Thibaut wallpaper

Thibaut is a name American interiors already know: founded in 1886 by a 29-year-old Richard E. Thibaut on Madison Avenue in New York, it is the oldest wallpaper house in the United States. Nearly 140 years of design history sit behind every pattern, and you recognize that layered tradition immediately in every Thibaut wallpaper — lush botanical prints, refined chinoiserie and the timeless charm of woven textures.

How Thibaut wallpaper unites heritage and innovation in one brand

What makes this brand so distinctive is the balance between classic design traditions and fresh innovation. The design repertoire ranges from historical reproductions, toile and chinoiserie to tropical and playful motifs. Damask patterns sit alongside jungle silhouettes and quiet geometry, always with a color sense that is unmistakably Thibaut's own. The designs originate in the brand's own studios, which is why a Thibaut wallpaper is never detached from its era yet never simply blends in. Over the years Thibaut grew from a pure wallpaper maker into a complete design house with fabrics, and with the acquisitions of British house Anna French (2007) and Italian textile brand Coraggio (2022) its signature grew broader still.

Materials and look of wallpaper by Thibaut

The use of materials is as rich as the pattern library. Many designs come on supple, project-ready wallpaper, while the grasscloth lines are all about natural, tactile presence: a woven texture that gives a wall depth and warmth. That natural look brings calm to a room without ever falling flat. A major advantage of wallpaper by Thibaut is that many collections also exist as fabric, so drapes, upholstery and pillows can be matched seamlessly to the wall for a considered, finished interior.

The range is broad; these collections give a good sense of the signature:

Thibaut wallpaper in your interior: where it works

The grasscloth textures are a natural fit for a hallway or home office, where the material sets the mood instantly without taking over. Botanical and tropical designs work well as an accent wall in a living room or bedroom: pair them with wooden furniture and linen drapes for a space that feels like a refined hotel suite. Not sure which design suits your room? Look at the matching fabrics from the same collection too, so wall and window treatments reinforce each other rather than compete.

Applying and testing wallpaper by Thibaut

Always order a sample before making a final choice — colors and textures read differently on a screen than in real life. You can easily work out how much you need with the wallpaper calculator. If you opt for grasscloth or another natural weave, we recommend working with a professional wallpaper hanger: these materials call for specific techniques and are less forgiving when lengths have to align precisely.
