An installer's guide to Thibaut: how the papers hang, what it costs to have them put up on a northern Utah wall, the patterns people ask for most, and where to buy them.
America's oldest continuously operating wallpaper house (est. 1886, now marking 140 years). Known for traditional and transitional American prints in signature color palettes: chinoiserie, botanicals, toiles, animal prints (Tanzania), coordinated fabric-and-wallpaper collections, plus a deep Grasscloth Resource / Texture Resource program of natural-fiber and performance-vinyl textures and large-scale murals.
How you buy it. Thibaut sells to the trade, so homeowners usually order through an interior designer, a showroom or a retailer that carries the line. We can source it for you as part of a Design Session, or hang rolls you have already bought.
What it costs to buy. Approx. $130-$330 per 27 in x 9 yd double-roll bolt at retail for printed non-wovens (priced per single roll: roughly $65-$165, e.g.
