Lou & Co

east sussex

Hello, I'm Louise, the artist and designer behind Lou & Co.

I work from my little studio in East Sussex, surrounded by paints, patterns and an ever-growing collection of things I've gathered for inspiration.

I originally trained in textiles and surface pattern design and spent the early part of my career working in print and textiles. That background still influences the way I work today — I love colour, pattern and decorative detail, and particularly the charm of something that has been painted by hand.

The story behind the business
Meet Lou & Co

My inspiration comes from all sorts of places: flowers and gardens, vintage textiles, old decorative objects, travel and the little details I notice along the way. These ideas usually begin as paintings and gradually find their way onto prints, personalised artwork, wrapping paper, cards and decorative pieces.

Lou & Co has grown from my love of making things that feel joyful, personal and a little nostalgic. I hope to create pieces that are lovely to give, lovely to receive, and perhaps even lovely enough to keep.

When I'm not painting or working on Lou & Co, you'll usually find me with my family, planning our next adventure or coming home from one with far too many photographs and new ideas.
