Newark, NJ – Thibaut unveils the Gatehouse Collection, filled with traditional designs in a vibrant new palette with charming English appeal. Birds, butterflies and vibrant flowers create the impression of a lush English garden vista. Fresh shades of raspberry, fern, lemon yellow and purple haze accentuate the embroideries and watercolor techniques in this beautifully crafted collection.

A Chinoiserie floral, Newman is an elegant, branching design with birds and butterflies floating throughout time and space. Coordinated fabrics of Leon and Cardiff are the perfect, simple accent pieces for this very detailed pattern.

A classic nod to latticework, London Trellis climbs up the walls along understated but rich textured paper. The bold colors and metallics of the trellis scrolls contrast with the slightly striated background, creating a thoroughly modern repeat. To complete a serene space, Dominique Fabric was designed to be ethereal, inviting the sunlight in.

Modern yet simple Nathaniel wallpaper features a fluid print of tiny white dots accented with light and dark shades of pinstriped pastels. With the muted canvas of Nathaniel, the printed fabric Edgartown Fabric is a showstopper of great scale. The vividly colored floral print of brilliant peonies, orchids, straw flowers, cana lily and fritillaria will enliven a design portfolio.

Taken from the garden gates of London, Barrowgate is a stylized trellis design with subtle textural effects. This dimensional effect provides an air of mystery to this pattern, as complimentary colors create depth. Ikat Check fabrics give the room rustic country flair.

Botanical drawings of flowers and blooms float gracefully in Brookfield, printed on non-woven paper for a highly-textured and fibrous appearance. The bold colors and burnished metallic sketch create a perfect venue for the butterflies and blooms throughout.

Gemlike dyes and sweeping fleur de Lis motifs transform the traditional yet fashionable Owensboro pattern. The soft damask print is highlighted by pearlized flourishes that create depth and movement.

Foxes and squirrels roam about in the painterly Westchester pattern. The playful pattern features florals, fruit and fauna existing together, brought to life by the sweeping watercolor-like brush strokes.

Early signs of spring are captured in April, with silhouettes of buds, birds and butterflies floating across the fibrous non-woven paper. The chenille Kenley Stripe fabric will add a soft touch of interest to any coordinated accent pillow or chair.

Julie Damask is a simplified damask design with a Scandinavian twist and weathered texturing. The luxurious appearance is further enriched by vivid complimentary colors with accent shimmers.

Endearing Augustine, a reinterpretation of a historic print, features sweet, colorful hummingbirds perched happily on fern-like branches creates colorful bursts. This classic print is still bright and lively, invigorating every space.

Pomegranate is 100% cotton embroidery from India whose shape is inspired by the mythical fruit, creating a perfect pairing with all of the collection print.
