Newark, NJ – Thibaut’s “Provence” wallpaper collection is a compilation of all things French Provincial. The designs, which are based on historic documents, offer a classic French country look with pastoral imagery, stylized floral patterns, gingham plaids, and delicate floral bouquets—but also include fun, whimsical novelty patterns, such as colorized etchings of hot air balloons and painterly bird nests intertwined with flowering vines. Patterns range from light and delicate to rich and robust. Bolder designs include the collection’s “Provence” pattern, featuring roosters and ducks encircled with dense foliage; “Pinot Noir,” an ornate arabesque panel design; and a handsome toile called “Avignon,” featuring sportsmen on a hunting expedition through rustic mountain terrain.

There is a mixture of petite and large-scale patterns, and designs come in an array of exciting colors—earthy hues like plum, sage, brick red, butter, khaki, and harvest gold, and more vibrant, striking combinations of deep French blue, coral pink, kiwi green, denim, and periwinkle. Fabrics accompany the designs in this collection and can be used for window treatments, table linens, pillows, slipcovers, and bedspreads.

Provence” and other Thibaut collections are available through interior designers and fine wallcovering and decorating stores. For the names of local dealers, call 800-223-0704.
