Textured Wallpaper: The Natural, Woven Look - Made in Your Colour Way
Depth, Warmth and a Natural Feel
Some walls ask for more than a flat colour. Textured wallpaper — the woven, grasscloth-inspired look of natural fibres — brings a room organic warmth and a quiet, tactile depth that feels grounded and considered. It's the finish behind so many calm, characterful interiors right now, part of the wider love of natural materials and softer, more organic rooms. And as a printed design, it gives you that beautiful woven look with none of the fuss of the real thing.
At Claret & Key, every textured design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, so the shade is yours. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
The beauty of a woven look
A grasscloth or woven texture reads as a rich, natural neutral — full of subtle variation up close, calm and cohesive from across the room. It brings warmth and depth without pattern, which makes it one of the most versatile designs you can choose: a wall that feels considered and expensive, yet quiet enough to live with for years.
Printing the woven look, rather than using real grasscloth, has real advantages. The colour is even and consistent, there's no fraying or seam-matching lottery, and it's far more hard-wearing. Because we print to order, the colour way is yours — natural, earthy tones for an organic feel, or a richer shade for something more dramatic.
Where textured wallpaper works
A textured design suits rooms you want to feel warm and grounded. In a living room, it brings depth and a natural calm; in a bedroom, it's soft and enveloping; and on a feature wall or in a study, it adds richness without the busyness of a pattern. It's also a wonderful backdrop for art and characterful furniture.
Choose your finish
Every design comes in three finishes. Traditional (150gsm, super-matte) has a smooth surface and a refined, paste-the-wall feel. Heavy-Grade (300gsm) adds a subtle sand texture for a more tactile finish and hard-working rooms. And Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm) gives you the same look with none of the commitment. All are printed to order on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Natural tones shift with the light, so order a sample and see your colour way in the room first.
Frequently Asked Questions About Textured Wallpaper
What is textured or grasscloth wallpaper?
It's a design with the woven look of natural fibres, like grasscloth, that gives a wall organic warmth and depth. Ours is printed, so you get that beautiful woven effect with even colour and a hard-wearing, easy-to-live-with finish.
Is printed grasscloth better than real grasscloth?
For most homes, yes. A printed grasscloth-effect gives even, consistent colour, no fraying or tricky seam-matching, and it's far more durable and wipeable than natural grasscloth — while keeping the same handsome, woven look.
Is textured wallpaper actually textured to the touch?
The woven look is printed into the design. Our Traditional and Removable papers are smooth, while our Heavy-Grade paper has a subtle sand texture, so you can choose a smooth or a more tactile finish.
Where should I use textured wallpaper?
It suits rooms you want to feel warm and grounded — living rooms, bedrooms, studies and feature walls especially. Its natural, neutral character also makes it a lovely backdrop for art and furniture.
Can I get textured wallpaper in a custom colour?
Yes — every textured design is printed to order in your chosen colour way, from natural, earthy tones to something richer, made especially for you.
This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!
Store owner replied:
Hi Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service.
We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job.
Thanks,
Claret & Key
I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M
Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.
This wallpaper is thick and sturdy. It’s very easy to work with and easy to apply. It was my first time hanging wallpaper and this paper was very forgiving. Great product!
