The Story Of 1Wall

1Wall has been a market-leading manufacturer and retailer of artwork and wall coverings since 2012; and it’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

1Wall was founded in 2012 by Scott and Gavin (two brothers from Blackpool, Lancashire); one brought a wealth of knowledge in interiors and retail with a customer-centric approach, whilst the other had a keen eye for design and the ability to anticipate the next big trend. They wanted to reinvent the wall coverings market and make home decoration a hassle-free, fun process. With their complementary skill sets, they were a winning combination and 1Wall was born!

To begin with, 1Wall did exactly what it says on the tin; it offered wall coverings for ‘1 wall’ in the form of our fabulous wallpaper murals – many of which you can still see on the site today!

As the years have gone on, and as 1Wall’s manufacturing power has increased, the company has expanded its offering to include a vast range of beautiful framed artwork; all made with love from its studio in Blackpool. 1Wall now specialises in stunning liquid art, however, the wall murals that established the brand in its early days are still available to purchase.

The team are lucky to work with a variety of different artists; several of whom work with 1Wall on an exclusive basis. The designers work tirelessly to create designs that are ahead of the trends and that cater to a wide range of tastes. Our signature liquid art is then applied to their designs; which makes each piece unique and truly stunning.

As the brand continues to evolve and go from strength to strength, there is one thing that will always remain a constant; the passion of the 1Wall team:

Passion to create market-leading, stunning framed artwork.
Passion to provide affordable luxury to our customers; without ever compromising on quality.
Passion to be the very best at what we do – all from our UK base.
