Discover how Newmor Wallcoverings helped transform Stockport’s glass pyramid into the stunning Royal Nawaab Pyramid, a world-class banqueting venue…
The iconic Stockport glass pyramid, locally known as the ‘7th wonder of the world’, stood empty for almost seven years before undergoing a remarkable £15M transformation. Today, it is home to the Royal Nawaab Pyramid, a spectacular banqueting and dining destination that has redefined one of the North West’s most striking architectural landmarks.
The Pyramid
The ambitious redevelopment was led by the award-winning Royal Nawaab restaurant group, working in collaboration with design specialists WDC Creative.

Spanning 86,000 square-feet, the Royal Nawaab Pyramid was envisioned as more than just a restaurant. It was designed as a true destination, capable of hosting 2,000 guests for weddings, celebrations, and fine dining on a grand scale.
The interiors reflect a balance of luxury and practicality, drawing inspiration from Royal Nawaab’s rich Indian and Pakistani culinary heritage. As Europe’s largest restaurant of its kind, the venue has already been shortlisted for the 2025 Brit List Award for Best Bar and Restaurant Design.
The role of Newmor Wallcoverings
At the heart of this transformation, Newmor Wallcoverings played a pivotal role in shaping the interior design.
The design team specified a mix of bespoke wallcoverings and stylish standard collections, chosen not only for their striking visual appeal but also for their performance qualities. In a venue designed for thousands of visitors, the wallcoverings needed to be as durable as they were elegant.

The result is a seamless blend of design-led finishes and operational practicality, creating a backdrop that enhances the Pyramid’s dramatic architecture while supporting high-capacity use.
Collaboration with WDC Creative
Jason West, Managing Director of WDC Creative, praised the collaboration: “As a trusted supplier, Newmor Wallcoverings played a key role in the Royal Nawaab Pyramid project, helping us bring our vision to life. Using both bespoke designs and stylish standard collections, they delivered with speed, agility and unwavering quality. We look forward to continuing our collaboration on future projects, both on land and at sea.”
This close partnership between designers and suppliers ensured the final result was not only visually striking but also practical for long-term operation.
A landmark
The finished Royal Nawaab Pyramid is far more than a regional venue. It represents a new standard in large-scale dining and events, combining bespoke craftsmanship, rich materials, and design innovation.

Founder Mahboob Hussain shared his thoughts on the transformation: “The WDC Creative team has done a truly phenomenal job bringing our vision to life at Royal Nawaab Pyramid. Their creativity, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the cultural and emotional atmosphere we wanted to create have surpassed all expectations. But beyond the stunning design, their dedication truly set them apart; ready to help, advise, and support at every stage. We are incredibly proud of the beautiful result; they have not just designed a space; they have crafted an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t be happier with their work.”
