Newark, NJ – Rich alligator skins, burnished leather designs, layered painted patterns, and classic damasks can be found in Thibaut’s new Texture Resource Vol. 2. These new performance wallcoverings offer a luxurious look with tactile detail and resonant colors, ranging from spicy earth tones and sumptuous browns to fresh blues and aquas. They resist common household stains, provide high-performance durability, and are ideal for family rooms, foyers and hallways, mudrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.

Linen-textured vinyl embossing in “Parisian Damask” gives the feel and illusion of a fabric, while offering exceptional stain-resistance. The design is offered in 12 colorways, including soft aqua, yellow, and elegant combinations of metallic on brown, olive, rust, black, and blue. A delicate, dimensional grasscloth pattern in “Anguilla Weave” stands up to wear and tear and offers outstanding stain- and scuff-resistance. This design also comes in a variety of neutral earthy beiges, browns and greens.

Imprinted with a lizard-skin pattern, “Brazil” has a delightful exotic look that’s easily maintained with a little soap and water. Burnt orange, aqua, pool blue, celadon, and mocha are some of the more striking colors for this design. “Alligator” and “Montana Leather” impart lasting appeal with hard-wearing vinyl embossing. Both feature rich splendid browns and camel tones. “Alligator” also comes in a cool ice blue, and “Montana Leather” comes in a deep burgundy.

Sintra,” embossed with a water color damask print, provides traditional beauty while sustaining splashes and scrubbing. “Christopher Stripe,” another resilient, textural design, has a soft, linen-like appearance. Stylized floral medallions give “Michelle” a striking, upscale arts and crafts look. The vinyl backing provides a sensible, cleanable surface. The color palette for these designs includes soft, neutral tones as well as brighter hues of green, coral, blue and aqua.
