Meet Larissa, founder of Milola Design
The Origins
Why Milola started
I believe that everything in a home should have a story to tell and bring people genuine joy. With my designs, I hope to help you add to those layers. I am deeply passionate about art and design from the past, and about the extraordinary things that happen when cultures, places and eras meet and blend.
By threading these themes into my fabrics and wallpapers, I want to inspire you to create a home that is interesting, beautiful and incredibly inviting. To me, that is the ultimate luxury in interior decorating: a space that feels like it belongs entirely, and only, to you.
Larissa Miloradovich aka MiloLa 💜
A British Studio at Heart
Milola Design is proudly British. Although my own roots stretch across many countries and cultures, it is England that has shaped me most, and nowhere more so than the Yorkshire Dales, where we spent many years in a farmhouse surrounded by moorland, dry-stone walls and the kind of quiet, enduring beauty that finds its way into everything you create. My husband is from Northumberland, and Britain is woven into the fabric of our life. It is on those long moorland walks with our red Labrador that the spirit of Milola Design quietly took root.
Our fabrics and wallpapers are printed in the United Kingdom, working with trusted British craftspeople who share my commitment to quality and longevity. For me, being a British brand is not just a label. It is a reflection of the craftsmanship, heritage and attention to detail that runs through everything we make.
A History Written Across Borders
I was born in Paris, but England claimed me early having lived there most of my life. Over the years I have also studied and worked in Germany, Russia and Belgium and so even though I have experienced a "pot pourri" of cultures, languages and references... it is England, in the end, where all those influences found their shape.
My Inspiration
Growing up across countries and cultures means my inspiration draws from a mix of identities, spanning both geography and time. I am constantly drawn to antique and overlooked artwork: pieces discovered in French brocantes, English country markets, or tucked carefully away in an attic, preserved by generations before us.
It is the English appreciation for heritage, pattern and the beauty of the domestic interior that moves me most deeply. Taking those historical fragments, a detail from a faded textile, a motif from a forgotten print, and weaving them into something new, joyful and alive: that is what this studio exists to do.
