| Looking for the perfect wallpaper to spruce up your interiors this year? The first thing you’ll notice on your search – there’s a lot to choose from. From fabric and pattern to texture and durability, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Well, the good news is, we have the answer you’re looking for. Ready? Grasscloth. Read on to be convinced of this all-natural phenomenon. |
First thing’s first, what is grass cloth |
| Grasscloth is the umbrella term for hand-woven fabric using natural plant fibres. It has Asian roots (pardon the pun) that span over a whopping 2000 years. So, what makes this wallpaper method so very wonderful? Let’s find out. |
|
|
1. It’s textured and timeless |
| One of the most distinctive features of grasscloth wallpaper is its gorgeous texture. |
|
| As it’s made from natural fibres, each roll of wallpaper has a unique texture, which instantly works to add depth and warmth to any room – as seen with Secret Garden, above! The color variations and patterns found in grasscloth can create a natural and calming ambience, making it an ideal option for bedrooms, living rooms, and other spaces that call for a soothing atmosphere. |
2. It’s a tough cookie |
| One of the biggest reasons people turn to grasscloth wallpaper, is down to its durability. Grasscloth is solid and resilient, making it a great option for high traffic areas. It’s also characteristically resistant to fading and tears – so you can be sure that your walls remain in excellent condition as the years roll by. |

| So, you can have that bright white design in your hallway, after all! |
3. Versatility is its middle name |
| People love grasscloth because it’s so incredibly versatile. It complements a huge variety of interior styles. Whether you prefer a minimalist, contemporary, or traditional look, you’re sure to find a grasscloth wallpaper that suits your taste. It also pairs well with other textures, such as wood or metal, and can be used to create a unique and eye-catching feature wall. |

| Remember, natural doesn’t necessarily mean the color pallet, Holden proves that! |
4. It’s kind on the eyes and the environment |
| If you’re environmentally conscious (And in 2023, who isn’t?) grasscloth wallpaper is the dream choice. It’s made from natural fibres, such as jute, sisal, or hemp, and is completely free of harmful chemicals and synthetic materials. |
|
|
| Plus, it’s biodegradable and recyclable, so you can enjoy Mr Blow on your walls, without worrying about his friends in the ocean. |
5. Sounds as good as it looks |
|
We’ve saved the best for last… Grasscloth wallpaper has excellent acoustical properties meaning it keeps sound in and angry neighbours out. The natural fibres found in grasscloth can absorb sound, making it an ideal option for media rooms, recording studios, or let’s face it, when you have a family, every room in the house. |
