Kirkby Design wallpaper

Kirkby Design wallpaper was launched in September 2009 as part of The Romo Group, the British family business from Nottinghamshire that has been active in exclusive fabrics and wall coverings since 1902. From the very start, Kirkby Design chose a contemporary, bold signature: striking graphic designs, refined patterns and modern textures in a progressive colour palette. That makes Kirkby Design wallpaper instantly recognisable to anyone who has an interior with character and daring in mind.

The story behind Kirkby Design wallpaper

Kirkby Design is one of six brands within The Romo Group, alongside the likes of Romo and Villa Nova. While Romo traces its roots back to a furniture-making workshop that Robert Mould founded in Nottingham in 1902, Kirkby Design deliberately chose a more modern, contemporary direction. The brand began as a collection of high-performance fabrics and grew into a fully fledged house for wall coverings and accessories. Kirkby Design wallpaper still carries that design ambition: every pattern tells its own story and dares to stand out.

Materials and look of Kirkby Design wallpaper

With Kirkby Design wallpaper, it is all about texture and experience. The brand plays with relief, matt and metallic, flock effects and graphic lines, so that a wall gains not just colour but depth as well. For its more recent wall coverings, Kirkby Design opts for a more sustainable base: Wallcoverings Vol. 2 is printed on a substrate of FSC-certified wood pulp and corn fibre, which according to the brand releases around 30% less greenhouse gas than traditional vinyl or paper wallpaper. In this way, Kirkby Design wallpaper combines a rich, tactile appearance with a more responsible production.

Signature Kirkby Design wallpaper collections

The current lines clearly show what the brand stands for. A few distinctive collections to start with:

• Wallcoverings Vol. 2 by Kirkby Design — the most recent line, with painterly geometry, contemporary flock and refined metallics on a more sustainable substrate.
• Wallcoverings Vol. 1 by Kirkby Design — the first wallpaper line that firmly established the brand identity, with large-scale geometry and hand-painted effects.
• Kirkby Design x Eley Kishimoto Edition II Wallcoverings — a bold collaboration with London fashion label Eley Kishimoto, featuring the iconic Flash pattern in a contemporary colour palette.

The collaboration with Eley Kishimoto, known in the fashion world as masters of the print, translates textile prints into wall coverings with a recognisable energy that combines the confidence of the seventies with a modern twist.

Where does Kirkby Design wallpaper work best?

Thanks to its broad range of styles, from playfully graphic to quietly textural, Kirkby Design wallpaper suits almost any space. A living room gains depth and character with a rich relief print, while a bedroom or home office comes to life with a subtler play of colour or line. In a hallway or stairwell, the bolder patterns make an immediate impression. Want to carry the look through? Pair the wall covering with matching Kirkby Design cushions for a cohesive whole.

Hanging and maintaining Kirkby Design wallpaper

Wallpaper with texture or relief calls for careful application. So order a sample first, so you can assess the colour and texture in your own lighting conditions before you decide. Know which design you want? Then use the wallpaper calculator to work out exactly how many rolls you need. For Kirkby Design wallpaper with a pronounced texture, we recommend engaging a professional wallpaper hanger for a flawless result, so that the seams and the pattern align perfectly.
