Our Story
The Wallpaper Atelier was founded on a simple belief: that the walls of your home deserve the same care and craftsmanship as everything else in it. Our business has been operating internationally for over four decades — bringing a depth of knowledge and supplier relationships that only time can build.
We curate our own exclusive range of handmade grasscloth and hold it in Australian inventory for fast, reliable supply. No international lead times, no uncertainty.
We also offer a wide range of materials for custom orders including jute, abacá, arrowroot, triangle grass and paperweave.
For larger projects, we offer bespoke colour and material tailoring across a wide variety of options, working directly with designers and decorators to match any palette. Whether you need one roll or an entire building, we can deliver.
A note on natural materials Our grasscloth is intricately handwoven from natural fibres, giving each roll a captivating tactile quality that no manufactured product can replicate. As with all natural materials, each roll may exhibit slight variations in colour and texture, and seams will be visible — these are not imperfections, but an inherent and beautiful part of what makes every installation unique. Please be aware that on-screen colours and physical samples may vary from the finished roll. We are unable to offer refunds where colour differs slightly from a screen image or sample.
Professional Installation
Grasscloth requires experience to hang well. Unlike printed wallpaper, it cannot be trimmed in the same forgiving ways, and the natural fibres are sensitive to excess moisture. We strongly recommend engaging a professional wallpaper applicator for all installations. Full installation instructions are included for the use of your experienced grasscloth installation professional.
Seams & Variation
As a handwoven natural product, seams between drops will be visible — this is characteristic of all grasscloth wallcoverings and is not a defect. Slight colour variation between rolls is also inherent and contributes to the organic warmth of the finished wall.
Care & Maintenance
Avoid excess moisture and do not scrub. Dust lightly with a dry cloth or soft brush. Grasscloth is not suited to high-humidity environments such as bathrooms. With proper care and installation, it is a durable and enduring wall finish.
Correct installation makes all the difference with grasscloth. We can connect you with experienced, vetted wallpaper applicators in your area. Get in touch and we'll put you in contact with someone we trust.

The Material
Unlike printed wallpaper, grasscloth is a living material. No two rolls are identical — the natural variation in fibre, colour, and weave is precisely what makes each installation unique to your home.
Naturally Textured
The organic weave adds warmth and depth that paint and printed papers simply cannot replicate.
Sustainably Sourced
Natural plant fibres — sisal, jute, seagrass, abacá — harvested and woven with traditional methods.
Handmade, Every Roll
Woven by skilled artisans, no two rolls are exactly alike — a mark of genuine craft.
Acoustically Warm
The natural fibre texture absorbs sound, adding a quiet comfort to any room.
"There is a particular quiet that comes from a room lined with something handmade."
