Eight reasons
Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik has a clear purpose: to preserve a legacy, secure the future of Swedish wallpaper craftsmanship, and have fun along the way. We do things differently and challenge the idea of what a factory is – and what it could be. Who we are, and what sets us apart, becomes more defined over time, simply because we hold our course.
Eight characteristics are the reasons our contribution is unique:
The Beginning
The factory, under its previous ownership, was set to close. The decision was made; the shock was real. At the last moment, two employees found the strength to take over the operation.
The Place
Wallpaper has been printed in Ulricehamn since the mid-1900s. We carry that legacy forward by keeping production alive.
The Pace
We move at our own pace – secure in the knowledge that good things take time, and that we can shift gears when needed. We have room for small, limited editions and capacity for large-scale runs.
The People
‘The human factor’ has a positive ring to it in our factory. Without skilled printers and careful hands, there would be no memorable wallpapers.
The Patterns
We’re drawn to patterns with personality and a touch of rebellion. Our wallpapers spark emotions – awe, comfort, desire. We supply the future with new icons.
The Color
In our color kitchen, each wallpaper gets its own unique and inimitable DNA. Our Color Masters create shades with brand-defining qualities.
The Print
Printing technique can make or break a pattern. We work exclusively with the former.
The Services
We want to enable more brands to include wallpaper in their range. Do you have a pattern you believe in? We can take it from there.
The Beginning
The factory, under its previous ownership, was set to close. The decision was made; the shock was real. At the last moment, two employees found the strength to take over the operation.
A handful of key people and former colleagues took the leap, and the restart gained momentum. Our foundation is built on trust and team spirit. That insider’s perspective makes a world of difference.
The Place
Wallpaper has been printed in Ulricehamn since the mid-1900s. We carry that legacy forward by keeping production alive.
The wallpapers we print find their homes all over the world – yet we’re not going anywhere. You, however, are always welcome to pop by. Over time, our factory has become a destination for anyone drawn to craftsmanship.
The Pace
We move at our own pace – secure in the knowledge that good things take time, and that we can shift gears when needed. We have room for small, limited editions and capacity for large-scale runs.
Resisting the rush is a healthy act of defiance – one that benefits our patterns, our people, and our machines in the long run. We are your sparring partner and springboard into the world of wallpaper.
The People
‘The human factor’ has a positive ring to it in our factory. Without skilled printers and careful hands, there would be no memorable wallpapers.

The Print
Printing technique can make or break a pattern. We work exclusively with the former.
Craft-printed wallpapers that invite – and withstand – touch. We offer two printing methods: stencil printing (screen printing) and surface printing. For marbled, watercolor-like effects – the first. For the look of oil painting – the latter.
The Services
We want to enable more brands to include wallpaper in their range. Do you have a pattern you believe in? We can take it from there.
We join forces – and always aim for the best outcome for your project. You’ll notice it in everything: our approach, our support, and throughout the entire production chain.
