WALLPAPER COLLECTION CELEBRATES SIMPLER TIME

Raymond Waites, who is recognized as the leader and founder of the American Country movement in the 1980’s, has designed New American Country, a wallpaper collection by Imperial that marks his return to the well-loved things of this country’s past.

“New American Country is like a visit to an old friend – a style that has been accepted around the world for the past twenty years,” said Waites. “It’s a style I was a part of rediscovering in the 1980s and has been the cornerstone of my creative journey.”

Waites believes this is an important time to rediscover the simple, familiar heirlooms such as hand-stitched quilts, antique ladder-back chairs, painted hope chests and family china. These are welcome symbols through which tradition and history come alive.

“New American Country is a contemporary country wallpaper collection that celebrates the best American tradition, “ said Carolyn Resar, vice president of marketing and design for Imperial Home Decor Group. “Raymond Waites signature style and rich color palette is very evident, as is his sense of humor with many whimsical patterns that feature bucolic cows, country bear toile, and puppies on parade.”

A highlight of the collection, the Inch by inch border, will delight parents and children alike. It serves as a growth chart with room for date, name, age and height. As a compliment to the Countryside Meadow sidewall, the growth chart is perfect for a kitchen or den. Or, pair with Puppy Play to create a charming setting for a child’s room.

There are wonderful patterns for the kitchen, the new heart of the home, including pastoral scenes, country crockery, fruit baskets, vintage plaids, checkerboards and bowls overflowing with strawberries.

“New American Country is a wallpaper collection about the enduring tradition of the American experience, recreating what is best in our past, as well as embracing the exciting new Raymond Waites American country style for today,” said Resar.
