An Interview with Shayla Goethe
Q: How would you describe your design style?
My design style is playfully childlike, rooted in a deep sense of wonder.
Q: How have your personal experiences or personality influenced your design ideas?
I’ve worked as a graphic designer for over 14 years, and recently I’ve entered what I like to call my “play era”—a season of creative exploration without judgment. As adults, we often need to re-learn how to be childlike: open, free, and curious in both life and art. I don’t intend to ever exit this era. I draw inspiration from the world around me—nature, art, ordinary moments—as well as from biblical motifs and the beliefs that ground and guide me.
Design in Living Spaces (Rugs/Home Design Philosophy)
Q: How do you incorporate your personal style into home design projects?
My personal style leans eclectic, with each space in my home reflecting a distinct mood while maintaining a cohesive warmth. I enjoy balancing bold, soft, and neutral tones to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, complemented by gold and wood accents. I’m intentional about incorporating meaningful art—nearly every piece has a story. With wood floors throughout, rugs are essential, and I gravitate toward colorful, non-traditional styles that add personality and texture to the room.
Q: What drew you to collaborate with our rug brand?
This year, I decided to re-design my bedroom in a colorful, dopamine decor style. In my search for the perfect rug, I came across LanySpace and immediately loved your style. When I saw “collaborate” at the bottom of the webpage, I couldn’t resist reaching out!
Collaboration with Lany Space
Q: What was your first impression of Lany Space rugs and our style?
LanySpace has such a joyful, playful, and boldly expressive style. Your rugs feel like they’re made for people who know how to embrace and enjoy life.
Q: Could you share the story or concept behind the collection you designed for us?
For the “squiggly” pieces, I explored organic shapes and spontaneous linework, allowing my hand to move freely without overthinking. These designs are meant to convey a sense of unfiltered, childlike joy and creative freedom. In contrast, the other three designs draw inspiration from Scripture. The pomegranate motif references its historical use in the Jewish temple, where it was engraved on capitals and embroidered into sacred garments. The Glory Cloud design represents God’s guiding presence with the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness, as described in the book of Exodus.
Q: Among the pieces in these collections, which design is your favorite, and why?
My favorite piece in this collection is King Lion. He is my stylistic interpretation of the Lion of Judah, who is Jesus Christ. I aimed to capture the fierceness of His love and holiness, while also expressing His gentleness and approachability. The lion symbolizes strength and protection, much like Christ’s care for His own. The hottest fires burn blue, so I chose blue eyes to represent the intense, burning love that He has for us all.
Q: If you could sum up this collection in three words, what would they be?
I would describe this collection as vivid, playful, and colorful.
