About Us

Before there were mugs, there were rugs—painted by hand, rich with color, geometry, and intention. That was Maude Décor, where founder Patricia Baun began exploring how art could step off gallery walls and become something lived with, not just looked at. Her hand-painted rugs were bold and beautiful—celebrated in Architectural Digest, Dwell, and The New York Times.

But they were also painstaking to create. Each piece required hours of focus and craft, making them out of reach for many who loved them.

That reality sparked a new idea: what if art could still carry the same soul and meet people where they live—every single day?

That’s how Maude Mugs was born.

By embracing modern print-on-demand technology, we’ve made it possible to bring contemporary design into everyday life—without the traditional costs or waste of production. It allows us to keep prices accessible, reduce our environmental footprint, and still create limited edition collections that feel personal, intentional, and artful.

Each mug is a small act of unsealing—of revealing the uniqueness that hides in the ordinary.

Art doesn’t have to be rare or untouchable.

It can live in your morning coffee, your quiet moments, and your daily rhythm.

Maude Mugs continues the same story that began with hand-painted rugs, a love of design and a belief that art should be for everyone—beautiful, useful, and lived.
