Grass Cloth Decorating- Hot Again!

Grass Cloth Decorating: Sea Grass Calls for Nautical Furniture and Lighting

Grass cloth wall and ceiling coverings are hot again, and they look great teamed up with nautical furniture and lighting. Take a look at this beautiful and eco friendly trend and how to use it in your home.

Grass Cloth Decorating: You may remember walls and ceilings covered with sea grass back in the 60s. They're back and more colorful than before. Now you can enjoy metallic shimmer and bold prints along with the beauty of natural materials that add textural interest to any surface.

The panels are usually made from sea grass woven together and backed with rice paper. Other natural fibers like hemp and jute may be used as well. Many of these products are extremely eco friendly using renewable fibers, chemical free paper, vegetable dyes and hand weaving.

Grass Cloth Care and Installation: The main concern is to protect grass cloth from moisture. That means you can't use it in the bathroom close to a shower, tub, toilet or sink. It can be fine for dryer areas like powder rooms and dressing rooms. For the same reason, you can't wipe it with a sponge or apply liquid cleaning products. Use a vacuum to remove dust and grime.

It's also challenging to install grass cloth because it's wide and usually not pre-pasted. Unless you're very handy, you may want to call in a professional paper hanger. In fact, ask them to confirm how much to order. Natural and hand dyed fibers will have color variations so you want to get enough the first time.

Nautical Furniture And Lighting: Premium nautical furniture and lighting is an excellent choice to go with sea grass in your home or office. Consider a vintage Captain's Desk or a Coast Guard Patrol Spotlight.
