Our Story | 1Wall

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. With their complementary skill sets, they were a winning combination and 1Wall was born!

Started designing wallpaper murals and manufacturing from a factory in Lille, France
Distribution began from the 1Wall warehouse in Blackpool, Lancashire
1Wall attended its very first trade show in the UK; from which the brothers started supplying independent retailers
Global interest in the 1Wall brand started to build…

The company’s international presence started to grow as a result of exhibiting across Europe. 1Wall also began supplying some of the UK’s largest retailers – which was a very proud moment for the whole team! 1Wall also signed an exclusive licence to manufacture One Direction wallcoverings – which was a fantastic move guaranteed to put smiles on the f1aces of thousands of fans across the world!

1Wall reaches a milestone and becomes the UK’s biggest manufacturer of wallpaper murals (and probably the third biggest wallpaper mural supplier in the world after just two and a half years in business - wow!). The company also launched its own website, giving 1Wall a digital presence and online shop for its market-leading wallpaper murals.
