At The WorkRoom, customers and interior designers can shop an extensive selection of luxury fabrics, wallpapers and decorative trims from many of the industry’s leading brands. Whether you are creating a fully patterned room or adding one memorable accent, these new introductions offer plenty of inspiration.

Johnson Hartig for Schumacher: Fearless Color and Expressive Pattern

Fashion designer Johnson Hartig, founder of the celebrated label Libertine, brings his irreverent and exuberant point of view to his latest collection for Schumacher. The 20-piece collection blends historical references, playful imagery, saturated color and unconventional pattern combinations.

Among the standout designs is Amuse Bouche, a whimsical Schumacher fabric filled with personality. Amal wallcovering introduces a kaleidoscopic arrangement that transforms the wall into a vibrant focal point, while Jilly velvet tape adds a graphic zigzag to upholstery, window treatments and pillows.

Crème Anglaise wallpaper offers a sinuous striped design that feels simultaneously classic and unexpected. Its movement makes it an appealing alternative to conventional striped wallpaper, bringing rhythm and visual interest to powder rooms, bedrooms, entryways and other spaces.

Johnson Hartig’s Schumacher fabrics and wallpapers are particularly suited to interiors that embrace maximalism, creative pattern mixing and dramatic color. Used individually, each design creates a striking statement. Layered together, they produce the richly decorated aesthetic for which Hartig is known.

Kit Kemp for GP & J Baker: Storytelling Through Fabric and Wallpaper

Kit Kemp’s second collaboration with GP & J Baker expands her unmistakable decorating language through more than 100 characterful fabrics and wallcoverings. Available through GP & J Baker at Kravet, the collection combines craft-inspired details, imaginative storytelling and an adventurous use of color.

Tip Toe fabric features a lively multicolored composition that can bring movement to drapery, upholstery, cushions and decorative accents. Tradewind wallcovering layers varied motifs into an expressive design suited to bedrooms, libraries, dining rooms and statement entryways.

The charming Noah’s Ark pattern introduces an array of animals, making it an inspired choice for children’s rooms, nurseries and playful family spaces. Its illustrative quality also gives it appeal beyond children’s interiors, particularly in homes that favor collected and unconventional decoration.

Kit Kemp’s GP & J Baker collection demonstrates how patterned fabric and wallpaper can tell a story. Rather than serving solely as background elements, these designs help establish the character and emotional tone of a room.

Samuel & Sons Introduces Palm Royale and Evienne

Decorative trim is one of the most effective ways to give custom upholstery, pillows and window treatments a polished finish. Samuel & Sons continues its tradition of exceptional passementerie with two new collections: Palm Royale and Evienne.

The Palm Royale collection includes nine decorative borders inspired by vibrant tropical motifs. Verdant Palm, with its rhythmic fronds, can add color and dimension to drapery panels, upholstered furniture, pillows and decorative accessories.

For a more understated finishing detail, the Evienne collection offers silk-and-wool velvet piping in 33 tonal colors. The range extends from delicate shades such as Petal to rich golden tones such as Dijon, allowing designers to create subtle coordination or high-contrast definition.

Velvet piping can outline the silhouette of a chair, sharpen the edge of a cushion or introduce a refined color accent without overwhelming the surrounding design. Decorative borders provide an opportunity to incorporate a second motif and connect several fabrics within the same room.

Samuel & Sons trims are available from The WorkRoom by request. Our team can assist with pricing, samples and selecting the appropriate trim for your project.

Donghia Luminary Honors Textile Designer Dorothy Liebes

Donghia’s Luminary collection pays tribute to influential 20th-century textile designer Dorothy Liebes. Known for her inventive weaving and sophisticated use of color and metallic fibers, Liebes helped expand the expressive possibilities of modern textiles.

The collection reinterprets her work through 41 intricately constructed fabrics. Highlights include Sudare, a complex multipatterned textile; Painterly, a space-dyed bouclé with nuanced color variation; and Skylight, a luminous fabric accented with Lurex.

These Donghia fabrics illustrate the importance of texture within a pattern-rich interior. A room does not need to rely exclusively on printed motifs to create visual depth. Bouclé, dimensional weaving and metallic yarns can introduce pattern through construction, surface and light.

Donghia fabrics may be ordered through The WorkRoom by request. Contact us for current pricing, availability and sample options.

Why Pattern-Rich Interiors Are Returning

The renewed interest in colorful wallpaper, patterned upholstery and decorative trim reflects a desire for rooms that feel individual rather than formulaic. Homeowners and designers are increasingly combining florals, stripes, checks, animal motifs, embroideries and textured weaves to create interiors with depth and personality.

Pattern can be introduced at almost any scale. A scenic or kaleidoscopic wallpaper can envelop an entire room, while a patterned fabric can transform a single chair. Decorative tape, piping or fringe can provide a smaller but equally thoughtful finishing detail.

Successful pattern mixing usually begins with a shared color story. Patterns do not need to match, but repeating several related colors helps different designs feel connected. Varying the scale is equally important: a large botanical or scenic motif becomes more balanced when paired with a smaller stripe, check or geometric design.

Texture provides another layer of contrast. Smooth printed linen, plush velvet, dimensional bouclé and lustrous silk each reflect light differently, preventing a patterned room from appearing flat.

How to Decorate with Patterned Fabric and Wallpaper

For a bold interior, begin with a statement wallpaper and use its palette to guide the remaining selections. Pull one color from the wallcovering for upholstery, another for window treatments and a third for decorative trim or pillows.

In rooms where a quieter result is preferred, choose one patterned fabric for a chair, headboard or pair of pillows and surround it with textured solids. A narrow velvet piping or decorative border can repeat a key color and make the finished piece feel more intentional.

Patterned wallpaper can also be used in smaller spaces where its impact is concentrated. Powder rooms, foyers, bars, dressing rooms and alcoves are ideal settings for dramatic wallcoverings. Because these spaces are experienced in shorter intervals, they can support color and pattern that might feel overwhelming in a larger room.

Before ordering, we recommend requesting samples whenever available. Viewing fabric and wallpaper in the intended room makes it easier to evaluate color, texture, pattern scale and changing light conditions.
