A Touch of Luxe

Textured wall coverings are a popular trend this fall. Options including grasscloths, shagreens and even luxury faux leathers and alligator skins can add the perfect hint of luxe to any room. Use them on an accent wall, on a ceiling or create a sophisticated oasis in a home office or bedroom by applying texture on all four walls. Grasscloths have been the most popular, with an endless amount of weaves and styles to suit any design aesthetic. Tightly woven sisals and neutral grass weaves are great for creating a relaxed and comfortable space.
    If you’re going for a more modern and elegant feel, you may want to check out grssscloths with a metallic sheen or even a pattern featuring metal stud embellishments. If you love the look but you need something a little more durable, there’s a variety of great vinyl grasscloth that can stand up to high traffic or damp areas like bathrooms.
