Gary McBournie Home Launches a Fabric and Wallpaper Collection

Whaling Flags, one of the new wallcoverings from Gary McBournie Home, in McBournie’s own Nantucket residence.

For more than thirty years, interior designer Gary McBournie and his life and business partner, Bill Richards, have been creatively energized by Nantucket’s endless charm. Producing a luxury fabric and wallpaper line, Gary McBournie Home, was a natural next step. “We are both strongly attracted to the rich and unique history of the island, from its early settlement times to its whaling heydays to its rediscovery as a resort destination and artist colony,” says McBournie. “The decorative arts are also of great interest, including basketmaking, wood carving, and textiles.” The collection is a greatest hits of coastal patterns, including vintage nautical motifs, crisp stripes, and cheerful florals. All the designs have their charm, but McBournie’s Whaling Flags, with its nautical palette, is undoubtedly poised to become a classic. Gary McBournie Home is available exclusively through Nantucket’s Weatherly Design, weatherlydesign.com.
