MeyStyle: Illuminating Walls, Crafting Experiences

At Sklar Furnishings, we think a living space is more than just furniture; it’s also about the tales your walls tell. That’s why we’ve teamed up with MeyStyle, a brand that doesn’t just cover walls; it turns them into living canvases.

Founded by the sisters Maria and Ekaterina, MeyStyle’s journey began with a mission — to rescue walls from the background and make them an integral part of the interiors. Their innovative approach involves integrating bold patterns with LEDs and Swarovski crystals, creating an immersive visual experience that transcends traditional wallpaper.

The Innovative Spark

MeyStyle’s story is as distinctive as its creations. LED wallpaper, now a signature feature in the wallpapers, began as the MA degree project of Maria and Ekaterina. This commitment to innovation defines MeyStyle’s essence.

For MeyStyle, creativity isn’t a product; it’s an ongoing process that has resulted in an array of designs, patterns, and technologies that breathe new life into interior spaces.

Hand-Painted Masterpieces

The careful artistry at MeyStyle is apparent in their unique pieces. Each design is a genuine expression of the creators’ vision. Hand-painted wallpapers, each a unique masterpiece, can be customized — more gold or more silver can be added in, tailored to your preferences. In their Milan showcase, MeyStyle unveiled a new design featuring hand-beaded crystals, a testament to their commitment to pushing boundaries.

Beyond these one-off creations, MeyStyle also offers a second line, YY-Shop, featuring premade wallpapers. While you might not get to choose or adjust, the quicker process ensures that every roll of wallpaper is a piece of timeless luxury, printed and hand-finished in their London studio using the finest eco-friendly materials.

Eco-Friendly Approach

MeyStyle’s dedication to sustainability is evident not just in their materials but also in their production process. In their natural, sunlight-filled environment, they take pride in producing no more than one bin bag of waste every week, emphasizing their commitment to a greener future.
