Eco-friendly Wallpaper goes Mod


Many traditional wall coverings often use PVC, a harmful and toxic material (VOC)that has been known to off-gas into the air. Buying toxin-free textiles is an important health consideration that can’t be ignored, especially for homes with infants or people who suffer from respiratory illnesses. One company, Mod Green Pod was founded by Lisa and Nancy Mims as a means to offer safer and fashionable alternatives to conventional textile prints. Their products are not just graphically gorgeous, but completely green too. They are completely free of vinyl, and use water-based inks on 100% certified organic cotton-based fabric.

In addition to these wonderfully playful yet sophisticated wallpapers, Mod Green Pod offers organic, eco-friendly fabrics in coordinating patterns and colors.

Glowing Light Wallpaper



Swedish designer Camilla Diedrich has imagined lighting our homes with glowing wallpaper rather than having to rely on electric lights, and created a stunning line of luminescent wallpaper. Her Nature Ray Charles Wallpaper (available in 8 colorways)features floral motifs that shine through in delicate lines using fiber optics, adding a touch of energy-efficient ambiance to any room.

"With the bold, light-drenched Nature Ray Charles wallpaper series, Diedrich’s goal was to inject an intrinsic luminance using a single colour….’searching for light without light’
This visually striking wallpaper brings nature home and is the result of Diedrich’s efforts in repeating patterns of vaguely organic forms, which are cast in vibrant hues and resemble some sort of luminous deep-sea invertebrate. The result is simply breathtaking."
