Our bitchin’ powder room mural featured in Interiors Mag

When a client calls with a badass pink powder room concept - you deliver.

Sharing her rendering and a simple pink and gray marble sample, we designed a big, bold, not-sorry custom mural for Joanna Parol Interior Design that perfectly captures the marble’s hues and complements the energy of the space. Check it out on page 89 of Interiors Magazine’s June/July edition.

Spanning three walls and the 5th wall, the design you see isn’t something you’ll find on our website, and is completely unique to Joanna’s project. When you come to our team of designers - we’re ready for your abstract concepts, unique visions and experimental projects. We have archives of design options at our fingertips for opportunities just like this.

Fast forward to today and Interiors Mag has featured the pink powder room magic in their current June+July issue. The powder room is complete with all-immersive pink tones, gray accents, and is entirely a vibe. A simple concept turned into a bitchin’ project thanks to a little collaboration and a lot of women power. That’s the shit we love.

A Rebel with a Cause

It all begins with an idea.

I’ve often struggled with the impact I make in the world. Making wallpaper doesn’t feel like enough. I work in a luxury industry that can, at times, feel very superficial - especially when I see so many people struggling just to pay their bills. When people are fleeing their homes to come to the US for safety, wallpaper design feels so insignificant in the greater scheme of things.

This has been weighing on me for years, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I asked myself how I could take what I am currently doing and leverage it into something that can do more for the world.

In 2017, I started working with the Caliber Foundation, a charity which funds gun buyback programs across the country, by donating 20% of the sales of my Caliber Wallpaper Collection and Art Prints to help get illegal guns off the street. It was liberating to discover I could make murals and fine art in a way that had a real impact, by contributing to a charity with a mission I truly believe in.

In 2019, I feel the strong urge to do even more. I feel pulled to become a Rebel with a Cause. Rebel with a Cause represents a new way for me to continue making art while also making a difference. By dedicating each of my wallpaper collections to a different charity, and donating up to 50% of my personal income from each sale, I feel that not only can I make a difference to the charities that I support, but also serve as an example to our industry encouraging others to take a stand for causes that matter to them.

Please look for our upcoming announcements describing the marriage among our existing collections, original limited edition prints, and causes that empower women, help the homeless, educate kids, aid immigrants, rescue animals, save the planet and offer hope to the addicted. I hope you will join me on this journey of giving back, making a difference, and creating not just a beautiful world but one that we can also be proud of.

Bold, new watercolor art prints

It all begins with an idea.

If you are familiar with our work then you have probably seen many of our watercolor murals, in magazines, online, instagram. If you are not familiar then please check out our installations page to see some incredible wall covering we have done for our clients over the years. The watercolor series was THE idea that made me start this company. I just knew it would be incredible, nothing like it existed at all at the time and I just knew it was a cool idea people would get as excited about as I did. What I envisioned in my mind is nowhere near as badass as the work we actually produce. It took awhile to really perfect the way we create the artwork and the way we reproduce it, but I think we have the best process in the industry. Being an artist, a textile designer, and a printing company (we do all our own printing in house) really gave me insight into all aspects to develop a great process all around. On top of that we are always adding new designs to the watercolor series. That is a way for us to show what is exciting to us, design and art wise, and the artistic direction, we as a studio, are headed in. It’s fun to refresh what is on our site and add new pieces, change it up, see what people are drawn to.

I think that is why that series has continued to be so popular. That it is always changing, developing, and growing and the artwork we have is so vast it allows us to really create a unique design for all our clients. What is on our website is just a small fraction of the work we have and the 1000’s of ways it can be used.

Way back in the day, before we had created all this artwork, clients would send us their paint colors and fabric swatches and we would paint brand new pieces based entirely for those projects. That is what lead to the large archive of artwork we have. That doesn’t happen much anymore since we have such a large selection at this point. (We can still do that, if and when needed.) Now we just create with no rules, direction, or guidelines to follow. We can live in a creative moment and see where it takes us and pull from that what feels fresh and exciting.

With that being said, we have recently added a lot of new pieces to the website, not only in our watercolor galleries, but we revamped our canvas shop and our fine art shop with all new pieces.

The canvases are gorgeous and one of my favorite ways to add color and texture if you can’t do a full mural. You can find our canvas prints here. On top of that, I am really loving the saturated and bold new fine art prints that we are printing on high gloss premium photo paper. Check those out over here.

And if you just want to cruise through the artwork on the site start here and then explore from there.

Here are a couple recent custom mural wall covering install images from our amazing clients, who take our artistic vision and implement it into their projects in the most jaw dropping ways. We look good because of you guys!
