"...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."
