Why We Love Grasscloth Wallpaper

There are certain design elements that quietly elevate a room—and grasscloth wallpaper is one of them. At Julia + Elizabeth, we believe your home should feel layered, personal, and timeless. Grasscloth delivers on all three.
A Natural Beauty You Can Feel

Unlike traditional wallpaper, grasscloth is made from woven natural fibers like jute, sisal, hemp, or arrowroot. The result? A rich, organic texture that brings warmth and depth to your walls. It’s not just something you see—it’s something you experience.
Each panel is slightly different, which gives grasscloth its signature, perfectly imperfect look. No two walls are exactly alike—and that’s part of the charm.
Instantly Adds Dimension

Flat painted walls can sometimes feel…flat. Grasscloth changes that instantly. Its subtle variations in tone and weave create movement and interest without overwhelming a space.
Whether you’re designing a cozy reading nook, a sophisticated dining room, or a calming bedroom, grasscloth adds a layer of quiet luxury that feels intentional and refined.
Works with Every Style

One of the reasons we love grasscloth so much is its versatility. It pairs beautifully with:
Soft, coastal-inspired interiors (think light woods and linen fabrics)
Classic, traditional spaces with antiques and tailored upholstery
Modern rooms that need a touch of warmth and texture
It’s a neutral—but never boring.
A Perfect Backdrop for Beautiful Furniture

At Julia + Elizabeth, we design chairs meant to be lived in and loved. Grasscloth wallpaper provides the perfect backdrop to showcase them.
Its texture enhances everything around it—from sculptural chair silhouettes to patterned upholstery. It doesn’t compete; it complements.
Timeless, Not Trendy

Design trends come and go, but grasscloth has been used in interiors for decades—and for good reason. It has a staying power that feels grounded and sophisticated.
If you’re looking to invest in your home, this is a design choice that won’t feel dated in a few years.
A Few Things to Know

We love grasscloth—but we also believe in thoughtful design decisions. A few considerations:
Seams are visible (and part of the look)
It’s best used in lower-moisture areas (not ideal for bathrooms or kitchens)
It can be more delicate than vinyl or traditional wallpaper
Think of it as a design element that’s meant to be appreciated, not overworked.
The Julia + Elizabeth Perspective
To us, a home should reflect who you are—comfortable, beautiful, and uniquely yours. Grasscloth wallpaper helps create that feeling in a subtle but powerful way.
It’s one of those details that people may not immediately name—but they’ll feel it the moment they walk into the room.
And that’s exactly the kind of design we love.
