In the UK Spring has arrived with lambs tripping across daffodiled fields. To bring some of that beautiful outside spirit in your home our Joycie Yellow is the perfect choice. Joycie Yellow is often used to brighten bathrooms and kitchens. The many colours artist Joycie Pitjara Morton used in the original painting have translated splendidly onto the wallpaper. The oranges and greens pop depending on the light and angle its viewed at so there’s endless choices of fabric colours for blinds or other soft furnishings you can pair it with - including our own fabric collection. Or you can opt for one of our other ‘My Country’ wallpapers which are equally as endearing with their depictions of sacred outback Australian land.
Our wallpapers suit many residential and commercial projects and have been used across the world in English period homes, French chateus , and contemporary houses who’ve opted for minimalism but needing a pop of colour and design with soul.

The Surrey Splendour invited us to be part of its Home Edit after “scouring the county [and a bit beyond] to find some exciting home inspired businesses to ensure that any renovation project exudes quality and design.” We are thrilled our ‘My Country' Aboriginal interiors collection was selected - it is so lovely to have the work of the Artists we represent embraced by so many in the UK, which in turn helps support the Communities and the Central Desert art centres.

Here is an excerpt from the article about Bay Gallery Home:
Alexandra opened what is the UK’s only dedicated Aboriginal gallery five years ago and in collaboration with British manufacturers, has created a vibrant international award-winning interior design range called ‘My Country’, using original Aboriginal painting designs.
“It is the only Australian Aboriginal interior collection in the world and it has now made The List - House and Garden bringing Aboriginal interiors to world class interior designers. People are drawn to the colours and patterns and when I explain each piece’s creation myth, it takes them to another place.”
Each painting is multi-layered in terms of its meaning, structure, symbolic and spiritual significance. Within the canvas lies secret business that only the artist and their families are privy to. But what the eye sees is a feast of colour, celebrating and representing a culture and way of life in a land few of us get to see. The relationship and trust Alexandra has built with the people she represents, has enabled her to showcase something rare and special.
“This building is medieval, but what is fascinating is that where we are dates back to Neolithic where people 10,000 years ago would have been painting at Market Place, Tetbury with ochres at the same time as the Aboriginals.
“I think that the town was already impacted by Brexit and I think people need to understand that. As people return, I hope they realise just how many independent businesses we have, each selling so many beautiful things. I do hope the sense of fear lifts and people will come into our shops again,” she says.
