We are firm believers that a home should be a place to live, not a staged Instagram gallery. Happy homes are created slowly over time, by layering items and decorations that reflect the people who live there. Whether it's incorporating bold patterns and pops of color to bring cheer to gloomy days, or designing imaginative spaces for kids to grow and create in, our goal is to help create homes that feel deeply personal and relevant.
The story of Made of Sundays began around 2010 with a set of simple Space Invader stickers and a slightly homesick Alba (having just moved from Spain to Finland), looking to add more fun and colour to her new home.
Fast forward a few years and countless evenings discussing the lack of unique and easy-to-use home decor options (other than said Space Invaders), Alba quit her job as a UX-consultant and became a full-time entrepreneur. Together with Thomas, she started building an online shop featuring their own designs and production.
The words and colors of Made of Sundays remind us of the stress free summer days at Alba's childhood home in Costa Brava. Sunrises over the warm mediterranean mix and intertwine with the no-nonsense practical look at life in Scandinavia, creating a philosophy that reflects a down-to-earth but sunny attitude towards life, encouraging creativity and play across all ages.
From the very first day we understood that we had to find an alternative to the vinyl and polyester stickers which dominated the market at the time. It took several years, but we finally managed to take something that felt quite cheap, shiny and plastic and turn it into a product that feels much so much more warm and organic, just like traditional wallpaper.
We started with the simple idea of giving people, like ourselves, the tools to easily add a layer of fun and colour to any space. In the future we're looking to not only fill the walls but also expand outwards, creating complete and unique interiors which truly speak to their inhabitants.
