Simple yet textural, authentic nailhead trim is a timeless embellishment with historically French origins.

Phillip Jeffries reimagines nailhead trim for your walls with their award-winning wallcovering collection, Rivets®, which features precise raised-rivet designs. It's the perfect wallcovering to add texture and subtle pattern to a room. It's versatile, effortlessly chic, and meticulously handcrafted. What is not to love? 

Tone On Tone Rivets
When a designer chooses a wallcovering for their own home, you know it's a good one. Shelby Girard, head of design at Havenly and principal of her own design firm, Shelby Girard Design, used the uber chic coloration of black on black (Rivets® 5701, Black on Ebony Glazed Abaca) to give the Connecticut dining room above a modern edge.

How It's Made: Artisanal Quality
A masterclass in handcrafted artistry, our Rivets® wallcovering features round, raised rivets that are meticulously hand placed in a geometric pattern for a modern twist to a timeless square silhouette. This specialty wallcovering is crafted by artisans using a multi-step process. First, a carefully selected ground is laid flat. Then each raised-relief rivet is applied by a skilled artisan using special tooling with pearlized ink and a unique skip method. Once dried, the wallcovering will have the look and feel of authentic nail heads. 


Endless Customization Offerings
Yes it is a true designer favorite for its versatility and unique design, but it's also incredibly easy to customize.  This ensures your clients and projects can have their own unique wallcovering. Designers love that this popular collection is available in a wide range of colors. Pick your ground and pick your ink color for a completely unique combination. Everyone can enjoy these customization options we offer because we make the custom design process easy.
