The Eco Home is a LOVING Home

ith a love for nature and all things bright and beautiful, I decided that the world needed an eco-friendly wallpaper that was not only kind to the environment, but also pleasing to the eye. That was back in 2015 when I first launched my Amba Florette wall coverings brand. At that time, the only available offerings that were eco friendly were grass weaves that unfortunately only consisted of a few neutral muted tones - and were mostly not created by Australian wallpaper designers​. Whilst they were lovely... they didn't give the wow factor impact that I really wanted to achieve for myself and the colour loving, bold environmentally conscious homeowner.

I was a wallpaper designer on a mission... Everywhere I looked screamed beauty and colour and I went about designing my first 5 collections. 'Garden Love' ​had me collecting leaves, gumnuts and feathers from just outside my door and I smiled with such warm delight at my very first leaf wallpaper design.

​Staying true to my love of the environment, I wanted to preserve the beautiful natural colouring of the leaves that Mother Nature had so wonderfully gifted us, so sampling all of the simple colours really gave each design a true sense of authenticity. Using the native leaves really rang true to being Australian eco wallpaper... See the full range of 'Garden Love' nature inspired wall coverings.

For brighter pops of colour see the 'African Dreams', 'Contemporary Lines', and 'Days of Old' collections.​

AND NOW FOR A TOUCH OF GLAMOUR!

Now 3 years on, even though I have matured., the love for leaves and flowers still make my heart sing. My 2018 Spring collection combines imagery from leaves and flowers that I collect on my walks through nature, along with designs inspired by patterns from the Vintage and Art Deco era that I have always loved and admired. Vintage wallpaper consisting of real Australian flora imagery. A signature collection that shows everything that I love .

So why eco friendly wallpaper? does it REALLY matter what you are putting onto your walls?
ABSOLUTELY YES YES AND YES!! 

You see... not a lot of people are aware that the standard PVC based wallpapers on the market are BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. The reason for this is that they contain PVC, synthetic fire-retardents not to mention the paste that you use to hang them. They contain a high VOC content (volatile organic compounds) that emit harmful molecules into the air when the room reaches a certain temperature... and with the Australian climate being warm for most of the year, this can cause respiratory and allergic health problems. PVC has the chemical dioxin present and is something that easily escapes in the soil, groundwater and atmosphere. This is why it is important and so worth it to purchase PVC-free wallpaper and low VOC products - even though they are at a higher cost. Wouldn't you rather pay the extra to protect your family from unnecessary health issues whilst helping the world around you?

Amba Florette's FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) wall coverings are free from PVC, formaldehyde and phthalates, are flame resistant, mold and midlew resistant and have multiple environmental assurances and are GREENGUARD Children & School certified. All are printed with water based latex ink - Safe to hang in hospitals and around babies. All you need is water to activate the paper and it is also removable by adding water - simplicity!

And to not stop there, all soft furnishings are made with organic cotton canvas or organic cotton hemp. 

Showing your home the greatest of love by keeping it green, clean and beautiful!
