If you’ve been itching for a moment to get your hands on similarly elevated coastal styles, then your days of waiting are over. Recently, the renowned designer collaborated with Anthropologie on a one-of-a-kind collection of living room, bedroom, and bathroom furnishings. Let’s just say that items are everything we could have hoped for — and more.
Katie describes the collection as “natural and classic, with a playful edge.” True to her dimensional creative ethos, Katie sought to “blend contemporary design sensibilities with the enduring charm of vintage.” Striking this delicate balance allows Katie's designs to maintain a fresh feel without being explicitly trendy, ringing true to the collection’s “Scandi-meets-Cali mood.” Each piece is this Anthropologie editor’s choice selection is beautifully undone, delightfully carefree, but undeniably sophisticated.
And if you think that Scandi-Cali design is code for monochrome and monotonous, think again. According to Katie, this collaboration feels like an exploration of sorts, offering “something vibrant and unique that sets itself apart from the commonplace, repetitive offerings.” Intrigued? So are we. Continue along for everything we have our eye on in this cozy chic collection.
