There's something about creating your own wallpaper and textiles that buying furniture or art in a store can't do:
It adds that personal and unique touch to your home, that money can't buy. Something handmade feels different, because you created it.
And in addition to that creating your own custom printed wallpaper and home textiles is one of the most fun and satisfying things you can do.
For me there is nothing more enjoyable then nurturing my creativity, it makes for a happier life and as you allow yourself to get lost within the design process it can even be relaxing and meditative.
On top of all of this you end up with beautiful home decor to improve your home with.
Can you think of a better hobby? :)
Creating your own custom wallpaper and textiles isn't difficult if you follow the right process.
Anyone can do it with my Moodboard Method.
This is the exact same method I've used to decorate our chateau rooms with bespoke wallpaper.
The Moodboard Method is an inspiration-based design process.
Using this method, anyone can come up with custom print designs that reflect their personality and taste.
A similar process is used by professional designers and this can allow even people with no drawing skills or any artistic background to come up with a beautiful design.
