Wallsmiths

This is an installation we did for Bang Bang Vietnamese Canteen. A Young, hip and cool canteen style estaurant on Warren Street in London.

They wanted something that would appeal to their target crowd so we went for these retro comic book inspired prints.

Can office design encourage good behaviour?

Wallsmiths are not just about wall coverings and beautiful interiors.
We understand and are passionate about the difference interior design decisions can have on mood, well being and behaviour.

This holds true where it comes to office design. We not only focus on what looks good but on how to influence employee behaviours through the design of space and colours.

Whatever behaviours would you like to see in your office?

Today is World Interiors Day.
This day is recognised around the world throughout the entire month of May, and officially recognised this year on Saturday, 28 May 2022. It is a celebration of all things 'interior'. Why not unleash your inner 'interior designer' and give your home a revamp!
A feature wall is a great way to add a little 'something'.

It's the Weekend and it's Whiskey Day!

One of the most common forms of whisky that is sought after is Irish Whisky, and perhaps appropriately so. The origins of the word Whisky can be found in the Gaelic Language. It translates to 'water of life '.

Do you prefer your whiskey on the rocks or perhaps a 'whiskey sour?'

This is an installation we did for Tampopo in Manchester with scenes from traditional markets in Japan. Why not head there this Weekend and indulge in a whiskey cocktail?!

Did you know today is Drawing Day?

A day for us to express ourselves and be creative. Are you looking at your home or office space and wondering what you can do with it?

There are endless possibilities when it comes to wallpaper! You can even have a map of your town or city as a mural.

Why not let your imagination run wild?!

Today is World Cocktail Day!

This day is a global celebration of cocktails. It marks the publication date of the first definition of a cocktail on May 13 in 1806. The New York tabloid 'The Balance' and Columbian Repository defined a cocktail as "a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters. A world away from some of the amazing concoctions that today's mixologists invent!

This is a bespoke mural we did for the Servisair lounge at Gatwick airport.
Do you indulge in a cocktail before you fly to get in that holiday vibe?

Why wallpaper?

It has been referred to as “clothes for walls” by top designers in the industry. That is because it allows you to create a unique ambiance in your home that no other wall finish can accomplish. The year 2022 will offer a wide selection of wallpaper choices that range from traditional floral patterns to modern art deco designs. Today’s wallpaper patterns can be mellow and subdued or bold and dramatic.

Why not take a look at the latest trends for S/S 22' in the wallpaper world.

It's the weekend!!

What are your plans? Fancy doing a bit of DIY? Things are tight at the minute with the rising cost of just about everything, but doing up a room doesn't have to cost a fortune!

A quick and affordable way to revamp a room is to create a feature wall that draws the eye in. Always a go-to for interior designers, accent walls command attention and give even smaller rooms that little something!

If you like a bolder print, wallpaper or stencils could be the way to go for your accent wall. Using this technique on just one wall will help to keep the cost down, as well as choose a design that will go with your existing decor.

What will you go for?

At Wallsmiths, wallpaper is our thing!

While regular wallpaper adds wall longevity and durability, custom wallpaper lets customers add a personal touch to their wall space. There are endless posibilities when it comes to designing your space, whether at home or your office but have you considered a map wall covering? These designs are great if you want to add a local touch, particularly to a cafe or restaurant.

We design our maps in conjunction with and recently attended the VM & display show to showcase some of our work.

In November 1956, LIFE magazine published an article with the deceptively lighthearted title, “Animals Make a Hospital Happy.”

This is an installation we did for The Royal Marsden Children's Hospital. They wanted something bright and fun for the children to enjoy. Animals are always a great idea when it comes to children. This will always be one of our favourite pieces of work to date.

If you’re looking for interior design ideas on a budget, crafting projects can save you a significant amount of money.

Not only that – making your own designs will ensure your home interiors are packed with personality that’s all you, too.

This could be something as simple as picking out some printed wallpaper or posters and putting them into funky frames to create an eye-catching piece of artwork.

Or why not give old furniture pieces a new lease of life with some fresh paintwork? This works brilliantly with dining chairs, tables, shelves and so much more.

The trick here is to know your limitations to ensure you’re not going to end up with a less than the satisfactory result and waste money in the process.

But more importantly, making your own bespoke pieces should be fun, so let your imagination run wild.

Add some luxury to your bedroom.
Looking for simple bedroom design ideas that will add glamour and style to your bedroom without hurting coziness?
Decorate a wall with silk or satin wallpaper.

Yes, silk and satin wallpapers. With their shimmery, exquisite look, they are an excellent choice in terms of bedroom decoration. The colors and the prints are your choice, obviously, and must be coordinated with the rest of your bedroom. However, remember it’s a bedroom and it needs to be peaceful and tranquil, so try to stay away from very bold, very busy wallpapers.

Wallsmiths is the perfect partner for reinventing a home, office or commercial space. Wallpaper has seen a huge rise in popularity over the last few years and it's easy to see why.

It's great to be exhibiting again!

After what seems like an eternity, we are now able to showcase our work at various exhibitions. This week we are at the VM Show in Islington. The show hosts world changing thinkers and innovators all under one roof. This is the most important event in the visual merchandising calendar and is where Retailers, VM Directors, Store Planners, Creative Directors, Procurement Teams, Visual Merchandising Managers and their teams can update their knowledge, network and be inspired.

The VM and Display Show is the longest running exhibition for the industry so it's great that we can be a part of it.

Come and see us!

The home office became a necessity for many of us. Along with that came the struggle of creating a video-worthy home office background.

Creating a well-put-together, clutter free background for your home office will not only improve your energy and efficiency but will also have you looking professional on-screen.

Here are some Home Office Background Decor Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s: Diplomas, Maps, Tasteful Art, Plants

You’ll want to display items that have a connection to your work, so diplomas, certificates, and similar items are great to stay in the background. Maps and art also fit the scene, as well as bookshelves and plants.

Don’t: Sports Memorabilia, Overly Busy Prints

Don’t clutter the scene with décor. Many small souvenirs and details, might be charming in your personal life, but still are not such a good idea in a home office. Also, excess stuff creates chaos where you need it the least. Think of a purpose and remove anything that doesn’t have one.

A quick and affordable way to revamp any room is to create a focal feature wall that draws the eye in. A long-standing go-to for interior designers, accent walls command attention and give even the smallest of rooms added gravitas.

If you prefer bold prints, wallpaper or stencils could be the way to go for your accent wall. Using this technique on just one wall will help to keep the cost down, as well as choose a design that will go with your existing decor.

What effect can wallpaper have in a home office?

Like colour, pattern can help distinguish the character of a room and can affect our mood, creativity and focus levels.

For example, wallpaper featuring trees, leaves, or flowers can have similar affects to spending time outside, but to a lesser effect,

A concrete pattern will make the room appear more contemporary and industrial.

A floral pattern may make the room look more elegant and feminine.

Instead of coming to us with a colour theme, let us know how you want to feel while in a room, and we will advise on the colours and textures to achieve the mood you desire.

Since 1994 the whole month of March has been dedicated to crafts of all kinds, large or small. Wallpaper is a key tool for crafting your home or office and is now more popular than it has been for years. With so many trends to choose from you certainly won't run out of ideas!!
Wallpaper on the ceiling?!!
Don’t underestimate the power of wallpaper on the ceiling, designer Leah Alexander urges. “Wallpaper on the ceiling is a great way to mirror texture and contrast in a large area rug. It also typically requires a lot less paper than covering four walls of a room.”
The possibilities are endless!

March is national craft month. What a better time then to start thinking about redecorating and getting crafty with your ideas?
Wallpaper is a key trend for 2022 and the insatiable appetite from consumers doesn't look like abating any time soon. Whatever your taste, there are wallpaper ideas for everyone, from traditional florals and trompe l'oeil, to contemporary geometric and tropical patterns or animal motifs and architectural designs.
You can literally go wild!
What trend will you choose?

“A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory…” – Albert Einstein

Today is world bartender day...but when did it start?

Celebrating the creative genius and talents of those important people tending bars all across the globe, World Bartender Day was created in recent years. It seems to have started with a cocktail competition that happens in Australia and New Zealand, called The Perfect Blend. Since its creation, the day has only gotten more popular and the impact has grown like wildfire all over the world.

Cocktail anyone?

Spring will soon be upon us.....and with it brings new, fresh ideas for your home or office.
One word key trend is biophilia. The term that no one really knew about until about a year ago is now widely used to describe interior design that is inspired by nature and borrows from nature to create a harmonious interior space. Wallpaper designs have followed suit.

Biophilic wallpapers don't have to be all dainty and elegant. Combine the soft, organic shape of leaves, with hard, angular geometric shapes for a dynamic spin on fauna and flora.

What new S/S 2022 trend will you decide on?
