Our Story: How Home Bound Custom Decor Was Born
Sumita & Anuj Patel, a husband-and-wife duo based in Atlanta, GA, and the heart behind Home Bound Custom Decor began their journey in 2019—unexpectedly, and from something as simple as a shopping trip.
While Anuj was away on a business trip, Sumita decided to refresh their home decor and bought a charming stack of hand-stamped books. When Anuj got back, he took one look and said, “I could’ve made those!” Always the crafty one, he headed to the garage, made a custom set, and showed Sumita. Just for fun, she posted a photo on Facebook Marketplace to see if anyone else might want a set. They were floored when they received 50 orders in the first week! With a $50 supply run to Michael’s and a kitchen counter turned workshop, Home Bound Custom Decor was officially born.
A year later, they invested in their very first laser engraving machine, expanding their product line beyond books to custom signs, ornaments, home decor, and more. What started as a side hustle quickly became a full-time passion.
Now, four years later, they’ve grown into a 2,000-square-foot warehouse, equipped with eight lasers and a UV printer. They have shipped custom decor across the country and have proudly processed over 20,000 orders and grown their Instagram following to close to 40,000 followers.
After three years of offering engraved products, they knew that their business was evolving. They had started building a strong B2B client base and realized that to truly bring their clients’ branding to life, they needed to offer color. That’s when they began exploring the UV printing market. After thorough research, they were instantly drawn to LogoJET—their impressive warranty, versatility across a wide range of products, and commitment to quality checked every box. From their very first conversation with the sales team, they felt heard, supported, and valued. It didn’t feel like a typical transaction—it felt like joining a family. Meeting their COO, Eric, at a trade show sealed the deal. His passion for the brand and dedication to its customers made it clear: investing in LogoJET wasn’t just a business decision—it was the right decision. Since then, their UV printer has allowed them to elevate their custom offerings and deliver vibrant, full-color designs that take their branding solutions to the next level.
Since adding color capabilities with a LogoJET UV printer, they’ve not only elevated the look of their products, but have also been able to increase their profit margins and offer premium pricing for printed items. The ability to print in full color opened up revenue streams they never had before. One of the biggest game-changers has been the ability to print UVDTF decals, which has allowed them to supply other makers and small businesses with high-quality, ready-to-use transfers. It’s been incredibly rewarding to not only grow their own business, but also to support fellow creatives and entrepreneurs as they grow theirs. What started as a solution for their branding needs has turned into an entire ecosystem of possibilities—both for them and for the community they are so proud to be a part of.
“We are incredibly proud to have taken on a brand ambassador role with LogoJET—a company we truly believe in. The journey with UV printing has transformed our business, and we are passionate about sharing what we have learned with others.”
