Mia Reay

Behind the name

As is the case with many passion projects, Mia Reay's started during the most unexpected moments, when she was in her library in the English countryside choosing a new wallpaper.

"I couldn’t find anything perfect for that space, so I started painting designs myself," says the Finnish-born artist, who is married to the Fifteenth Lord Reay. She asked an old friend, decorative painter Graham Carr, to join in on this act of creation. From this initial collaboration, many designs were born, and Mia Reay Ltd was formed.

Beautiful and authentic hand painted panels — pieces of art in themselves — are at the heart of every one of Mia's wallpapers. Each design is full of eccentric British charm, complemented by Mia’s passion for nature and global art — whilst still preserving a unique touch of her Nordic roots.

Today, Mia Reay designs adorn the walls of prestigious homes around the world and can be seen in many magazines, such as House & Garden, The World of Interiors, Homes & Gardens, and Veranda. Her range allows timeless grandeur and spice to be woven into even the smallest of rooms, while many of the designs invite the end user to be creatively involved throughout the process.
