Color-clad, Texas-based lifestyle brand Katie Kime doesn't really separate getting dressed from decorating. The same preppy Greco Garden prints show up on PJs and, just as easily, across a coffee table in a newly optimistic octave of toile. But today, the woman behind the eponymous brand is introducing a new category of wall art, translating her original paintings into a new medium.
This new wall decor collection, like the rest of Katie’s archive, is highly collectible, spanning unique prints alongside photography, graphic text pieces, and new compositions.
The Artist Series, for instance, features abstract cowboys as a nod to the brand’s Austin roots, while Graphic Expressions explores whimsical astral scenes for every zodiac sign, along with destinations you’ve been meaning to get to, like Florence.
And while the subject matter is as adventurous as ever, any art person will tell you the frame is part of the look. Here, the launch arrives with a fully built-out framing program, offering ten sizes and six finishes, from smaller 8” x 10” pieces to room-anchoring, entryway-worthy 40” x 60” formats.
Customization has always been central to the Katie Kime universe, but instead of emblazoning your monogram on an Oxford pocket, you can now bring that same eccentric spirit to your walls.
Ahead, six new ways to experience the Katie Kime world.
Katie's second favorite art is abroad. ‘But some cities have captivated me in ways others haven’t,' she says, 'stayed with me when I left, and have called to me ever since. This gallery print is an homage to one of those cities and the first of more to come,' she muses. ‘Happy travels.’
Brown and blue (or cocoa and cobalt, if we’re getting technical) is an unexpected color-blocked pairing we’ve seen on the runways (even more recently, on Catherine, Princess of Wales), and now, potentially, in your own living room. Timeless, but also very of the moment.
You can go frameless and do your own thing if you wish – though you wouldn’t guess it from the reasonable price, every piece is printed on museum-quality 320 GSM fine art paper with archival inks, so the value is there.
Katie Kime was founded in Texas, y’all – so it feels only right to pay a little respect with this quintessentially preppy art print. A natural fit for fellow Texans or anyone deep in the Katie Kime universe, and an easy way to wake up a tired corner.
You know what they say: everything’s bigger in Texas, so it makes sense to size up on this statement print, framed in characterfully grained walnut. Best reserved for places where you want to steal the scene – be it a dining room, an entryway, or adding a bit of Western attitude above the sofa.
Finally, you’ve found the perfect gift for your most astrology-obsessed friend – even if that person happens to be you. Have a look through and discover scenes that reframe the cosmos, pairing pastels with punchier reds, purples, and pinks.
If, scrolling through these prints, you’ve been tempted to revisit the gallery wall but refrained, consider this your sign. Like so many 2016 design trends, it’s back – just with better taste.
