Lick Home raises £3 million to offer ecommerce shop

 

Launched in the UK during the coronavirus lockdown, Lick Home is a direct-to-consumer home decor brand in the UK. The firm has raised £3 million in a round led by Felix Capital. The latter is a London-based VC that has previously invested in digital lifestyle platforms such as Farfetch, Peloton, goop and Deliveroo.

The brand focusses on the trend of DIY home decorating projects that have become quite popular over the last few months. As an e-commerce start-up, it hopes to “modernise the ‘dusty’ interior design market” while providing customers an easy online experience. Its e-shopping site offer clients a direct purchasing option to get paints, wallpaper and other supplies. Moreover, it has a one-to-one video consultation service that it says is “one of its most popular brand features”.

With the investment from Felix Capital, Lick Home is going to expand its product portfolio and reach new markets. According to its co-founder, Lucas London, the ultimate goal is to “completely revolutionise the category”.

Antoine Nussenbaum, co-founder at Felix Capital advanced, “The home decor universe is a massive lifestyle category where we have been observing significant changes in behaviours, all accelerated by the current Covid situation”. He said that making our home our happy place has now become a key wellness focus.
