"...mightily impressed by Sian Elin’s wallpaper designs..”

We were absolutely thrilled with our products in Good Homes Magazine this month. The ‘Perfect Pastels’ feature is so beautiful and well styled! They featured our Inlay cushion, Tress cushion, Chevrons cushion and teatowel, and Tress wallpaper (which you can see framed on the walls).

I love the use of the beautiful white topped wood tables from Dwell. As well as the sofas and chairs from Barker and Stonehouse. And combined with the gorgeous colourful geometric pastels throughout. There are also some very interesting wall features – a great inspiration for how to decorate your home. It’s fantastic to see our products styled in situ. Thanks Good Homes Magazine!

Thank you very much to the lovely Will from Bright.Bazzar for featuring our wallpaper last month! We love having a read of Will’s incredibly popular blog, it’s always so full of colourful and pretty things – and the blog itself is very pretty too. 

You can see the full feature over on Will’s blog here: http://www.brightbazaarblog.com/2013/05/take-your-pick-sian-elin-wallpaper.html

In June Sian was interviewed by BBC Wales (above) about the impact of the Arts on the economy in Wales, where she talked about the invaluable support the Arts Council of Wales has given her. Sian says "The first grant I obtained from them enabled me to launch my business and brand Sian Elin, at Tent London last year. Exhibiting at trade shows can be extremely expensive, and in fact often stops young and/or emerging designers from showcasing their work on an international platform. And so for that I will always be very grateful."

Part of the interview also made it onto BBC Radio Wales (which you can listen to here: bbc-radio-wales-interview), where Sian talks about how our textiles are printed in the North of England, then sewn up in Wales.

We were thrilled to get Issue 6 of Homemaker magazine in the post, and have a read through Sian's interview. Thanks so much to Lizzie and Paula @Homemaker for being such wonderful people to work with. They also featured our prints in a separate magazine included in the issue, alongside Liberty and Miss Print. So we really couldn’t have been happier!

We were thrilled to be shortlisted for the Guardian’s best practice award, highlighting the best of British business.
