Welcome to Our World
Inside an 1880’s Philadelphia textile mill not far from the Schuylkill River, you’ll
find us busy in our studio, the heart and soul of our business. It’s here where we
turn the ideas that inspire us into pattern and color. It’s here where our community of artisans works together to print fabrics
and wallpapers of original design and exceptional quality. And it’s here where we share our lives working side by side
creating and making beautiful things.
This Wallpaper Portfolio presents the full range of our Wallpaper Collection and provides detailed information about all
of our patterns and color ways. It opens a window into our design
process and reveals how we approach creating our patterns. And if you’re looking to customize our wallpaper,
we’ve included almost everything you need to know.
Installation shots and close-ups of our wallpapers are featured throughout these
pages, including stunning photos from some of our favorite interior designers.
Thanks for your interest in our studio...and enjoy the book!

HAND BLOCK PRINTING is the core of our business and always the starting point for our patterns. Here our
Birds pattern is inked up with 5 colors in a painterly fashion before being pressed onto linen.
The process is deceptively simple… and surprisingly nuanced.

ESTRELLA IN GUAVA
The design process is still a mystery to me. While traveling in Japan, I stumbled on a book of Paraguayan textiles. This became the
starting point for Estrella, and the carving of woodblocks began. After playing with scale, levels of complexity,
and color - this is where we landed - with the help of a deadline, of course!

The process is what I enjoy… Watching the patterns evolve, emerge, and find their voice. This pattern is a mashup of a photo I took of a koi pond, a print of antique seaweed from a flea market,
my passion for Japanese prints, and my love of Leo Lionni’s
children’s book Swimmy. LIZ GALBRAITH

A WORLD OF COLOR
At Galbraith & Paul, we create our own colors and mix our own paint. Over the years, we’ve built a recipe book of more than 350 colors varied enough to work with any style and mood.
For some rooms, our colors are the starting point, what everything else is designed around. For others, they are the last piece of the puzzle that makes it all complete. Either way, our wide-ranging palette of standard and custom colors will bring your project to life.

CUSTOMIZING OUR WALLPAPER
Because our wallpapers are printed to order, creating a custom is easy and fun! You can mix and match our colors or send in your own swatches.
There is no additional cost per yard for Custom Wallpaper, but a Strike Off is required. Strike Offs cost $100.
Here are the steps for customizing our wallpaper. Please contact your local showroom for assistance.
Most of the tools for customization are on our website at galbraithandpaul.com
1. SCHEMATICS. Visit galbraithandpaul.com and find the schematic for the pattern you want. Schematics are located on each pattern page. They show color placement by number and list all the colors for our standard wallpaper memo samples. These schematic numbers will be referenced when ordering a custom Strike Off with the Custom Submittal Form.
2. COLORS. You can use any color from our color palette/chart, which is available online or as a paper document from any of our showrooms. You can also submit outside colors for matching from paint chips, fabric swatches, rug samples, etc.
3. CUSTOM SUBMITTAL FORM. This form is required for custom orders and can be found on each pattern page next to the Schematic. Fill out the Custom Submittal Form to detail your color choices and placement, and submit it with your order. We will use the form to produce your Strike Off.
4. STRIKE OFFS. Strike Offs for custom are required. They cost $100 and take a week to complete. Once Strike Off is approved, the normal lead time of 2-3 weeks applies.
5. MATCHING WALLPAPER AND FABRIC. To do this, we recommend you start with the fabric (whether standard or custom) and then have us match the wallpaper to the approved fabric. Use the Custom Submittal Form and indicate it is a match to our fabric.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Galbraith & Paul recommends using a guild-certified wall covering installer (wallcoveringinstallers.org)
Before you start:Please ensure you have the correct wallpaper and the right amount to finish the job. Please inspect the wallpaper carefully to make sure it has no defects prior to installing. Galbraith & Paul accepts no responsibility for wallpaper once it has been cut.
Wall Preparation:Wall should be prepped to a smooth, clean, and dry surface prior to installation. Wallcovering will not hide wall flaws such as nail holes, bumps, or dirt.
Primer sealer should be used on unpainted drywall. Use a hard, acrylic, pigmented wall-protecting primer. Products such as Shieldz Pigmentable Wallcovering Primer, Professional Ultra Prime (PRO-977), or Allpro Ultra Prep 685 are all suitable.
Paste Information:Clear adhesives such as Professional Ultra Premium Heavy Duty Clear Strippable (PRO-880) and Allpro Pro-Duty 3400 provide good adhesion and allow for easier stripping when the wall covering is to be removed or replaced.
Pastes such as Professional Heavy Duty Clear PRO-838 have a more aggressive adhesion and should be used for more permanent applications.
Apply a coat of the adhesive using a 1/2” nap paint roller. Book for 10 minutes.
Hanging Information:Do not use tape on imaged surface.
Align top and adjoining edges. Smooth panels into place with a smoothing brush, starting at the center of the panel working towards the edges. Use a plastic smoother to push air pockets to the edges.
The low wet expansion of these products allows double cutting at the seams. Overlapping the seams is not recommended.
Please ensure that all paste has been wiped away from the front side of paper when installation is complete. Excess glue drying on the printed paper may cause damage to the print.

OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR POWER
Their talent, creativity and spirit inspire us every day.
And we couldn’t do what we do without their dedication,
hard work, and laughter. Thank you!
Galbraith & Paul was founded in Philadelphia by Liz Galbraith & Ephi Paul in 1986, and began as a small hand paper making studio. Trained as a painter, Liz’s heart was always in craft. When she discovered hand block printing in the 1990’s, we changed direction and evolved into a fabric design and block printing studio, catering to the world of interiors.
We love block printing’s simplicity and elegance, and combined with our painterly approach, it continues to feed our creativity. There is a surprisingly wide range of possibilities within the narrow confines of this craft. The subtle surfaces, blended colors, the small imperfections - all reveal the singular hand of the artisan and inspire the next design.
We love maintaining a studio dedicated to the preservation and reinvention of this ancient process, and the best part is working with so many creative and interesting people. Our mission is to make beautiful things in our studio and to foster a community based on ideals of fine craftsmanship, mutual respect, work-life balance, generosity and compassion.
Currently, our Wallpapers and Fabrics are made to order and sold to the Design Trade through Showrooms in the U.S. and Internationally. We also design a line of Rugs exclusively for Holland & Sherry, as well as produce a range of Block Printed Pillows for Room & Board.
