Broad stripes, three and four inches across, take turn-about in alternating colors on this wallpaper. On a softly mottled background, a design of silhouetted foliage and delicate scrollwork contributes a modicum of texture. The palettes include beige with aqua and light brown, or cream with lavender, grey, and brown plus three more. Use with Magnolia Trail or Patchwork Texture to complete the look.

MAGNOLIA TRAIL

Life-size raised Magnolias, queen of flowers in the American south, trail across a mottled field with shadowy scrollwork in classic traditional design. The blossoms have a gleaming center and some of the leaves are metallic, as well. There are five multicolored variations including a combination of aqua, cream, and beige with green, brown, grey, and gold. Coordinate with Layered Stripe or Moroccan Tiles in compatible colors.

MOROCCAN TILES

At first glance one sees Arabesque tiles aligned on a sun-drenched wall in North Africa. A second look reveals softly colored wallpaper, with slight texture and pretty scrolling shadows, in a small scale pattern. The four available palettes include light green, blue, and white or beige, grey, and white. Use with Magnolia Trail or Patchwork in similar shades.

DOGWOOD

Recreating the mood of a perfect spring morning, this wallpaper features slender branches bearing life-size dogwood blossoms reaching across a textured “sky”. The backdrop is composed of hazy scrollwork and mottled, indistinct design. This Asian inspired pattern comes in seven variations including a teal, dark brown, white, beige and purple combination. Its intended coordinate is Dogwood Texture in matching hues.

DOGWOOD TEXTURE

This pretty textured wallpaper exudes peace and serenity, with mottled backdrop and delicate scrolling lines. The blended colors and indistinct design seem to cast an enchanted spell. There are seven selections including aqua, purple/grey with golden tan or cream, beige, and grey. Partner with Dogwood, available in matching palettes.

APPLE BLOSSOM TRAIL

With Asian influence, historically popular in cultured homes of the American south, this traditional wallpaper features life-size apple blossoms branching before a backdrop of lattice and filigree. The distressed appearance adds a charming antique note to the classic flowering tree design. Choose browns with cream, yellow, grey and green or aqua with browns, green, cream, and purple, among others. Its partner is Textured Collage in matching shades.

WASHY STRIPE

Like a muted rainbow after a summer shower, this soft irregular stripe transitions from shade to shade. And mimicing a watercolor, the gentle hues merge in dreamy sequence. Among the five color ways is cream with beige, light blue, soft green, pale lilac, and taupe. Use with Magnolia Trail or Moroccan Tiles.

TEXTURED COLLAGE

Layers of crisscrossed lattice and curlicue filigree mingle with intermittent haze. The result is a soft distressed design; lacy, irregular, and pleasing to the eye. There are five palettes, cream with beige or blue with cream, among them. This textured collage is colored and designed to match Apple Blossom Trail.

WATERCOLOR SCROLL

Large, open, and airy, this tasteful scrolling design has roots in Art Nouveau. The textured curving lines morph quietly as the colors change against a delicately mottled background. There are five enchanting pastel palettes such as beige, cream, pale lilac, and pale green or beige, tan, aqua, and peach. Coordinate with Washy Stripe.

JACOBEAN TRAIL

A traditional floral design, so revered in the American South, gets a make-over in beautifully refined coloration. The large scale Jacobean trailing pattern is raised above a grainy backdrop creating an embossed look and feel. There are five color ways, such as cream, beige, tan and white or gold, beige, cream, and light green. Use with Jacobean Texture and Delicate Damask.

JACOBEAN TEXTURE

With a canvas-like texture and a misty mélange of soft color, this wallpaper suggests a fabric covered wall. The indistinct pattern evokes serenity on its own and lends calmness when used with a distinct design. Choose from beige with gold or aqua with beige and cream plus three additional palettes. Combine with Jacobean Trail and Delicate Damask for a refined trio.

DELICATE DAMASK

This damask, ornate but delicate, features the customary medallions and scrolls in staggered fashion, forming a diagonal display. The traditional wallpaper design comes in bright gold with cream tracery, blue/green with beige and cream, and three additional palettes. It works beautifully with Jacobean Trail and Jacobean Texture.

PATCHWORK TEXTURE

Modest texture, thread-thin crackled lines, and wispy colors create the look of plaster walls with patina born of passing time and wear. The tranquil pattern is lovely used solo or as a complement to a more pronounced design. The six color ways include cream with pale blue/ grey or beige with tan and green. Mix and match with Moroccan Tiles or Layered Stripe.

PATCHWORK

A pretty patchwork of color and design, this lightly textured wallpaper has a charming time-worn appearance. Delicate medallions and feathery scrolls, in several hues, appear on a hazy crackled background. Among the six selections is beige, grey, and pale lilac with sage green and golden tan. Ideal coordinates include Primrose Trail and Patchwork Texture.

PRIMROSE TRAIL

Layer upon layer of delicate design combine to create a study in grace and color. The crackled background supports scrollwork shadows and trailing flowering vines in a harmonious slightly textured pattern. There are five variations such as cream, beige, pink, green and blue. Pair with Patchwork Texture or Patchwork in coordinating palettes.
