My Philosophy
I believe a home should feel like a reflection of the person living in it, layered with stories, curiosities, and things that hold the eye. When designing, I'm drawn to antique and "lost" artwork discovered in French brocantes, English country markets, or something that stops me in a faraway museum. With my fabrics and wallpapers, I hope to help you add layers of curiosity and awe of the world into the aesthetics of your home - resulting in a truly personal and beautiful space. By weaving Milola Designs into your interiors, my aim is for you to create a home which is incredibly joyful and inviting. To me, that is the ultimate luxury in interior decorating.

Cosmopolitan Aesthetic
It's a passionate appreciation of heritage and cosmopolitan pattern and craft that influences me most deeply. Weaving together elements of historical patterns that I find, giving them new life in a modern and joyful way, is what truly lights me up. This way of designing - absorbing pattern and craft from across time and geography and weaving it into something new, grows out of my own roots, which stretch across different countries and cultures. It's this cosmopolitan heritage that makes Milola a British brand at heart: I've lived in England for the greater part of my life, and it's here that my creative journey with Milola began. Our fabrics and wallpapers are printed in the United Kingdom, working with trusted craftspeople who share my commitment to quality and longevity, and it's this heritage of craftsmanship that runs through everything we make.
Pot Pourri
I was born in Paris and over the years I've studied and worked in Germany, Russia, and Belgium. I'm half Russian (my father's parents fled during the Russian Revolution in 1917) and half German-Czech. Having attended American and international schools growing up, I consider myself an absolute "pot pourri" of nationalities but I eventually settled in England, married an Englishman, and had my four children born and raised there. Today I find myself in Germany, one more thread in my own patchwork of places.
