Painted floral petals and curled green leaves. Detailed, embroidered designs all over a stitched notebook. Pretty pastel.
Mysterious navy. Something whimsical and magical. Sophisticated serif fonts. Handwritten-style cursive dipped in ink. Homemade pastries. Tea parties. The feeling of being at ease on a Sunday afternoon.
If these words don’t give you that warm, fuzzy feeling of being somewhere you are so cozy yet filled with such joy that it just gives you life, I don’t know what will.
If all of these details could be encapsulated into a vision, I would have to point towards Rifle Paper Co.
As someone who is constantly scrolling through social media for all things aesthetics, I have to say I have developed a good eye for what genuinely feels chic— and everything about Rifle Paper Co. is just that.
It’s eclectic, colorful, lively, quirky, chic, detail-oriented, beautiful, full of personality, and feels just like home.
The Story Behind The Lifestyle
The international stationery and lifestyle brand is based in Winter Park, Florida, and was created by husband and wife Nathan and Anna Bond. Inspired by Anna’s hand-painted illustrations, the signature aesthetic is modern and timeless at the same time.
“I started this brand creating products I loved and would be proud to use myself. Many years later, I still feel that way. What makes me happiest is hearing how much joy our products bring to people such as a colorful pen to liven up your work desk or a card that is used to bring a note of encouragement to someone who needs it most.”
-Anna Bond, Co-Founder & Artist
The brand is all about sentimental things in life, or the small things with such details that it makes you just stop in your tracks and appreciate them.
Making Your Aesthetics Dreams Come True
If the thoughtful aesthetics of Rifle Paper Co. stirs up something beautiful and art-filled in your mind, but you feel daunted by the sophistication and the fine-tuned eye for detail, don’t be. It’s actually not as difficult as you may think to create a beautiful space in your very own room:
1. Add Personal Touches to Everything.
Have a signature way of keeping in touch with your people. From handwritten notes and thoughtful letters, these sweet ways will have you always remembered in fond ways.
2. Add Some Greens to the Space
Adding some flowers, plants, and anything that reminds you of nature can be such a great way to breathe life into a space— and having a cute vase to prop everything up completes the look.
3. Don’t Hide the Clutter, But Keep it Organized
You don’t necessarily have to keep all surfaces completely spotless, but if you want to keep your keys, jewelry, and knick-knacks stored in a chic way, get a catchall to show it all off.
For The Writing Desk
This is pretty much everything you will ever need to make your desk that stunning space where you can also be the most productive self.
If anything, I genuinely think Rifle Paper Co. has the most beautiful collection of stationery I have ever come across, and I don’t say that lightly. Out of everything, I think the absolute must-haves have to be the signature card box sets and the embroidered journals.
I am absolutely obsessed with the beautiful letter sets that Rifle Paper Co. has. They come in a box, which elevates the already sophisticated experience. I love how it keeps it easy to store, but also makes the storage look good. With high-quality paper, foiled gold, and plenty of room to pour your heart out inside, these cards are a total must-have.
The Birthday Card version of the Keepsake Card Box features the most festive, chic, and adorable birthday card designs with gold accents that are sure to make any person feel extra special. From cards featuring colorful candles with sparkling stars to a beautiful rainbow sprinkle cake to a slice of joyful cake to the most celebratory cupcake, this card has it all.
The Thank You Card version of the Keepsake Card Box in Garden Party print is all about sending the sentiments of a beautiful bouquet all in words, which may be even more heartwarming. These beautiful gold-accented letters feature hand-painted-inspired painting designs with beautiful calligraphy declaring gratitude.
Last but certainly not least, I am absolutely in love with the embroidered journal. I genuinely believe it was love at first sight. This beautiful journal feels like an artwork itself, and it genuinely wants to make me put it up and frame it somewhere on display.
With the most gorgeous embroidery of a beautiful blue peacock perched upon a bed of beautiful blooming flowers and greenery, everything about this feels so royal, elegant, and stunning.
With over 240 lined pages, this journal will have more than enough space for you to collect all your thoughts— whether you use it as a diary, gratitude journal, or a to-do tracker, there is so much potential for this piece.
For The Vanity
Nothing says let’s get all ready and look pretty than a pretty get ready space itself!
I genuinely never realized how helpful a catchall tray could be until I finally started using one. Life is so much easier with it— and it also helps if the catchall is pretty to look at, too.
The Porcelain Catchall Tray is perfectly sized for all your trinkets and is made with high-quality porcelain that captures that nostalgic vintage look. The metallic gold scalloped rim and gold accents bring this piece back to modern life, giving it a cool edge you cannot find elsewhere.
Out of all the styles, the Estee print has to be my absolute favorite. Featuring a beautiful motif of elegant countryside wildflowers in a distinctive arrangement, there is something so romantic and sweet about this design.
I love storing just about anything on it— from my rings, necklaces, and keys, there is so much potential for this one.
With a trinket dish, you are going to want a gorgeous vase to match it, and the Porcelain Vase in Beetles & Bugs is the perfect way to kick off the upcoming spring season.
This also might be the most stable vase I have ever come across. Even when filled with large, tall flowers, this vase stands strong and will be able to securely store all your floral needs!
The Beetles & Bugs print is inspired by vintage scientific drawings reminiscent of those of thousands of years ago in Europe.
Featuring beautiful yet exotic bugs of bottle green color and speckles of bright yellow and sweet lucky ladybugs amongst many more, this vase is representative of all things quirky yet harmonic with nature. It’s oh-so-charming!
