I started designing leather wall-hangings and decorator pillows in 2002 to share my art with people who loved it, but didn't want to wear it. M.G. Ballard Home is an extension of that with an expanded list of items and the use of other textiles. Each collection centers around a piece of my art.
~Marva G. Ballard
Inspired by the people, places and fashions of the Harlem Renaissance.
African inspired items, perfect for giving a designer's touch to a gentleman's bedroom or man cave.
Inspired by people and culture of the American Indians.

Art enhances our daily experiences and your bedroom can be the next place to get an artistic makeover with natural duvet covers! Featuring my original artwork, these handmade duvet covers are composed of 100% cotton sateen fabric. Each cover is printed using a special reactive digital process. During reactive printing, fabrics go through 4 stages including steaming and washing to ensure the color is permanently locked into the fibers without affecting the feel of the fabric. Cotton sateen continually softens with use so your duvet will only get better over time. The covers have a solid white back and invisible zipper for easy care. Artwork can come in many forms and when prints are combined with high quality natural fabrics like those found in my line of duvet covers, you can live artistically everyday!
