In an era of quiet minimalism, House of MBR makes a compelling case for living boldly. The maximalist lifestyle brand, founded by artist and designer Michelle Bradley Robertson, has built a devoted following for its vibrant prints, vintage-inspired silhouettes, and unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. What began in fashion has evolved seamlessly into home décor, proving that personal style does not end at the closet door.
“For me, fashion and home have always been intertwined,” Robertson says. “They’re both forms of self-expression.” It was only natural that designers began requesting her signature textiles for interiors. With a deep love for traditional Southern design, hand-painted murals, layered patterns, saturated color, and heirloom antiques, Robertson saw an opportunity to translate her art-driven approach into the spaces we inhabit every day.
At the heart of the collection are her statement pillows: mixed-media designs finished with velvet cording, tailored gussets, and richly saturated prints that begin as original artwork. Each piece is structured and substantial, designed to feel bespoke and to anchor a room with confidence. They are not trend-driven accents, but collectible elements intended to be layered, kept, and passed down.
The home line will expand this year to include pinch-pleat panels, wallpaper, linens, outdoor pillows, fabric, and more, all launching with a spring collaboration with designer Edith Anne Duncan. Select pieces will be available direct-to-consumer, while fabric by the yard will be offered exclusively to designers through houseofmbr.com.
Produced entirely in America, House of MBR maintains meticulous oversight from print to stitch, ensuring enduring quality. The aesthetic is boldly maximalist yet timeless, celebrating the tension between old and new, structure and whimsy. The result is a collection that feels curated, storied, and unapologetically personal, where artistry lives in every detail.
