The Art of Gracie: Handpainted Wallpapers, Timeless Rooms Hardcover – September 10, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
The story of Gracie wallpaper, founded in 1898 and still family owned by the sixth generation, is one of the great untold stories of American interior design. Best known for their exquisitely detailed designs, Gracie papers have been installed at the White House and many of America’s most notable homes. They are a go-to resource for interior designers including Mark Sikes, Summer Thornton, Ellie Cullman, Brooke Giannetti, Suzanne Kasler, Michael S. Smith, Alexa Hampton, Alex Papachristidis, and Amanda Lindroth, and Gracie can be found in the homes of celebrities including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Cameron Diaz.
This volume, featuring hundreds of color photographs of contemporary rooms by leading interior designers, shows the range not only of the papers themselves—from beautiful florals and birds to panoramic landscapes of American folk scenes and French pastoral hillsides to hunting and maritime scenes—but also the imaginative ways they can be used to create truly transporting spaces. Designs in every imaginable color, from metallics to lush greens and cobalt blues to dramatic reds and blacks, show that with Gracie, any room in the home can become a true, custom work of art.
Exquisite production detail on this volume, including 4-color printed page edges and a cover design custom-painted by Gracie exclusively for the book, will make this a must-have gift item that every interior design fan will want to display.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025This Book is so beautiful! It is full of photographs of the beautiful hand painted wall coverings. I also found the company/family history very informative and interesting without being too much. What I love is the layout! It is page after page of their beautiful wall papers in different rooms and settings . I use the book for inspiration in my work. It is also a beautiful coffee table book. Each time I look through it I discover something I didn't notice before. I love it!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2024This book is beautiful outside and in, including the page edges, which are printed to match the cover. The photos do the company's hand-painted wallpapers justice, some close-up and others showing complete rooms. It's delicious, every page. Gracie is now managed by the 6th generation of Gracie descendants, having been started in 1898. While Gracie is known for their exquisite works of art painted by artisans for custom placement, the way they present their illustrations makes for a non-stop visual feast.
A few pages of text explain the family's story and the history of the company, but most of the 320 pages are of their botanicals, country estate murals, panoramic views, and other varied themes of paintings on wallpaper placed in their clients' homes. We also learn about the company's history with antiques.
Like most Rizzoli books, this one is made of excellent paper and linen-textured covers, the usual quality they put into their books. It's weighty, too, so you know you're holding something substantial... that's substantial in more than one way.
Though one might not be able to afford Gracie's hand-painted wallpaper, looking through this book is inspiring and stimulates ideas of using wallpaper to enhance one's home. When I need a shot of inspiration, or ideas for a specific color palette, I take time to sit with this book and absorb its images. It feels like taking a mini-vacation to recharge... and dream.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024This is the most magnificent publication of the world's most beautiful scenic mural wallpapers. Gracie pioneered mural wallpapers in the US more than 100 years ago. This book brings all these gorgeous designs to life, and you also get to view them as used by the most famous designers past and present in client's homes as well as their own residences. The inspiration is endless. This book is a must own for designers as well as design lovers. The physical book itself is a work of art like you have never seen.
Often imitated but never duplicated. Bravo Gracie !!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025If you like murals or wallpaper, I highly recommend this book. I will keep it forever. The book is large enough to see details on the wallpapers and murals.
