Bespoke interiors and homeware brand June St. George has embraced the new pattern-drenching trend that’s inspired by the opulence of the Baroque Period. The company said this 2025 trend means infusing spaces with vibrant, layered patterns including rich, statement-making rugs.

The company, founded in 2019 by Ally-Catherine Trenary, offers consumers the choice of designing their own rug with costs ranging from $115 to $3,300.

June St. George has also recently introduced a new category for the brand, its Eloise collection, inspired by the well-known literary character created by Kay Thompson. New pieces include rugs, pillows, pet beds and blankets. Trenary said she believed Eloise’s 70^th anniversary in 2025 was the perfect time to launch this new collection.

With a total of 14 unique designs, with most being customizable, clients can choose their colors from a selection of 180 wool poms or swatches and use the company’s real-time rendering tool to watch the design come to life.

The designs also incorporate original patterns hand-drawn by Trenary such as checkerboard floors, off-kilter stripes, and a signature pattern called Skidder named after Eloise’s favorite game.

Trenary said her company focuses on creating heirloom quality rugs by using traceable, certified New Zealand wool to guarantee pieces are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced.
