New Wallcovering Designs for November 2024 – Panthera, Java, Shagreen & Folia
Our November launch is inspired by the Sugar and Spice trend, which draws on rich global cultures. This trend promotes a grounding aesthetic and exudes warmth and creativity. With influences ranging from Moroccan souks to Balinese jungles, this collection ignites intrigue and optimism infused with a touch of exotica. A celebration of animal print, tropical foliage and rustic textures, the designs combine natural elements with metallic accents to create an elevated tactile effect. Vibrant, fiery tones like oxblood, gold and amber, balanced with the deep classic hues of bitter chocolate and umber create a multi-faceted, elegantly opulent collection.
Designed by Marcel Wanders, Kimpton BEM Budapest honours Hungarian folklore while celebrating the city’s modern vitality, featuring elegantly appointed guest rooms, three innovative gastronomic concepts, alongside bespoke experiences.
In this latest edition of our Meet The Team series, we’re excited to introduce two key members of our Digital Studio in Welshpool—Andy Sinclair and Mike Pedrini. Andy has been a cornerstone of Newmor for an incredible 48 years, working his way through various roles and making an indelible mark on the company.

Case Study: Welwyn Grange Care Home – a Home from Home
Welwyn Grange challenges most people’s expectations of what a Residential Home offers. This family-owned new build care home is designed to be both ‘fit for purpose’ but also be ‘a home from home’ for its residents. The home is made up of individual households of no more than 16 ensuite bedrooms, each having their own air-conditioned lounge and dining areas, as well as access to facilities including a hair salon, private dining room and cinema room.
Newmor are well known for promoting British design and craftsmanship – their wallcoverings are made here in the UK and specified in projects across the world. So, it came as an unexpected surprise when they were tagged on social media post by Kookiwood, a vintage furniture restorer. We caught up with MD David Johnston, to find out what got the team so super excited, he said, “It is a genuine delight to see our wallcoverings being reimagined by a true artisan. We promote artists through our designer collection, but we never expected to see our wallcoverings used in furniture restoration.”
