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.

Resource Vol. 2” and
