The designer

Rooms that feel gathered, not decorated.

Ariel Roberts founded Roberts Studio Design in Phoenix in 2020. Five people. She spent years in a historic Phoenix home, and she brings that with her — into old houses and new builds both.

She works in layers: the architecture, the light, the furniture, the details, and last, the plants. Wallpaper goes in early. She wants the wall to have a point of view before the furniture arrives.

The community install came with the collaboration, but she didn't choose the space. She asked her clients where it should go. They answered.

The collection

Balance, just off center.

Calla lilies, scabiosas, pears, tomatoes — winding through on branching stems. Next to them, quieter man-made shapes: oval chains, round vases, a cinderblock.

The palette runs cobalt and butter yellow through leaf green, soft pink, and deep eggplant. Black, white, and gray hold it together. Some of the patterns grow; others sit still, and the collection lives a little off kilter between them, on purpose.

The patterns are in final development. Each will come printed on our paste-the-wall non-woven, and peel & stick.

The community install

Hope Women’s Center, Phoenix

When this partnership came together, we didn’t choose the community space, we asked you, our clients. We polled the RSD community, and the vote came back Hope Women’s Center. With the word of our clients standing behind it, we knew everything we needed.

"Hope’s mission is to engage, encourage, and equip women and teen girls facing any difficult life situation. Hope’s caring approach is relational and holistic, supporting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of every woman. Our classes and support groups help women grow and make positive changes. Our one-on-one mentoring, counseling and advocacy programs help women heal and move forward in their lives."

We’ll be installing a wall from this collection in their space, with our own hands and a few of yours. Photos, the full story, and the community of it all, coming here after install day.

About the partnership

One of five, this year.

Every year, William Morris Wallpaper invites five independent designers to develop original wallpaper lines under their own names. Every partnership includes an install in a community space the designer chooses. We donate the wallpaper. The designer funds the install. The patterns live alongside our catalogue. The work lives wherever the designer wants it to.
