Grasscloth Wallpaper

Grasscloth wallpaper: natural fibres on your wall

Grasscloth wallpaper brings texture, warmth and calm to an interior like no other wall covering. It is woven from natural fibres such as sisal, abaca, jute and paper, so every length has its own grain and shade of colour. At Selected Wallpapers you will find grasscloth wallpaper from established names such as Arte, Élitis, Casamance, Greenland, Thibaut, CMO Paris, Mark Alexander and Omexco.

What makes grasscloth wallpaper distinctive

The fibres are woven by hand onto a paper or non-woven backing. Because natural grasses and leaf fibres are never identical, the colour shifts slightly from length to length, and the seams between drops stay visible on the wall. This is part of the material and gives a wall that feels alive. If you are after a more even texture, take a look at our textured wallpaper or the wider range of textile wallpaper. For a flatter surface, plain wallpaper is the natural counterpart.

The fibres behind grasscloth wallpaper

Jute gives grasscloth wallpaper a coarse grain

Jute has a coarse, irregular fibre and a warm, earthy colour. It brings an unpolished, rustic feel to a room and sits well alongside wood, linen and natural tones.

Abaca makes the weave finer

Abaca comes from the banana plant and is spun more finely than sisal. The weave looks smoother and more restrained as a result, and keeps its quiet character in both light and dark colours.

Sisal as a hard-wearing base

Sisal has a strong, resilient fibre and a full, natural look. It is robust in use and combines easily with stone, wood and other natural materials.

Order grasscloth wallpaper at Selected Wallpapers

Because the colour can vary slightly from length to length, we recommend ordering a sample first, so you can judge the grain and colour in your own daylight. Use our wallpaper calculator to work out how many lengths you need, and leave the hanging to a professional wallpaper hanger if you prefer — grasscloth calls for careful handling.
