Inspired by global crafts and cultural storytelling, Newmor has unveiled four richly textured new wallcoverings…
These new designs, hot off the press from Newmor, reflect the brand’s 2025 Fair Isle trend, which is grounded in artisan values, natural textures, and the beauty of layered heritage. And as the industry looks ahead to this year’s HIX hospitality design show, which has just announced its 2025 theme as ‘Cultural Clash’, Newmor’s latest collection feels both timely and timeless.

“Each new design is rooted in craft and storytelling from around the world, reflecting how design can connect, uplift and inspire,” explained Rose Campbell, Head of Design and Marketing at Newmor. “I’m super proud of my mixed heritage; there’s no doubt that being part Jamaican, Italian and Kittitian has influenced me as a designer. I get to celebrate the richness of cultural diversity through my work, which is something that means a great deal to me.”

Newmor’s new designs explore cultural narratives through tactile surfaces and evocative palettes, offering designers tools to build meaningful, layered spaces that reflect both local and global influences.
Eri Silk originates from India, also known as peace silk, as the moths aren’t harmed in the silk collection process. It has a coarser, more rustic texture compared to traditional silk, giving it a unique look and feel. This design is the epitome of delicate detail, featuring a sophisticated horizontal texture and irregular tactile elements. Available in 20 beautiful hues from rich jewel tones of amber, ruby and deep amethyst, Eri Silk captures the raw elegance of natural fibres.

Eri Silks counterpart, Eri Stripe, features painterly lines and metallic accents, echoing the artistry of hand-painted silks. “Eri Silk is all about refined imperfection, while Eri Stripe brings a bolder rhythm. Used together or apart, they embody quiet luxury with a crafted edge,” added Campbell. Available in six colourways that coordinate with Eri Silk with accents of teal, dark chocolate and deep amethyst all featuring a subtle metallic stripe.

Named after Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica, this expressive new design reflects the island’s vibrant cultural blend. Its visual patchwork of colour, texture and history mirrors the national motto of Jamaica: ‘Out of many, one people.’ Jamaica reflects a rich tapestry of cultural influences, primarily from Africa, woven with elements from Europe, India and China, resulting in an intriguing blend.
“Savlamar is deeply personal,” Campbell shared. “It pays tribute to my father’s Jamaican heritage and the spirit of unity that runs through the island’s culture.” Available in six trend led yet weathered colours including spice, purple sea moss and ocean.

A calming, grasscloth-inspired design, Tatami draws from the centuries-old Japanese tradition. Tatami mat rooms are spaces of reflection, ceremony, and simplicity. The soft neutral palette, woven textures, and a gentle metallic glimmer embodies these characteristics, to create a warm, calming and tactile backdrop to any space.
“Tatami brings a sense of stillness to any scheme. It’s rooted in history, but so relevant for today’s hospitality spaces where guests seek calm and authenticity, available in five colours it creates a warm, calming and tactile backdrop to any space ” said Campbell.
Eri Silk, Eri Strip, and Salvamar are made with 20% recycled content. All new designs are Type II non-woven – thoughtfully created to support sustainable, expressive interior design across hospitality and commercial sectors.
“Our Fair Isle trend celebrates craft and connection, whether it’s from the UK’s most remote communities or cultures across the globe,” Campbell concluded. “Launching this collection in a year when HIX is spotlighting Cultural Clash is no coincidence. We’ve long believed that great design is born from diversity, and this collection brings that idea to life.”
