The Ink&I Story
Ink&I is a cleverly curated collection of designs, created in the heart of Cheshire, England by a team of daringly talented illustrators, artists and graphic designers.
Our luxury wallpapers, soft furnishings, home accessories, furniture and limited-edition prints will add a fabulous drama to your interior that simply cannot be found anywhere else.
We use the very best materials that have been hand-picked because we love them and we manufacture in the UK, keeping our hyper critical eye on every item that leaves us for you.
We offer a personalisation and bespoke service so if there is something you have seen that you love but that you want to tweak, well then call us for a chat, we would love to hear what you want to do.
The people behind the story
Lyndsey Markland-Clay – Owner & Creative Director
For as long as I can remember I have been a maker, an inquisitive sort with a love of well-made, beautiful things.
I was the girl waiting for my mum to finish the fairy bottle to be ready for the latest craft on Blue Peter making dens across streams with my dad and so many summers spent with my Grandad Jack, a talented artist, in his shed, learning how to make and make good and out of all of this grew a passion to create.
For the last fifteen years I’ve been running a company that creates art & interior décor for the hospitality industry, I’ve loved it and we’ve worked on some incredible projects but I’ve always had this idea, burning away, that I wanted to create an online space that I could fill with our own wonderful designs that the public could buy, so here we are…
At the heart of Ink&I is that it is a family run business, John and I have been married for ten years, we have two amazing children who can often be found doodling away in the office after school and if you call and hear a loud woof then that’s the customer service team also known as Blue & Poppy.
John Clay – Owner & Head of Design
I would class myself as a compulsive doodler, where other kids were busy burying themselves in the sand on holiday I would go off and paint landscapes for fun. I see the world in graphic terms, noticing thing others don’t and I can be a bit of a nerd when it comes to the technicals of design software. I was designing logos and brochures in my spare time after a product design degree in London when I met Lyndsey. It’s been a wild ride, designing art for hotels, cruise ships and entertainment venues around the world for the last ten years and my team and I are ready to bring that flair to the products we make for you.
Ink&I will always be true to these two things
We are not about the mass produced, every design has been hand drawn over an incredible number of hours by our own team.
We will always strive to put our customers at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you for choosing us, there are so many places you can spend your money, we are honoured you’re here with us.
