Grasscloth Re-emerges in Stunning Revivals

Written by faith

I have always loved grasscloth in my interior design projects.  Now in a revival, grasscloth is reinvented in sophisticated weaves. New wallpapers include woven jute, seagrass, boodlecloth, extra fine sisal, raffia, and paper weaves. See these examples from Thibaut:

Handcrafted weaves of natural threads and fibers

I love the natural effects of these handcrafted weaves of threads and fibers  in Thibaut’s Grasscloth Resource collection.  The prints have designs printed under or over the grasscloth, and some have metallic effects, creating a variety of looks. Patterns are enlivened with fresh and clean colors that complement the palette. The natural weave in these environmentally-friendly wallcoverings provides a three-dimensional quality that adds interest and texture.

The Grasses is an exclusive hand printed tone on tone pattern with a botanical motif of grass and wildflower silhouettes bending in the wind. The pattern is printed on the face of a fine jute cloth. Another hand printed grasscloth, Kunqu Damask, is a clean, modern damask that’s been softened with fibrous texture.

Hand made paper weaves with raffia, jute cloth, boodlecloth, seagrass and luxurious fine sisal are included in the collection. They come in a variety of textural designs and tonal colors. These papers would be great in an entry, dining room, powder room or bedrooms.

This new Thibaut collection provide rooms with an interesting backdrop and harmonize particularly well with styles ranging from modern to country, and tropical to traditional. Patterns are 36” wide which is wider than traditional wallcoverings, and the materials are natural.

Are you ready for grasscloth? Let me know.
