Pinterest users can now go on the application to design their “My perfect cosy bedroom” boards based on the seven most popular styles on Pinterest: Boho, Shabby chic, Classic chic, Travels, Indus hipster, Nature and Nordic.

Until 19 September 2017, participants can enhance their boards drawing inspirations from Maisons du Monde products, and the collaborative boards of five bloggers: Rue Rodier, Joli Place, Le Chien à Tâches, Clem Around the Corner and Turbulences Déco. On 20 September 2017, the jury, made up of the five bloggers, will select three finalists.

A special evening will then be held on 27 September 2017 during which they will be invited to create "live" their dream bedroom using furniture and home accessories from Maisons du Monde, at its flagship store in Paris. The winner will receive a gift voucher worth €2,500.

Only one week left to participate to the big contest “Let's create my unique and distinctive room decor”, a mini site where everyone can be an interior designer!

Just choose a room (bedroom or living room), the ambiance and colour of the walls, browse the Maisons du Monde products available on the site, and furnish and decorate your room.

Assert your style, give free rein to your inspiration and win the contest!

Once your design is complete, you are invited to post it on social media with the hashtag #MyMdM#Letscreate. Whoever gets the most “Love its” will win a gift card worth 2000€!

That’s plenty to be able to buy everything you need to decorate your home in a unique and distinctive style! This contest is running internationally in 8 countries.

The whole world is going to get in on this creative game!

The evening was launched by Anne Laure Couplet - Global Brand Director, Adrien Boyer - Country Manager France at Pinterest and François Morice - Customer Cross Channel Marketing Director

The 3 finalists, Aude, Elisabeth and Sylvie, were selected on September 20 by our panel of influencers composed of Rue Rodier, Turbulence Déco, Le Chien à Taches, Clem Around the Corner and Joli Place.

From the many Pinterest boards posted by contestants, the jury was most impressed by these three. They were in the starting blocks to create their perfect cosy bedroom “in real life”, all with a healthy dose of creativity!

During a shopping spree, they were able to choose from MDM’s entire home accessories and furniture lines to create their bedrooms in 3 different universes:

• Green
• Cocooning
• Scandinavian style

After 45 minutes of creation and 15 minutes of deliberation, it was finally Aude with her green bedroom who won the contest.

A fashionable cross channel evening where customers, fans, partners and employees celebrated creativity!

The operation, organised last September, invited our clients to create their dream bedroom on Pinterest. The bedrooms were inspired by 7 popular styles on Pinterest: bohemian, shabby chic, classic chic, holidays, hipster, nature or Nordic.

The mission of "Toutes à l’Ecole” is to offer high standard of education to the most underprivileged young girls in Cambodia so that they can eventually learn a profession and live with freedom and dignity. The Happy Chandara school is just four hours drive from our main manufacturing facility, near the border between Vietnam and Cambodia.

For 2015/2016, the school had 1160 pupils, and 100 new little girls enrol every year. A vocational training centre was also opened for the school year that started in 2013. Young girls are supported throughout their university or vocational training up to their first job. Lastly, a dormitory with a capacity for 130 pupils houses the poorest girls.

An important place is also given to personal development through sport, drawing, dance and the teaching of values. The girls can also discover the pleasures of reading, imagining, dreaming and playing at the school’s library and games facility.
At Happy Chandara, medical care is also provided for the pupils, most of whom have never been to the dentist and have rarely been vaccinated, and some suffer from malnutrition.

The association has many famous supporters, that include Claire Chazal, Anne-Claire Coudray, Sandrine Quétier and Chantal Thomass.

“Toutes à L’Ecole” has received “Don en Confiance” approval from the “Comité de la Charte”, a nonprofit organization created in 1989 by major social and humanitarian associations and foundations with a view to preserving and developing a relationship of trust with donors.
This approval constitutes a pledge of financial rigour, impartial management and transparency, with regular audits of the association’s accounts, thereby guaranteeing that donations are used appropriately.

Since several years, Maisons du Monde is making a difference to children's world by offering products that are long-lasting and by supporting child protection associations.

For this new edition, Maisons du Monde has developed a partnership with the association "Toutes à l’école" (education for girls) and supports this programme through sharing products. For the purchase of a desk from a specific range of eleven, €3 or €5 are donated for the education of young girls in Cambodia.

The capsule collection Chantal Thomass x Maisons du Monde was born from a true encounter between the impertinent and glamorous parisian fashion designer and the stylists of a brand embodying inspirational and creative designs.
Their shared goal: open the field of possibilities, play around with Maisons du Monde styles and invent a new collection that fully expresses the Fall-Winter 2018 trends.

The capsule collection Chantal Thomass x Maisons du Monde features fifty products, from furniture to decor, in true Parisian style.
Black and white, silk, satin and delicate details create an elegant, sophisticated look.
Curved furniture legs and two-tone designs create a striking look, lit up by decorative lighting.

Anne-Laure Couplet, Brand Executive Director at Maisons du Monde and the designer Chantal Thomass, were present for the occasion. They were able to talk about their beautiful collaboration: a collection available in stores and on the web since September 10th.

The new Autumn-Winter 2018 decor trends were also in the spotlight: Miss Bloom, Safari Party, Deep Velvet, Cozy Blue and Emma & John.

During this event, which took place in Milan from September 14th to 16th, there were round tables on cinema topics with famous Italian and international actors. Visitors were also able to watch films on outdoor screens, in the heart of Milan at CityLife, one of the newest and trendy area of Milan.

They also had the opportunity to visit the "Design Market place", a space dedicated to the sale of fashion, beauty and design products where they were able to buy the products displayed in by many sponsors such as Kartell , Fujifilm, Billiani and many more! Maisons du Monde donated a dozen decorative products. The profits will be donated to a charity that commits itself to create a cinema inside the Bollate prison.
