Why stripes are still inspiring

I just love our new Ticking Stripes wallpaper ... so classic, yet the addition of vertical lines just gives them a little twist, I think. I am thinking of using the Taupe Ticking Stripes on my staircase; it will be a wonderful way to add extra interest to a dark corner, plus it will cover some of the imperfections in that wall. Wallpaper is perfect for that! All the wallpaper retailers I have spoken to say that stripes are perennial favourites with wallpaper customers and I know this design is going to be one of our biggest hits.

Designing woman

The Moore & Moore wallpaper business is up and running! The website went live just before Christmas with all the launch designs and 13 initial stockists. We have had very positive feedback about the site, which is simple and elegant (in my biased opinion). It has been such fun working on the site with a great team of people - Rose Russell from RGC Design and the photographer John Paul Urizar.

Here's one of the launch designs - the Gum Leaves in Black on White. I think it manages to look contemporary, yet still retains some classic elements. The designer, KT Doyle has allowed the leaves to "float" down the wall, which is very effective.

We have had a lot of interest in our designs from the decorating magazines, which is very encouraging. At least three magazines are looking at running stories on Moore & Moore and I hope this will lead to lots of orders. More details coming soon ...
