Tissage Mahieu Wallpaper

Tissage Mahieu wallpaper has been woven since 1889 in Waregem in West Flanders, where Gustave Mahieu founded the family business. Five generations on, every roll still comes from the company's own atelier in Belgium: designed, woven on wide textile looms and laminated by hand onto a non-woven backing. That is what makes this wallpaper so special. It feels like fabric, catches the light in a way painted paper never can and gives a room a tangible, warm sense of calm.

Tissage Mahieu wallpaper has been woven in Belgium since 1889

The story begins with finely spun, pure linen. Gustave Mahieu initially produced extra-wide widths for fashion houses and luxury curtains. Around 1950, brothers Harry and John Mahieu laid the foundations for what the brand is today: woven linen, laminated onto a non-woven base and suitable as a high-end wall covering. Under Xavier Mahieu the company expanded internationally. Today the fifth generation is at the helm. That unbroken textile tradition explains why Tissage Mahieu wallpaper looks so consistent and refined: weaving technique, knowledge of materials and an eye for structure are part of the house's DNA.

Materials and look of Tissage Mahieu wallpaper

The brand works with natural and woven fibres such as linen, cotton and silk, each laminated onto a stable non-woven backing. This construction gives Tissage Mahieu wallpaper a textile depth you simply won't find on a smooth wall. The woven structure reflects light softly and changeably, so a wall looks different by day than in the evening. Expect subtle reliefs, fine lines and natural textures with the appearance of linen and woven fabric. Thanks to seamless weaving techniques the widths join beautifully, so the wall reads as one even surface rather than separate strips.

Where does Tissage Mahieu wallpaper work best?

Tissage Mahieu wallpaper looks its very best on a wall you really want to let speak: behind the bed, in the dining or seating area, or in a hallway that sets the tone right away. The woven structure absorbs sound better than smooth wallpaper, which makes it ideally suited to rooms with hard floors or plenty of glass. It's no surprise that hotels, offices and waiting areas also choose this textile wallpaper, precisely where acoustics and appearance both matter. Combine it with calm, natural tones and clean-lined furniture, so the texture does the work.

Hanging and caring for Tissage Mahieu wallpaper

Because the wallpaper is laminated onto a non-woven backing, it is relatively easy to hang: the paste goes on the wall, not on the strip. Work cleanly and precisely, as woven textile wallpaper requires you to account for the pattern repeat. Lightly dust the wall now and then; treat it as a textile surface and avoid scrubbing or aggressive cleaning agents. Unsure about the quantity or the application?
