My eco pledge

Every part of how I make things is something I think about carefully — not just plant a tree and call it done.

I make everything to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting to be bought: each roll of wallpaper, each length of fabric, each print is made once you've ordered it, so I'm never guessing at demand or throwing away stock that never sold. It's slower, but it means nothing I make ends up as landfill before it's even found a home.

The materials matter just as much. My paper is FSC-certified, so I know the wood behind it is grown and harvested responsibly, and everything is printed with non-toxic, high-pigment ink — kinder for the air in your home, and for the people who work with it day to day. Kate Walton Collections is also a fully vegan brand: nothing I use, from the ink to the finishing, never knowingly comes from an animal.

Everything is designed and printed here in the UK, which keeps the footprint of getting it to you as small as I can make it, and means I'm backing British manufacturing rather than shipping things halfway around the world.

And then there are the trees. Through my partnership with Ecologi, we plant one together with every single order — your purchase, my pledge, one tree at a time. You can see the running total below, and it's still climbing.

None of this is box-ticking. It's just how I think a small business should work — make things properly, make them to last, and make sure the planet isn't picking up the bill.
