Our design philosophy is all about layering. Our lives are composed of the many unique memories and experiences that sculpt our character and frame our outlook on the world. As we embark on new journeys, embrace new passions, expand our families, change careers, travel and grow, we add inspired new layers to our lives.

With each layer, our style choices evolve. Regardless of whether your fashion style is influenced by the runways in Paris or the duties of parenting, a peek inside your closet offers a glimpse into the real you. It’s second nature for us to choose clothing that reflects these layers… so why not adopt this same approach with your home décor?

All of the products, designs and ideas I create are born from this philosophy….I encourage you to embrace your own personal style, throw out the rules of decorating, and cultivate your interior aesthetic on the foundation of those irreplaceable memories, experiences and layers.

Explore and be inspired!



About Annette
Born in Los Angeles, Annette Tatum graduated from UCLA with a degree in design. Her studies included industrial and textile design, mixed media and collage. After graduating from UCLA she worked in the lighting, furniture and home textile industries, where she cultivated her passion for textiles.

In 1994 she founded her own business, Annette Tatum Collections, and in 2008 she authored her first book, The Well-Dressed Home. When she's not at home in Santa Monica with her husband and four children, Annette can be found in her studio designing new collections, or working on interior design projects.



About The Products
Over fifteen years ago when Annette introduced her first collection of bedding, her goal was to help people create outstanding interiors inspired by their own personal layers. Since then, Annette's collection has grown to include loungewear, home décor and accessories, nursery design and much more. And while she's introduced dozens of lines since that original collection, her founding philosophy remains the same: your home should be a layering of the styles you wear and the lifestyles you enjoy. Color and print have always been a passion of Annette’s, which she has combined with the ease of the California lifestyle to define the Annette Tatum Collection.

Established in 1995 around the time Annette gave birth to her second child Ella, Little House is the baby and child division of Annette Tatum Collections.  Inspired by childhood and the feeling of being a new mother, Little House prints and patterns are designed to embrace the innocence and personality of the child. Created for the contemporary mom and reflective of Annette’s own experiences as a mother of 4, Little House products are designed with the ease and comfort to fashion one-of-a-kind nurseries and children’s rooms.

At Annette Tatum, you will find elegant and beautiful designs that are always comfortable, though never predictable. Based in Santa Monica, California, all of our original fabric designs are printed on 100% cotton, and every product is made with care in Los Angeles, California.
