Welcome to Kara Elise, a design studio focused on playful and elevated prints for home, decor, and fashion.

Birthed out of a desire to elevate the every day and bring beauty into the mundane, Kara’s designs span from notable Virginia landmarks to chinoiserie inspired motifs. Her prints are featured in local boutiques, clients’ interiors and commercial venues. Each print is completely versatile and customizable.

Thanks for visiting Kara Elise! I love art, but I love fabric even more. Ever since childhood, I have run my hands along every piece of fabric and clothing I could find. While I love art, it always frustrated me to look from a distance without touching and experiencing it. I believe art can be worn, lived in and be all encompassing. Each hand-drawn digital pattern is converted to textiles to bring life to you, your children, your table, living room, outdoors, etc.

I offer custom prints and would love to work with you to create a bespoke fabric or textile that reflects your personal style. I also offer interior design services a la cart and custom art work with various mediums including metal, wood, moss, acrylics and resin.

Please reach out with any comments or questions.
