Velvet Mosaic

Velvet Mosaic is my little love letter to secondhand magic.

I gather old art and curious objects, then turn them into soulful gallery walls and shelf sets that feel like they’ve always belonged. Every piece is thrifted, every arrangement intentional—designed for spaces that want to feel storied, not staged.

Hi, I’m Katie!

I’m the goblin magpie behind Velvet Mosaic.

I’ve been drawn to beautiful, unusual things for as long as I can remember. From digging through garage sales and thrift stores as a kid to wandering open-air markets across Europe, I’ve always had an eye for pieces that tell a story. My design style is shaped by travel, nostalgia, and the joyful chaos of raising six kids—this work is where I get to bring it all together and create something meaningful.

Ways to work together

Gallery Walls in a Box

It started with a viral video about “Gallery Walls in a Box,” and here we are now—a full-fledged company, with multiple ways to bring Velvet Mosaic’s unique designs into your home. Every piece is secondhand, every layout is intentional, and every wall tells a story.

Curated Sets

For those who love the idea of a gallery wall but don’t want to make decisions, curated sets are ready-to-hang collections I create with full creative freedom. You pick the vibe, and I send the magic—no back-and-forth, just beautiful, one-of-a-kind art, arranged with a storyteller’s touch.

Custom Sets

If you want a hand in the process, custom sets invite you into the fun. We’ll work together to choose a color palette, mood, or general theme, and I’ll build a wall that feels like it was always meant to be yours. Every custom order includes a life-size hanging template for easy, no-guesswork installation.

Consultation Services

Already have a pile of art and no idea what to do with it? I offer virtual consulting to help you turn your existing treasures into a finished wall. I’ll guide you with layout, spacing, and sourcing any missing pieces, so you can finally get your collection off the floor and onto the wall where it belongs.

The Curio Cabinet

Sometimes a shelf needs a little magic too. The Curio Cabinet is where you’ll find curated collections of vintage objects—perfect for mantels, side tables, bookshelves, or creating tiny altars around your home. It’s like a miniature treasure hunt, already gathered and waiting for you.

Commercial Spaces

I also work with small businesses to create story-driven walls and installations for cafés, studios, shops, and boutique spaces. If your business needs a little old-world soul (and fewer blank walls), I’d love to help you build something unforgettable.

Artist Collabs

Whenever possible, I love featuring work by independent artists alongside the vintage treasures I source. From dreamy prints to small original pieces, these collaborations bring fresh perspective and layered meaning to each wall. Every artist is fully credited, both online and in your package—because beautiful things deserve to be seen and celebrated.

The Curious Collector’s Guide to Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! That’s where my consultation service comes in. If you already have a collection of art but feel stuck on how to hang it, I can help you plan the layout and source anything that might be missing to complete the story.
Absolutely! For custom orders, I’ll work with your preferences. The more you can tell me about what you love (or don’t), the better I can make it feel like you.
Everywhere! I source secondhand art from thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales, and the occasional dusty attic. I also collaborate with independent artists whose work adds extra magic to the mix.
Curated sets are ready-to-ship wall arrangements that I create with full creative freedom—no input needed, just beautiful results. Custom sets are made with you, based on your preferences and space.
Each order includes thrifted artwork in vintage or upcycled frames, a printed-to-scale template showing exactly where to hang each piece, and any necessary hardware or instructions. All you need is a hammer and nails.
Once you place your order, I’ll reach out to learn about your space, color palette, and general vibe. From there, I source every piece secondhand, design the layout, and ship everything to your door—with a full-size hanging template included, so it’s as easy as tape, nails, done.
Easy! You’ll get a life-size paper template showing exactly where each piece goes. Just tape it to the wall, mark the spots, and start hanging. (No math required.)
Not at the moment, but I’m working on it! For now, Velvet Mosaic ships within the U.S.
Because each piece is one-of-a-kind and made-to-order, I can’t accept returns. But if something arrives damaged or you have a concern, please reach out—I want you to be thrilled with your wall.
