Newmor Wallcoverings has provided a series of wallcoverings for Kaboodle, a social and entertainment hub in the heart of Derry, Northern Ireland.
The company supplied three bespoke designs, created by the artist and designer Carrie Neely, and four designs from its existing collections.
Designed as a one-stop venue for food, drinks, and games, Kaboodle brings karaoke, shuffleboard, nine-hole mini-golf, darts, and digital clay pigeon shooting together under one roof.
The wallcoverings support spatial zoning, and the visual storytelling works hand in hand with the physical activities.
Kaboodle’s owner, Brendan Duddy, said: ‘Newmor’s can-do approach and UK manufacturing base allowed us to realise the vision we had for Kaboodle at very short notice. The wallcovering designs are instrumental in zoning spaces and creating the right vibe for each unique area.’
Newmor’s agent, Justin Vaughan of In-Spec, said: ‘The finished project consisted of three of Carrie’s bespoke designs, two existing Newmor Digital designs – Vintage Verdure and Marble Tiles – and two Newmor stocked designs, Panthera and Java. Kaboodle has easily been the most fun and exciting hotel project I have worked on to date.’
Neely added: ‘Kaboodle was an extreme turnaround project, but I love a creative challenge, especially with such a fun project. Justin Vaughan, who represents Newmor in Ireland, approached me for the bespoke design work as he was looking for something a bit different for this project, and Newmor produced the murals, also with a super tight turnaround. I think everyone worked really well together on Kaboodle to make sure the client was happy, and the project looked incredible.’
