CMO Paris Wallpaper

How to choose CMO Paris wallpaper by fiber

CMO Paris wallpaper is woven rather than printed, so the first decision you make is not a pattern but a fiber. Raffia, sisal, abaca and banana leaf each take light in their own way, and the one you land on decides whether a wall stays quiet or keeps catching your eye at four in the afternoon. Settle the fiber and the rest of the choice gets simple.

Raffia, sisal and abaca: reading the weave

Raffia Wallcovering 4 is the supple one, an open weave with a shimmer that shifts as you walk past. Sisal 2 Wallcovering pulls tighter and far more even, closer to a flat textile than to grass. Abaca Wallcovering is drawn from the fiber of the banana plant, counted among the strongest natural fibers there is, and it turns up coarse in one range and finely worked in the next. Bamboo Wallcovering keeps a visible vertical rhythm. Cork Wallcovering Collection stays matte and gives back almost no light, while Wild Nature Wallcovering is the loud end of the range.

Where these woven walls earn their place in an American home

An entryway is the easiest room to begin with. It is narrow, it takes constant traffic, and a woven wall keeps it from reading as a corridor. A powder room will carry a bolder weave than you would risk across a wide open plan. In a primary bedroom the texture takes the hardness off the flat wall behind a headboard, and in a study the deeper sisal tones give a wall a depth paint never gets to. The range sits easily next to linen drapery and wood, which is why it turns up as often in a pared-back Japandi room as in a paneled dining room.

Ordering these designs from a single run

Measure the room before you order, then buy the whole quantity in one go and hold a spare roll back. Plant fiber is grown, not manufactured, and hand weaving leaves its own trace, so tone and structure move a little from sheet to sheet. Buying in one run keeps that movement inside a range your eye reads as one wall. Tape a sample up for a few days first and look at it twice, once in daylight and once under the lamps you actually switch on at night.

Hanging a woven wallcovering

This is not a peel-and-stick product, and it is not the job to learn on. The wall underneath wants to be smooth and primed, the adhesive has to suit a natural fiber, and paste that strays onto the face of a raffia weave is hard to put right afterwards. Ask your installer whether they have hung woven wallcovering before, and take the answer seriously.
