Founded in 2018, what began as an eponymous homeware brand has evolved into something more considered: House of Petra, a pattern house at its core.

Colour, craft, and storytelling meet across tiles, wallpaper, and homewares; surfaces chosen because they are where pattern truly lives.

At its heart lies Petra's distinctive design language: innovative yet nostalgic, playful yet refined, and always driven by the belief that pattern has the power to transform a space and spread joy.

Pattern is the thread that runs through everything. From the light-hearted charm of the Delft tile series to the vivid geometry of Tartan, a reimagining of the iconic Scottish textile in tile form, each collection invites creative expression.

Motifs travel freely across surfaces: the same pattern that animates a wall becomes a tile, a trim, a piece of wallpaper. House of Petra exists to encourage that layering, that mixing and drenching, because a home full of pattern is a home full of life.

Drawing on her Lebanese roots and Scotland, the place she calls home, Petra creates pieces steeped in storytelling, designed to bring warmth and connection to everyday rituals.

Working closely with skilled artisans, she blends time-honoured techniques with fresh ideas to craft heirloom pieces that honour tradition, tread lightly on the earth, and shape a more beautiful, thoughtful way of living.

Moved by the world around her, Petra carries a quiet determination to make it better and more kind. That same spirit of care extends beyond the home: through our partnership with War Child, we help to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children living in war zones, a small yet meaningful way of turning empathy into action.

Behind The Dove

Our dove has always been at the heart of the brand. Its origins lie in Petra's Italian family name 'Palumbo' meaning ring dove in the dialects of southern Italy.

Over time, that translation has come to embody something deeper: the dove of peace but for us it also represents love, hope, equality, prosperity, and freedom, values that guide everything we create.
