With around 2 million visitors each year, Center Parcs is the leading destination for high quality short breaks in the UK. Each of its 5 villages is set in forest surroundings, typically 400 acres in size. Woburn Forest, the latest addition opened in June 2014, winning Best Hotel and Tourism Resort at the MIPIM Awards in 2015.The excellent guest feedback scores and consistently high levels of returning guests is a reflection of the investment in ensuring high quality accommodation and facilities, which cater for the most discerning of families.

So, when it comes to wallcovering it’s essential that not only does the colour and design work, but also that it can withstand high numbers of visiting families and still look welcoming. Newmor digitally printed each panel on a non-woven graphite base with UV cured inks, delivering outstanding durability. Everything was printed to specific wall sizes and locations to allow easy installation and a perfect backdrop for guests. Newmor Wallcoverings is delighted to have supplied all five Center Parc villages.

Dave Cope, Surveying Director at Johns of Nottingham Limited explains what it takes to undertake the decoration of an award winning destination, ‘we are proud to have carried out the decoration works to the new Four Bedroom Exclusive Lodges situated on the fabulous Center Parcs Woburn Forest development. The works presented quite a considerable challenge due to the tight programme period allocated to painting and decorating to the highest 5 star standard. The scheme incorporated both bright & invigorating and muted & soothing colour palettes, with stunning digitally printed wallcoverings of varying designs, all completed on time to achieve the eagerly awaited opening of the Village.’

Newmor supplied over 1000sqm of the birch tree design in two colourways as pictured, a perfect backdrop to a family break in one of the UK’s most loved destinations.
