Deco Mag – June’13 Issue

Just a bit more press, which we happen to be in. Yay to that!
Not only are our wallpapers pretty to look at, they also help you keep a clear conscience on the eco side of things. So, not just a pretty face!

A snippet preview of the said blog (click on below text to read the full article):
“For contemporary wallpapers in strong colours, see Edinburgh-based Moody Monday’s impactful collections. The paper used is PEFC-sourced (The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and inks are water-based. Wallpapers are hand-printed in small batches in Edinburgh to ensure any waste is negligible.” – Deco Mag, June’13 Issue

On the ethical side of things, we do try to keep things in the family (the UK). In addition to making most of our products in-house in our Edinburgh studio, we also only use Scottish or UK based suppliers and manufacturers. Which means that we are helping to support the UK economy and the businesses here, and that there’s also less distance on the supply chain, which equals to us contributing to being greener.

For more information on how we do the things we do, have a read here: ‘About the Handmade Process’.

Help Us Choose Our New Homeware Designs!

We have been busy here at Moody Monday HQ. Yes, indeed! We have been really busy creating new stuff to add to our homeware range, as it looked a bit lonely for some while now.

We have came up with designs to introduce into our coasters and placemats in our homeware range, and they are to match our debut wallpaper collection. So you will have the option of going all out with our designs, or you can choose to have snippets of it here and there as accessories around the home. And what best to start with but with placemats and coasters?

This new range is to completely replace the ones we currently have on our website, and it will be melamine finished to ensure prolonged durability. So not only will it be more robust, it will also be easier to care for.

On that note, we are so pleased at how the proofs had turned out that we now just cannot decide which one we should go for to start our modest collection of coasters and placemats designs! And this is where you come in to help us out!

As we highly value your opinion and great taste, we thought YOU should decide as to which ones you’d let into your design-conscious homes! We’ll even reward you for this! So we’re letting you decide which four out of the six design options below that are your favourites, and we should be making to add to our homeware range.

A preview of our coasters designs:

We will be posting this all over twitter, facebook, and of course our website.
Vote ends at midnight, Wednesday, 5th June 2013.

So get yourself in gear and help us decide in order to get your mitts on one of our matching sets of coasters & placemats with a combined worth of £58!

I will be looking forward to see what gets selected!
