What is Grasscloth Wallpaper?

Constructed with natural woven fibers, grasscloth is a textured wall covering that offers a unique tactile experience and creates dynamic shadows when exposed to light.

Because of the unique grooves and textures in grasscloth, you can also enjoy some natural sound absorption. This makes them perfect for media rooms, offices, or anywhere you might want a bit of noise control.
