A grasscloth wallpaper is a natural fibre which is hand woven and has a wallpaper backing. Other similar products that come under the same umbrella are grassweave, sisal, bamboo, jute, seagrass and raffia.
These differ as a wallpaper type as the finished look is more rustic than a traditionally hung wallpaper. There will be tags, frays and differences in colour. The joins will show. Each panel may be different or offset. These “imperfections” are what make the look and are to be embraced. If you are looking for a seamless finish this wallpaper type may not be for you. want to know more about a faux grasscloth?
The best thing about grasscloth wallpaper is it creates a wonderful layer of texture to the room without necessarily being the main focus. This allows you to interchange furnishings etc while keeping the wallpaper. Grasscloth lends a definite air of luxury and warm to a room. And while it is more expensive than many non woven wallpapers its worth it if you love this look and appreciate that is was hand made.
In a nutshell: One of the more expensive types of wallpaper. Best for texture & handmade.
