Brighten your home with jubilant prints and patterns by Molly Mahon

Discover a World of Print, Colour and Pattern with Molly Mahon

Molly Mahon is an independent British designer whose genuine love of fun patterns, the simple beauty of nature, and lush colours of India culminate in jubilant homewares, textiles and luxury wallpapers.

Each pattern starts life as a block print original. Skillful artisans in India create carved wooden blocks which are used to print patterns by hand. The perfect imperfections that this art form leads to is what gives Molly’s designs real heart and soul.

Happy, welcoming homes are all about human interaction and genuine connection, and so they lend themselves to the imperfectly perfect element of our block printed patterns. This, perhaps ironically, is also what gives our wallpapers that premium, luxurious feel that simply cannot be achieved by other forms of design.

The authentic charm of Molly’s designs has not gone unnoticed. It has instead led to exclusive collaborations with renowned brands including British design pioneers, Boden, and American favourite, Anthropoligie. 

And with Molly Mahon luxury wallpapers, it can lead to your own home, too.

"Molly Mahon has a magical, modern eye for block printing. I have long been a fan of her work"

- Cath Kidston MBE

The Lasting Impact of Beautiful Patterns

Humankind has been drawn to expressive pattern design since ancient times. 

The meander decorative borders of ancient Greece, the incredible mosaics of Ancient Rome, and in more recent history, the classic Art Nouveau designs of William Morris… 

We are simply captivated by the impact that a bold and beautiful pattern can have in our homes and, because our homes are a huge part of our existence, in our lives as a whole.

The contemporary patterns of our luxury wallpapers are inspired by Molly’s authentic passions and interests. Most notably the abstract beauty of nature, especially in her locality of Ashdown Forest, and the rich colours of India, a country that provides Molly with endless stimulation and creative ideas. And creativity is an integral part of human nature.

Inspired by Flora & Fauna

Something as simple as a leisurely stroll in the local woods is where many of the prints in our luxury wallpaper range start life. The almost infinite rings of a tree trunk, inky spots on the wings of a butterfly, the gently geometric shapes of branches and leaves - everyday nature is prime inspiration for patterns.

These patterns are then translated into block print designs, and can be brought to life in your home. Flora and fauna inspired prints never date and suit all kinds of homes. Nature cannot go out of style, whether you opt for our bold Leaf design, Fern wallpaper in Mustard or Sage, pretty Marigold pattern, or coastal inspired Coral print.

    Inspired by India

    Molly is mesmerised by the noisy, bustling, colourful atmosphere of India. Nothing makes you feel more alive than stepping out into a crowded Delhi street, or witnessing the incredible craftsmanship of artisans in Jaipur.

    India is a country with a deep love and appreciation for decoration. Clothes, architecture, bridges, even lorries - pattern and colour is incorporated everywhere and anywhere. The overall effect is uplifting, exciting and inspiring.

    This romance with India and its patterns has been the catalyst for numerous Molly Mahon exclusive designs, including several of our luxury wallpapers - “Bindi” from the Bagru collection, our take on a classic stripe inspired by India’s love of wall hangings, and the striking Marwari Horse design, inspired by the traditional warrior horses originating in the Marwar region of Rajasthan.

      Inspired by Joy

      It’s easy to get caught up in what we think we “should” do, how we “should” behave, or what other people “might” think, and the same can be applied to our home and decorative styles. But what happens when we throw caution to the wind and liberate ourselves from these ruminations? 

      To look at an extreme example, take one of Molly’s biggest inspirations, the Bloomsbury Group and their house, Charleston - a rule breaking celebration of art, pattern and creative expression.

      But the mindset of Charleston and the Bloomsbury Group can be applied to any home on a smaller scale, and help you put a personal stamp on your space. For us, creative freedom via block printing equals true joy, and helps us to make a home that is alive with life, memories, feeling and personal stories.

      ‘I find a room full of textures, layers and colours exciting and uplifting’ - Molly Mahon

      Molly Mahon Luxury wallpapers such as the sweet and nostalgic Strawberry, pretty pastel Hearts, and enchanting Spots and Stars in delicate pink or fresh pea green evoke this sense of fun and joy, and are sure to inject these emotions into whatever space you introduce them to.

        Textural Luxury Wallpapers

        Our two newest wallpapers are Bindi in blue from our Bagru collection, and Strawberry in grass green for our Greencombe collection - both are textural luxury wallpapers made in Lancashire with traditional surface-printing machines.

        Our other luxury wallpapers are digitally printed to replicate the look and feel of hand block printing in an inventive and small scale manner. We’re thrilled with the effect, and the quality of wallpaper we produce. The intricacies in our block printed patterns translate beautifully when using this innovative digital method, but we wanted to try something new for Bindi and Strawberry.

        We say “something new”, but using surface pattern machines is a heritage technique that was first invented in 1838, and incredibly, these Victorian machines are still used today. Each colour within the wallpaper print has a different rubber roller, and they all work at once in perfect harmony to layer the colours and create the unique pattern.

        The overall textural effect and tiny variations in detail gives our luxury wallpaper soul, depth and a nostalgic romance. It also gives our wallpaper a luxurious, premium feel that will add heaps of individuality to your home.

          Finding your Home’s Personal Colours

          Colour is a universal language. No matter where you are in the world or what situation you are in, we can all connect via a happy sunshine yellow, a calming serene blue, or a rousing ruby red. Wherever Molly goes, she has fascinating conversations with strangers about decoration, pattern and the meaning of colour.

          We also believe that we are all naturally creative - whether you know it or not! Creativity is a key part of being a human, and we make creative decisions all the time, often without even thinking. Our homes are also an integral part of our lives - it’s human nature to want to create a space that you feel reflects your personality, taste and that can provide comfort and happiness in a busy world.

          Molly Mahon’s unique collection of colourful luxury wallpaper will breathe life and joy into your home. It will tell stories, encourage conversations and bring an authentic energy to any space. Colour can evoke endless feelings and memories, and finding your home’s colours is an exciting prospect.

          One of Molly’s favourite elements of designing block printed patterns is finding beautiful new colour combinations, and you too can find true colour happiness within your home with our UK luxury wallpapers. Keep it serene and fresh with our stylish Tree design in green, or add heaps of sunshine warmth with Hawaiian inspired Lani or Indian inspired Marwari Horse in gold.

          Mix and match, clash or complement - use your innate creativity and make a home you love. Take a look at our handy Mood Boards if you need a place to begin.

          Matchimalism or “Clashimalism”?

          Will you choose a lively blend of different colours and patterns for your home, or go down the matchimalism route to make a big impact with a favourite print?

          Although all unique, our luxury wallpapers have a similar vibe and energy, meaning they complement each other within your home, so if you can’t decide between our luxury wallpapers - you don’t have to!

          Take a leaf from Molly’s book and do what feels right in your own space. That could mean painting your fireplace a bold hot pink, clashing your curtains with your wallpaper to create a joyous fusion of colour and pattern, or matching textiles such as cushions and lampshades with your luxury wallpaper to create a matchiamlisitc dream.

          ‘Homes should be a reflection of their inhabitants - of us! We need to personalise them and not be afraid to have them as we truly want them to be.’ - Molly Mahon

          We’ve worked hard to match the colours in our luxury wallpapers and fabrics, so that they can be used beautifully together in one big celebration of print and pattern that will bring a lasting element of fun and feeling into your home.

          Peruse our home goods and fabrics for lashings of pattern and colour inspiration for any and every space.

          • Our Perfectly Imperfect Design Process

            Molly fell in love with block printing after trying it out at a workshop. A totally self taught designer, her passion for all things print couldn’t be more clear. Molly’s interest in block printing then took her to Jaipur, to meet the leading artisans in the trade and see them at work - a truly mesmerising experience.

            Block printing is always done by hand, and this gives it a perfectly imperfect human element. The intricacies in each hand printed pattern are totally unique and ooze authenticity into your home, giving a premium feel that just doesn’t compare to modern forms of design making.

            Even our digitally printed UK luxury wallpaper retains this perfectly imperfect essence, by replicating our original block printed patterns perfectly. And with our new textural wallpapers, Strawberry and Bindi, the human element in Molly’s designs is well and truly alive.

            From sketches in her Sussex studio inspired by walks in the forest and trips to India, to hand carved wooden blocks, printed cloth and then digital printed quality wallpaper - this is a perfectly imperfect luxury wallpaper design process like no other.

          • Respecting Nature through Small Batch Sustainability

            Nature and our planet is a huge source of inspiration and motivation for Molly. We believe there is a profound connection between block printing and the natural world. Many of Molly’s designs are inspired by nature, printing blocks are carved from wood, cloth is woven from flax, cotton or silk, and dyes are made from organic pigments in plants, minerals and rocks. 

            We have a deep respect for nature and are always conscious of the impact we have on our environment. That’s why everything from the materials we use to our manufacturing and design process is comprehensively researched and regularly reviewed, to ensure it fills us with pride and as much joy as our world of colourful prints.

            All of our collections are made in small batches to guarantee both quality and waste prevention. And you can be sure that your order will be free of plastic packaging, too.
