"...a seemingly infinite number of designs - which can be customized to boot!"
"We first ordered from Spoonflower during construction of the Ajja space and quickly discovered that they offer a seemingly infinite number of designs - which can be customized to boot! I dug into the website using various keywords and flagging favorites from the results. It was so fun to discover all the options and possibilities- like the most creative and inspired game of roulette! When we found out they were based in Durham, we were delighted to support a local business."

"The wallpaper arrived before we could even get an installer on the calendar!"
"In a 2 year span where we seemed to just bounce from one construction project to another, we then found ourselves facing a tight deadline in renovating the front dining room at Ajja a month after we opened our doors. When we connected with the Spoonflower sales team, we picked out a few options and narrowed those down to one design that we asked to be customized – then we changed our color palette! Despite the change, the wallpaper arrived before we could even get an installer on the calendar."

Peck & Plume
Located inside The Mayton hotel in Cary, North Carolina, Peck & Plume is a polished yet casual restaurant offering a menu of modern American classics taking inspiration from near and far.
The owners wanted the interior of the restaurant to reflect and be inspired by the beautiful Downtown Cary Park and its avian inhabitants right outside their doors.

Inspiring Custom Collaborations
The Spoonflower team connected Peck & Plume with Hillsborough-based artist Katie Hayes who created a beautiful custom design that incorporates 11 fauna and flora species native to North Carolina.
The space features four different versions of this custom Katie Hayes design — Dark Green in the bar, Light in the dining room, and the Clay and Pine colorways in the restrooms.
