Abigail Willis

Willis Bloom

“With a dream of running our own business, we set the wheels in motion. I had a successful career in marketing for many years, but I had always said that when I had reached a milestone birthday I wanted to be my own boss. Eventually Chris, my husband, persuaded me to be brave and just do it.

He gave me the massive nudge I needed. He was also hankering after a fresh start after a career in engineering so we decided that we would set up a business together. This would give us the flexibility of time together away from the 9-5, give us a fresh challenge professionally and would be something I could really truly love doing. Willis Bloom was created with a simple ethos in mind. Live happily, embrace colour, have a passion for pattern and a desire for things that are naturally elegant. Creating glorious fabrics and wallpaper which start off as hand drawn designs is what we love to do. Our inspiration comes from everyday things; our family, the nature surrounding us, real homes; we treasure the simple and beautiful. For us it’s all about having a passion for where we live. It doesn’t have to be on trend or a show home: in fact, quite the opposite. We want to help create timeless places to love where our designs are cherished over years.”
