Republic of Happy

I design bright, bold and unique prints and turn them into beautifully made home decor products, bringing happiness and smiles into people’s homes and lives. Every product is lovingly designed in my colourful studio in Cornwall and expertly made in the UK.

I’m Veronica, a graphic designer turned surface pattern designer, originally from tropical Colombia, one of the most beautiful, abundant and colourful countries in the world, where I was brought up in an incredible and very inspiring family of architects, designers and painters.

Stunning landscapes, plants, animals, colours, art, objects and living spaces were part of my life from day one. This jump-started my creativity and later on defined me as a designer. It also gave me an insatiable love for vibrant colours.

I’ve been designing graphics for print and web for more than 25 years, but after discovering surface pattern design in 2011, it became my absolute passion.

I love designing prints with bold graphic elements, striking colour combinations, and a good dose of playfulness. Florals and geometrics are my cup of tea. My graphic design background strongly influences everything I create, and bright colours are essential for my survival.

I created Republic of Happy to bring fun, colourful and joyful homewares to the world, including beautifully crafted home textiles and kitchen linens. Bringing joy through colour and pattern is my mission because I believe our happiness goes hand in hand with what we surround ourselves with!

The covers in my signature cushion collection are double-sided and feature two brightly coloured coordinated prints and contrasting piping. The fronts feature a botanical print inspired by the exuberance of my native Colombia’s flora. The backs have vibrant geometric patterns.

The kitchen textiles range has a selection of original, high quality, and very colourful aprons, oven gloves and tea towels, bringing all the joy into the cooking and baking time.

All textile products are printed on super soft 100% cotton drill, which is also strong and durable, and made in the UK by some of the most experienced printers and skilful sewing hands. Every detail is done to perfection. And no dry-cleaning is required!

The fabrics used are all made in England and sourced from reliable and responsible producers, which my manufacturers have built a relationship with over the past 20 years.

They are digitally printed with planet-friendly water-based inks, making it a much more environmentally friendly process. To obtain the very best prints the fabrics are scoured and mercerized, ensuring the fabrics are 100% ready to achieve the best possible print.

The Republic of Happy product range is slowly expanding, with wrapping paper being the latest addition. The fun and colourful gift wrap collection is also proudly made in the UK and printed on quality, FSC-approved, uncoated paper for a luxurious look and feel. It is also 100% recyclable and printed with environmentally friendly vegetable inks.

Art prints will be hitting the shop soon, featuring unique and colourful designs.

At Republic of Happy, we believe in happiness, fun and friendliness. In creativity, authenticity and absolute excellence. We believe in the power of surrounding yourself with beautiful things!
