The term "grasscloth wallpaper" encompasses a range of natural fabrics that are handwoven from natural plant fibers, including sisal, seagrass, arrowroot, bamboo, and jute.

The fibers are extracted from the plants and allowed to dry in the sunlight. Traditional handwoven looms are employed in the manufacturing process. Typically, this product is crafted in countries such as China, Brazil and Tanzania where the respective grasses are cultivated.

Grasscloth wallpaper traces its origins to Asia, where natural fibers are intricately woven into rice paper and then applied to walls, offering both insulation for homes and a naturally decorative touch. Archaeological findings reveal the use of natural grasses on walls dating back over 2000 years. In contrast to the costly Silk and Linen Wallpapers of the time, grasscloth, with its affordable natural fibers, found widespread use in households.

By the 17th century, the allure of Silk wallpapers had reached London, where they were imported for adorning luxury houses and mansions. However, a significant shift occurred in the 1960s and 1970s during the rise of hippie culture and a heightened appreciation for eco-friendly materials. Natural wall coverings, characterized by simple weaves and basic colors, gained immense popularity in Europe and America.

The 1990s witnessed a resurgence in demand for ecological and sustainable products, prompting leading wallpaper manufacturers and distributors to introduce more daring designs and a broader spectrum of colors.

The enduring appreciation for sixties and seventies culture persists, fueled in part by television shows like Mad Men, which showcase interior designs from that era, often featuring grasscloth wallpaper prominently.

In the contemporary landscape, manufacturers have an extensive array of options, offering infinite possibilities for new designs that are a far cry from the original wall coverings of previous generations. Modern designs incorporate mixed fibers, metallic dyes, and patterns inspired by parquet designs, reflecting a dynamic evolution in grasscloth wallpaper aesthetics.

Sisal stands out as the predominant fiber, commonly employed in the production of ropes. This robust fiber is well-suited for wallpapers due to its inherent strength and versatility in accepting dyes. Through weaving and application to backing, these fibers are transformed into a durable wall covering.

Jute wallpapers share similarities with sisal, featuring slightly thicker but softer fibers.

Seagrass and bamboo wallpapers utilize thicker and sturdier fibers, resulting in a textured appearance.

Yes, grasscloth wallpapers are crafted by hand using traditional looms and natural materials. As a result, anticipate slight colour variations between each panel and a join that can be noticable.

Paste-the-Wall means that you just need to apply paste directly to the wall. After that, you only need to mount the dry wallpaper to the wall. It's that simple!

Pattern repeat is the vertical distance between one point in the pattern and where that identical point appears again. It is important to keep in mind when you are choosing your printed wallpaper design. All our patterns match straight.

Grasscloth, while not as durable as vinyl or printed paper, is more susceptible to stains due to the natural fibers' lower resistance and their relatively delicate nature.

When cleaning, exercise caution by using a damp cloth, but refrain from excessive rubbing to prevent colour removal from the wallpaper.
