitement, and the best part, you can control the dose. Add one pillow or several. Paper an entire room, one single wall, or frame your favorite sheet for a little over the sofa drama.

At last year’s Sundance Film Festival, we saw a movie from Australia that’s all about Broadhurt’s life — it’s called “Unfolding Florence.” I wasn’t crazy about the re-enactment style of the film, but overall, it was pretty good and certainly her design was incredible.
