Wall Art Latest Trends Summer 2026

BLOG 22 SEP 2026

Summer 2026 was busy!

And now we’re delighted to share a sneak peek into what we’ve been working on throughout the summer holidays.

These case studies represent the Wall Art trends we’re seeing across schools in the UK, Middle East and beyond. Timelines, Values walls and Curriculum led features are all popular choices for schools.

As always, nature featured heavily, as a backdrop for designs like this Curriculum and Values wall for Greensted Primary School. Nature also featured as a core focus in a sustainability design for St Michael’s Catholic School.

In the Middle East, we completed projects for prominent schools like Safa British School and Dubai Schools Al Barsha.

Read on to find out more about the latest trends we saw in Summer 2026.

Values Walls

In Summer 2026, we saw great demand for Values Wall Art.

The schools we worked with each had a unique vision about what they wanted to achieve. As always, we guided each school through our process, helping them create and refine their brief. Our design team then worked with each brief to create bespoke artwork.

Greensted Primary School used nature as a backdrop for their Values and Curriculum wall.

The goal of this project was varied. Firstly, the school wanted to share and reinforce their values. These principles build a sense of pride and identity, and help pupils understand what’s expected of them. Another goal was to emphasise the importance of the school’s curriculum. Combining these two elements into a single design provides positive visual cues to pupils as they walk the corridors each day. The school was keen to harness the wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature. So they also opted for a nature-based backdrop to the design.

Timelines

Godmanchester Community Academy in Huntingdon used their stairwells to promote active learning. We designed a history Timeline to transform the stairs.

Against an engaging visual backdrop, the timeline tracks the course of history. From the earliest beginnings to present day, we included key dates, eras and events. So pupils can literally walk alongside history and engage with the content at their own pace. We featured a wide range of people, landmarks, dates and events within this bespoke timeline design. This means that pupils can see people and events they connect with. And, it reflects the diverse community within the school.

Curriculum and careers

We created bespoke Wall Art to transform an area of Silverstone UTC. The design features destinations and careers that students can consider beyond their education at the college. We created a large visual map to plot potential destinations that are possible through the college’s curriculum. And we showcased a range of potential careers students could embark on, across multiple disciplines.

The branded design uses the college’s red and blue colour palette. As well as the walls, we also created a ‘Pit Lane’ inspired artwork for the doors. This creates a cohesive and professional look for the space. And it’s sure to inspire the next generation of STEM-skilled students.

Maps

Always a popular choice, we enjoyed working on some large world maps throughout the summer. In particular, this World Food Map for Queens Park Academy.

The Wall Art design celebrates foods from around the world. And it includes the school’s values, reminding pupils to “Be Kind, be safe, be ready”. Located in the school hall, this vibrant design attracts attention and creates a visual focal point for the space. As a busy communal area, it’s the perfect spot for Wall Art. And we loved bringing the design to life on the school’s walls.

I just wanted to say that we are very happy with the Wall Art on both our sites! They look great and really make the halls feel warmer and more welcoming!
