HABITA Wallpaper & Fabric

Habita is a wallpaper studio created by Emily Wong, a textile and graphic designer based in Austin. Combining texture and light from her gouache paintings with a graphic sensibility, she creates patterns that bring warmth and artistry to modern homes. When she is not working, Emily enjoys spending time and traveling with her husband and two girls, as well as cooking, running, reading, and tending to her many plants.

Each pattern begins with sketches and drawings, taking our inspiration and interpreting it into geometric forms. The designs are then painted using gouache, an opaque water-based paint used in traditional textile designs, or printed with a linocut block. In order to preserve the brush strokes and details in the patterns, our designs are digitally printed.
