Biography
Rosanna Falconer is a textile and interior designer known for her distinctive, colour-led approach to interiors, textiles and tablescaping. Her romantic visual language draws on the English natural world, translated through the centuries-old craft traditions of India.
She creates bespoke block-printed homeware, each design beginning as a pencil drawing before being rendered in hand-carved wooden blocks and brought to life by master artisans in Jaipur.
“A foreign voice that has amplified, not appropriated, one of Rajasthan’s most precious traditions.”

Her interior design work brings the same sensibility to private residences in London and India, combining colour, pattern and decorative detail with an emphasis on craftsmanship. Her projects span the design and decoration of individual rooms through to larger residential schemes.
Her event styling began as a New Year’s resolution in 2018 to host more dinner parties, developing into richly layered settings characterised by bold colour, pattern, florals and decorative detail. Her work has been featured in Vogue, The Daily Telegraph and Architectural Digest India, with clients including Jo Malone London, Ffern and Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Rosanna began her career in fashion, with roles including Business Director at Matthew Williamson and leading the digital strategy for the British Fashion Council.
