If you’ve ever wandered through the streets of Belfast — from the grand Victorian terraces of the Malone Road to the chic city-centre apartments — you’ll notice one thing: people here have a real love for making their homes beautiful. And nothing transforms a space quite like wallpaper.
At Nobletts Wallpaper, we’ve seen this passion up close for over 80 years. As Belfast’s leading wallpaper retailer and a fourth-generation family business, we’re proud to have helped generations of Northern Irish homes add warmth, personality, and a touch of style to their walls.
Whether you’re looking for something bold and dramatic, calm and neutral, or simply timeless, you’ll find it here — along with expert advice and that personal service only a family-run business can offer.
Wallpaper in Northern Ireland: A Design Tradition That’s Still Going Strong
Wallpaper has deep roots here in Northern Ireland. Many of Belfast’s older homes still reveal hints of patterned papers under paint layers — reminders of eras where craftsmanship and pattern reigned supreme.
At Nobletts, we’re passionate about honouring that heritage while keeping things fresh. Our Heritage & Traditional Wallpaper Collection reimagines classic damasks, florals, and stripes for today’s interiors, blending historical influence with modern colour palettes and textures.
And if your style leans more modern, our Geometric Wallpaper Collection showcases sleek designs, geometric patterns, and tactile finishes that bring walls to life — perfect for apartments, open-plan homes, or modern extensions.
Why Belfast Loves Wallpaper (and Why It Works So Well Here)
Northern Irish homes are full of character — high ceilings, deep coving, rich light — and wallpaper makes the most of it.
Here’s why wallpaper is thriving again across Belfast and beyond:
-
Texture & warmth: Our climate calls for cosy interiors, and wallpaper adds softness, pattern, and depth where plain paint can feel flat.
-
Easy updates: With modern washable and strippable wallpapers, you can refresh your home whenever your mood or the season changes.
-
Durability: Quality vinyls (like those in our Heavy Weight Vinyl Wallpaper) are hard-wearing and perfect for busy family homes.
-
Design freedom: Whether you love a maximalist look or subtle textures, wallpaper lets your personality shine.
We’ve helped thousands of Northern Irish customers find “the one” — the wallpaper that turns a room from fine to fantastic.

Practical Tips for Decorating in Northern Ireland
If you’re planning a wallpaper project, here are a few local-specific tips from our in-store experts:
-
Mind the light. Northern light can change dramatically — always test samples on your wall before committing.
-
Tackle damp properly. Belfast homes can be prone to moisture — prep your walls and choose breathable papers where needed.
-
Order extra rolls. Allow 10–15% for pattern matching and waste — we can help you calculate exactly what you’ll need.
-
Use trusted installers. We can recommend professional decorators who know how to hang wallpaper properly (and beautifully).
