LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Family printing business PicMe unveiled its online store this week. Their flagship product is the original "Multi-Pic Wall Mural," a self-sticking collage of square, Instagram-style photos giving consumers a stylish, DIY display option for their photography and a hassle-free alternative to wallpaper.
Designed with the user in mind, PicMe murals feature:
- Removable and re-positionable fabric for foolproof installation.
- 2 foot-wide panels (60cm) with 12 height options and a white border making lining up easy.
- Simply peel panels from their backing and apply. Creases, air bubbles and misalignments are easily corrected by removing and re-sticking.
- Unlike wallpaper, murals don't leave a sticky residue, making them ideal for renters.
PicMe's transformative wall murals are a fresh entry into the home decor market, a $65.2 billion a year industry in the US alone, according to Forbes.com. Add to this the continuing trend of customization, bolstered by an unprecedented spike in smart phone photography – Instagram now has 300 million users – and founder Steve Chapple sees a perfect storm for his products.
"Everybody is taking photos, but few people are actually putting them on their own wall," says Chapple, "PicMe Wall Murals allow customers to do this in the most impactful way. Integrating your own photos into your decor makes a big statement."
Los Angeles designers and media creatives have already taken notice. Filmmaking team Megan Raney-Aarons and Colin Gray installed a Multi-Pic Wall Mural at GRAiNEY PICTURES, their Venice Beach production studio. Says Megan, "The custom PicMe wall has radically changed our office. It's where your eye is drawn upon entering. There isn't a person who's entered our office since the PicMe wall was added, who hasn't rushed over to stare and gush." Award-winning commercial designer Mark Sparrowhawk also sees mass potential, remarking, "I've seen the future…and it consists of lots of small pictures arranged in a grid on your wall!"
Additional products from PicMe.com include the Single Pic Wall Mural -- one photo blown up to fill an entire covering. There is also an Artist Gallery, with a library of exciting, ready-made images from notable photographers and illustrators in the pipeline. Applications for the murals are numerous including college dorms, film sets, children's rooms, commercial spaces like hotels, salons and showrooms, refrigerators and furniture.
PicMe has sites for the US, UK and Australia, with free worldwide shipping. A 10 ft by 8 ft Multi-Pic Wall Mural runs $600 USD (or £390 GBP/$768 AUD). To kick off the launch, PicMe is offering an introductory 20% discount through March 31, 2015. Simply enter "launch20" at checkout. Tailored discount codes are available to select media outlets.
