Meet Peter

Our Founder
Peter Dunham was raised in France and educated in England at Stowe. He read modern languages at Exeter College and business administration at the American University in Paris. After graduating he worked in real estate in New York City.
Peter moved to Los Angeles in 1998 and immediately started his interior design company. In 2003 he launched his eponymous fabric and wallpaper collection, now sold through 16 showrooms worldwide. To house a growing collection of handcrafted furniture, textiles and vintage finds, Peter opened Hollywood at Home in 2007, which is Peter Dunham Textiles’ flagship showroom. Located in Los Angeles’s La Cienega Design Quarter, it has become a leading destination for design lovers.
Peter is always on the hunt for inspiration for new textiles and wallpapers, traveling the world every year and finding ideas abroad as well as in his own backyard. His travels as a young man to India, European upbringing, and California lifestyle inform our fabrics and wallpaper, creating a collection that celebrates adventure, history, color, pattern, and a relaxed sophistication.
AROUND THE WORLD
So much of Peter’s inspiration comes from travel. Here are a few snaps.

Fig Leaf
Our best-selling fabric is inspired by the fig groves and quirky home of Salvador Dali, Peter’s next door neighbor growing up in Spain.
DEEG PALACE
Peter has long had a love affair with India and its colorful culture. The Deeg palace, although remote, is worth the trip.
TAKE IT IN
The palace, located in Rajasthan, is open to the public. If you go, remember to look up! And all around…




INSPIRATION POINT
The gorgeous painted ceilings in the palace inspired our print, Deeg. The fabric design echoes its dense, lush geometry.
A FABRIC IS BORN
Now, Deeg comes in four colorways on a cotton/linen ground. All textiles carry a rich history. Now you know the story of Deeg.

Holding Stock
We work very hard to keep most of our fabrics in stock at any given time. If a fabric is not in stock, it’s likely in production, cutting down on standard lead times. We know that design projects can hit unexpected twists and turns, so think of us next time you’re in a pinch.
