New Frontier. In their newest catalog, Brocade Home is selling the wallpaper they showcase in their catalog images. This is an interesting development. Here at AT, we get a lot of questions requesting names and distributors for various wallpaper patterns seen in shelter magazines, movies, TV shows and catalogs. Brocade Home is eliminating the second step by selling it themselves — just as Pottery Barn collaborated with Benjamin Moore to sell branded paint colors a few years ago. Who's next on the wallpaper train?...
For the most part, I really like the designs used, but the shiny mirror finish of the background is an instant repellant. I'm glad they are branching out-maybe the future we'll see more of this. I'd love to see some Room and Board paper!

love the wallpaper...yes, brocade has a distinct style, however, if you look thru the gallery pages of their website, they have lots of options in tables, storage, beds, etc. that alot of people could use and mix with things they already have...

It looks like Restoration Hardware is getting off their short-lived wallpaper train. Their damask patterns are no more and the stripes are all on sale.
I keep wondering what will happen to Brocade Home once this look has been played out - I think it just about has.

Interesting that Restoration Hardware carried wallpaper (I wasn't aware) since they are the parent company to Brocade Home...

pelicona, the shiny stuff would be rockin' wrapping paper, tho!

Yeah, that flocked foil stuff is crap.
Still, this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully others will follow suit with better designs.

I like Brocade's wallpaper but I feel like I would regret buying it 2, 3 years down the line when I'm a little older and the trend has shifted. But then again, I feel that way about almost all the things that Brocade and Anthropologie sell.

I wish the terms "fugly" and "meh" would really go away.

Meh, that's fugly.
(Actually, I was quite taken with black-on-white damask when it appeared in Vienna in the spring of 2006.)

A lot of the stuff doesn't seem to be available. Damask is nice, but too trendy. 2-3 years from now it will be so dated.
