Our Mission is to be the definitive community-powered brand that builds decorating confidence by inspiring and supporting all decorators with their projects.
Lick is a community-powered decorating movement. We are a force for change in the home decor space with a vision to transform the industry for our decorators and for the planet.
Lick was founded in 2019 by Lucas London and Sam Bradley - both experienced startup entrepreneurs. The business has raised over $29m since inception. OMERS Ventures lead our Series A round in June 2021 with participation from existing investors Felix Capital and contributions from entrepreneurs and PE investors including Magnus Rausing, Alex Chesterman and Kathaka, the family office of Caroline Rupert of Richemont.
We’re a business that believes in building confidence in our decorators. Seeing their bright ideas and making them happen. We do this by giving our do-er uppers access to inspiration, advice and how-to guidance from our experts and wider community. As well as making our range of (water-based, low VOC) paint, (FSC-certified) wallpaper, blinds and supplies with real people and real homes in mind.
Its why we curate the colours in our product ranges, its why we have an expert team of colour consultants on-hand to help with any decorating question, big or small, its why were building a supportive community of decorators to inspire each other with their projects, and it’s why we are rethinking how technology can transform this category.
Were on a mission to transform the $1trillon global home decor category, and our sights are set on scale, this means expanding our product offering, launching new sustainability initiatives, and growing our already thriving community of home decorators across the globe.
Decorator success starts at home...our home. That is why our ambition is to be a definitive people-powered company. Building an environment where individuals thrive and collectively achieve significant results.
