Ready to transform your room? We’re excited to announce the arrival of Marimekko Wallpaper to AlwaysMod.com!

Demand for Marimekko to reintroduce their wallpaper has soared recently as more and more designers have turned towards the use of patterns and color when designing a space. Marimekko heard their pleas and is partnering with Italian company Sirpi to produce this new collection of vinyl wallpapers.
 
The new Marimekko wallpaper collection features some of the most well-known Marimekko patterns as well as a number of more recent designs from young, popular artists.

Initially, we will offer 11 prints for quick-ship, but we’ll be adding more patterns soon. If you have a favorite pattern and don’t see it just let us know. (There are a total of 56 patterns - so almost all patterns you see in our fabric section are represented)

We spotted these funky throw pillows on a neutral toned couch on the blog, apartmenttherapy.com. We love the idea of mixing different bold prints if you have a solid colored couch. In this photo they used the Marimekko Metsänväki fabric.

We found this great use of Marimekko fabric on Style Carrot. We think it is a clever way to section off rooms, providing privacy for a sleeping area or study nook. Pick a pattern that coordinates with your home décor and you will find that it really revitalizes a room.

Perfect for blooming spring flowers… Marimekko Unikko inspired glass vases via Titania.
