There has been a good batch of new wallpaper books hitting the market for the fall decorating season. You can see them online or at your local retailer.
The run of the mill wallpaper suppliers are suffering but the upscale products are having a heyday.
Ashford House has just been resurrected by York Wallcoverings. They now have the exclusive rights to the brand. Eisenhart previously distributed the brand but they ceased doing business in the mid 2000's.
Ashford House has always been a high quality brand. It has had a popular following. The fabric wallpaper coordination was universally praised.
York Wallcoverings has not only maintained that high standard but actually "kicked it up a notch". The first pattern in the book feels like a surface print as you run your hand over it. But the implication that it might not hold up to wear is offset by the assurance that all the patterns are scrubbable and vinyl protected.
If you can't get your hands on an actual sample book, go to the York website. This is a restricted book so you won't find it on the web except on Decorating Discount.
Another new restricted book that you need to feel to truly appreciate is Silver Leaf by Ronald Redding. Some of the patterns have the feed of glitter glued to the surface. You think they may be very small diamonds? Of course not. The prices are not that high. Just somewhat higher than the standard high quality paper.
But the thousand dollar Cypress Garden Mural is worth every penny. It is larger than a 9 by 12 rug and the way it is designed you can expand it to form a continuous room panoramic. Again, you have to feel the pattern to appreciate it. I suggest you get a sample, if you are interested in the truly top of the line mural.
Thibaut maintains the very high quality standard with the latest Strip Resource collection.
Artworks Room Service features patterns that are truly high end designs but at a more reasonable price. It is amazing how such high quality can have such high value.

Please remember that the lowest prices are at The Wallpaper Pirate but some products are restricted and only available at Decorating Discount.
Decorating Discount features products that have been restricted from being on the internet by using a password protected firewall to keep out the internet public. Getting a password is simple and quick as long as you fit into one of the categories that qualify.
Wallpaper Discount International has been around for the longest time but so many companies use "wallpaper discount" in their name, we are encouraging repeat business to go to The Wallpaper Pirate.
We have elected to display advertisements for other wallpaper online retailers. We do this because we know online shoppers will shop on line anyway. (Duh) And we know that our prices are consistently lower than those who advertise 85% off.
Wallpaper Discount International is the only online wallpaper retailer confident enough to attempt this. Of course, the competitors would call this arrogant rather than confident.
