Newmor: Welwyn Grange Care Home a Home from Home

Welwyn Grange challenges most people’s expectations of what a Residential Home offers. This family-owned new build care home is designed to be both ‘fit for purpose’ but also be ‘a home form home’ for its residents. The home is made up of individual households of no more than 16 ensuite bedrooms, each having their own air-conditioned lounge and dining areas, as well as access to facilities including a hair salon, private dining room and cinema room.

Hiedi Lazenby Design was commissioned to deliver the architectural interior design scheme for this luxury 104 bed new-build care facility and briefed to include the highest standards of dementia design with the needs of residents, visitors and staff at the forefront.

She said:

“Key elements of the design brief included the owners desire to reflect both high-end luxury and a homely look and feel. I was tasked to design multiple and innovative communal areas, to enhance residents’ well-being and their quality of life.

“I incorporated the latest and best practice in ‘dementia design’ when looking at the overall space planning and interior schemes. Ensuring the design reflected how residents might better interact with their visitors and of the well-being of staff. I love what we have created, and I’m delighted we are an SBID International Design Awards 2024 finalist.”

Welwyn Grange is an amazing, life affirming place to live. Selecting the right products was central to creating the overall look and feel of this beautiful and unique facility. Newmor Wallcoverings are used extensively throughout the project. Known for their contract specification performance, Newmor designs are specified in hotels all over the world, so were the perfect choice for this luxury high end Residential Home.

Rose Campbell, Head of Design and Marketing at Newmor said:

“It’s a real pleasure to be involved in such a wonderful project, setting such a high standard in healthcare design. As Welwyn Grange, we’re also a family-owned business making all our wallcoverings in our factory in Welshpool and were delighted that Hiedi selected so many of our designs. Creating beautiful and versatile wallcovering that our customers can rely on is what we do best. We’re firm believers that great design can elevate and enhance any space but more importantly have a positive effect on the way people feel while they’re using it. Welwyn Grange is a great example of that!”

Hiedi Lazenby added:

“It’s great to be able to work with British brands who place colour, design and performance at the heart of what they do. I was able to select from Newmor’s extensive stocked collections in complete confidence, knowing that they would enhance the aesthetic of the final project”.
