Grasscloth Wallpaper
Explore grasscloth wallpaper and natural woven wallcoverings made from tactile plant fibres including sisal, raffia, jute and hemp. These materials bring visible weave, organic texture and natural variation to a room, creating a warmer and more individual surface than a conventional printed wallpaper.
Natural grasscloth can show differences in shade, fibre and panel appearance between drops, which form part of the character of many genuine woven wallcoverings. Order samples where available to compare colour and texture in your own light, and check the individual product specification for width, backing, supply format and hanging guidance before ordering.

Natural fibre wallcoverings
What Makes Grasscloth Wallpaper Different?
Grasscloth wallpaper is valued for the texture and variation created by woven natural fibres. Depending on the design, the surface may use sisal, raffia, jute, hemp or other plant fibres mounted onto a suitable backing, giving each wallcovering its own weave, tone and material character.
Natural fibre construction
The surface is formed from genuine woven fibres rather than a flat print, so slubs, irregularity and changes in the weave can form part of the design.
Visible seams & shading
Natural grasscloth can show panel effects, visible joins and subtle shade differences between drops. These characteristics are often inherent to the material rather than faults.
Samples matter
A sample helps you judge fibre scale, colour, texture and sheen, although natural variation means the installed wallcovering will not be mechanically identical to a small sample.
Natural character
Variation, Seams & the Panel Effect
One of the defining qualities of genuine grasscloth is that the finished wall can look more visibly panelled than a conventional printed wallpaper. Fibres take colour differently, weave density can vary and adjacent drops may not appear perfectly uniform.
For many natural wallcoverings this is part of the intended appearance. If you prefer an exceptionally even surface, compare a grasscloth sample with related woven options such as paperweave before ordering.
Always inspect the wallcovering and its current manufacturer guidance before cutting or hanging. Natural variation differs from one construction to another.
Plain to decorative
Grasscloth Can Be Subtle or Patterned
Grasscloth is not limited to quiet beige plains. Natural fibres can be dyed, woven in contrasting directions, pieced into geometric arrangements or used as the ground for more decorative designs.
Neutral and natural grasscloths remain popular when texture is the main feature, while patterned grasscloth can make the construction itself part of the design. On this page, use the colour and pattern filters to narrow the collection according to the look you want.

Colour & atmosphere
From Pale Naturals to Dark Grasscloth
The woven surface of grasscloth changes noticeably with colour. Pale natural fibres can create a calm, understated backdrop, while deeper brown, charcoal, blue and green tones emphasise the weave and can give the wall a more architectural presence.
Darker natural wallcoverings can also show surface variation and joins more clearly depending on the fibre, dye and lighting. Sampling is particularly useful when you are choosing a strong colour or using the wallcovering across a large uninterrupted wall.
Because colour classifications cover the wider wallpaper catalogue, use the filters on this Grasscloth page when you want to combine a particular colour with this natural-fibre construction.
Fibres & related surfaces
Sisal, Raffia, Jute & Hemp Grasscloth
Grasscloth is a broad natural-fibre family rather than one single finish. Sisal, raffia, jute and hemp can create different levels of fineness, regularity and texture. The individual product specification is the best place to confirm the exact surface construction.
Sisal
Often associated with relatively fine, linear natural weaves. Browse the dedicated Sisal Wallpaper page when you want to focus specifically on this fibre family.
Raffia
Raffia can produce a more expressive, irregular surface, from refined woven grounds to bolder handcrafted decorative constructions.
Jute & hemp
These fibres can create anything from relatively fine woven surfaces to chunkier, more rustic textures. Check the product description and technical specification for the exact construction.
Ordering & installation
What to Check Before Ordering Grasscloth Wallpaper
Grasscloth and other natural-fibre wallcoverings are not all supplied in the same format. Some are sold by the roll, while specialist designs may be wider or supplied by the linear metre. Check width, length, backing and any pattern or match information before calculating quantities.
Adhesive, preparation, trimming and hanging direction vary by manufacturer and construction. Do not apply one universal installation method across the whole category; follow the instructions supplied for the exact wallcovering.
Where batch, lot or production information is provided, order sufficient material for the project together and inspect the wallcovering before cutting or hanging. TM Interiors can help identify the product information you need before ordering.

Buying advice
Grasscloth Wallpaper FAQs
What is grasscloth wallpaper made from?
Grasscloth is a broad term for woven natural-fibre wallcoverings. Depending on the product, the surface may use materials such as sisal, raffia, jute, hemp or other plant fibres mounted onto a backing.
Are visible seams normal with grasscloth wallpaper?
Yes, they can be. Many genuine natural wallcoverings are intended to show some panel effect, seams and subtle shade variation. The degree varies by product, so review installation photography and the manufacturer’s specification before ordering.
Is grasscloth the same as paperweave?
No. Both can create a woven, natural-looking surface, but grasscloth generally uses plant fibres whereas paperweave uses paper strips, yarns or paper-based materials as a principal part of the weave.
Can grasscloth wallpaper be patterned or dark?
Yes. Grasscloth ranges include understated natural plains, richer dark colours and decorative designs where fibres are dyed, woven in contrasting directions or incorporated into patterned surfaces.
Should I order a grasscloth sample?
Yes, where available. A sample helps you assess the weave, colour and texture in your own light. Natural materials can vary, so treat a sample as representative rather than a guarantee of perfectly uniform colour or fibre placement across every drop.
Does all grasscloth use the same adhesive and hanging method?
No. Backings, adhesives, trimming, hanging direction and preparation vary by manufacturer and product. Always follow the instructions supplied for the exact wallcovering and consider an experienced installer for specialist natural materials.
