Hi, I’m Lahni. I’m a textile, wallpaper and pattern artist creating original fabric designs, wallpaper patterns, and licensed artwork for everyday products.
My designs are used by sewists, quilters, and Etsy makers, mums sewing for their families and small businesses, and are also licensed by gorbal brands for products like bed linen, planners, phone cases, fabric collections, and home décor.
Every pattern is thoughtfully designed with scale, repeat, and colour in mind, so it works beautifully whether it’s sewn, styled, wallpapered, or produced at scale.
If you love print and pattern on everyday items, handmade pieces, or beautifully designed products, welcome, you’re in the right place.

If you see a design you love but it’s not quite right for your project, I'd love to help.
I offer custom colour and scale adjustments so you can make a pattern work perfectly for your space or project. Whether that means matching the colors to your existing paint tones, or making the design bigger or smaller or something else, send me a message, I'd love to help make your project perfect.
If something in my @Spoonflower store catches your eye, just send me a message and we can tailor it to suit you.

I really love kids bedroom wallpaper that doesn’t feel babyish, so it can work from the toddler years right through to boyhood.
This soft blue stripe has that classic, timeless feel that I always love. You can style it in a sweet soft way, or colorful and playful for a little one’s room, but it's timeless enough to endure for years to come and grow with them.
My wallpaper designs are available on @HappyWall and @Spoonflower

I’m a little torn . . . while I'm loving the cosy Fall feelings here in Australia, but also already dreaming of spring and all the flowers I want to plant in the garden. So for now, here’s a cute little illustrated watering can.
Shop now on @spoonflower ! These fabrics are part of my grandmillennial cottage collection, designed to mix effortlessly with their coordinating wallpapers so you can get that whole room pattern story just right. Soft florals, classic stripes, and plenty of matching colourways make it easy to layer prints without it feeling busy.
If you love thoughtful pattern mixing and timeless cottage interiors, you’ll find lots more coordinating options via the Spoonflower link in my bio.

This is a little reminder to start where you are, with what you have. You probably won’t ever feel fully ready, and that’s okay, none of us really know what we're doing! But the best stuff always happens after you begin.
Every mistake, every false start, every not quite right attempt is still moving you forward. It’s not failure, it’s learning. It’s practice. It’s proof that you’re trying, and that matters more than getting everything perfect the first time. Done is always better than perfect.
You're more capable, more prepared, and more ready than you think. So go on, just start, you've got this.
Save this post for the days you need a little nudge, or send it to someone who could use a confidence boost right now.

Designers, have you seen that my mockup shop is now open?
This cottage entryway has to be one of my current favourites.
Good news too, the launch sale has been extended for one more week, so if you’ve been meaning to have a look, now’s the perfect time to grab them at 50% off!!! Head to the link in my bio to take a look.
One of my favourite features is that you can not only add your own wallpaper or fabric designs, but also easily change the colours of room elements to suit your artwork and make the whole scene feel more cohesive and styled.
Such a handy way to present your designs beautifully and professionally.

Hey there friends, I’m Lahni, the designer behind Softly Studio. I’m not always great at writing these kinds of intros, but I’m so glad you’re here!

I know there are quite a few new faces here, so I’d love to get to know you too. Feel free to say hi in the comments, and ask me anything, about my designs, my process, or what you’d love to see more of here.
