Carnation & Quill is a boutique illustration studio specializing in hand-drawn toile wallpaper inspired by meaningful places and lasting memories.

Each piece begins as a sketch, drawn slowly and deliberately. Architectural landmarks, family homes, university buildings, and familiar details are illustrated by hand, then composed into timeless patterns designed to live beautifully on the walls they adorn.

The name Carnation & Quill reflects the heart of the work itself: the carnation, a symbol of tradition and remembrance, and the quill, a mark of craftsmanship and storytelling. Together, they represent an approach rooted in care, patience, and enduring design.

Carnation & Quill works with homeowners, designers, and institutions seeking artwork that feels personal, considered, and quietly elegant.

In addition to custom wallpaper, select Carnation & Quill designs are occasionally produced as limited stationery and gift wrap. These pieces are created in small runs and offered as a thoughtful way to extend the artwork beyond the wall.
