After more than 25 years of supplying high-end soft goods, wallcoverings felt like a natural next step for the company. “Rugs and fabrics speak the same language as wallcoverings,” explains Amy Williams, design director at Perennials and Sutherland LLC.

The interiors, by Abel Design Group, combine warm earthy colors, organic materials, brass fixtures and hardwood floors in an homage to the neighboring 160-acre park, just steps away.

Last fall, the company’s flagship showroom opened in Central East Austin. The space’s elegant furniture and artful accents range from volcanic stone stools, which are kept minimal to reveal the rock’s natural variations, to a green marble bench abstracting Mayan hieroglyphs.

Abstracts serve as self-expression and spiritual healing for the Austin-based artist, who discovered the art form as a means of therapy. She uses pastels and charcoal to make intentional marks, while acrylic paint provides an ease of manipulation and ability to speak to a range of emotions. In the same vein, Austin hopes her paintings will give space for the viewer to meditate and find their own reclamation of voice.
