Wallpapered

Wallpapered is a wallpaper and specialist finishes company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was founded in 2012 as part of the English design house Watts & Co, and later became an independent brand. Katherine is the Creative Director and acquired Wallpapered in 2018. Andrew joined as Managing Director in 2024. The company supplies customers around the world, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Egypt, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, UAE, USA and Wales.

Wallpapered offers wallpaper in traditional non-woven, self-adhesive, and vinyl options. Its main service is custom printed wallpaper murals for homes and businesses. Wallpapered serves commercial sectors including corporate offices, estate agents, gyms and leisure centres, health and beauty, hotels and resorts, nightclubs and bars, nurseries and playrooms, restaurants and cafes, retail spaces, schools and universities.

Custom map wallpaper is the aspect homeowners and businesses mention most consistently when describing work from this Gateshead-based company. Clients across residential studies, dining rooms and commercial settings such as offices and restaurants describe requesting personalised designs, from Ordnance Survey extracts of specific locations to world maps marking travel destinations with individual place names added. Kat is named repeatedly as the point of contact, with reviewers describing patience during the design stage, particularly when specifications were detailed or unusual, such as cycling routes across the West Country.

Andrew is also mentioned as part of the team assisting with colour choices and wall layout. The finished product is consistently described as good quality and straightforward to hang, with clear instructions provided. Turnaround of around a week is noted by one client, and the results are frequently described as generating comments from visitors once installed. Commercial clients mention use in meeting rooms and agency offices to add colour and character to otherwise plain walls. The company operates from Long Rigg Road in Swalwell, serving both private homes and business premises with bespoke, personalised wallpaper design.
