Many cloth wallpapers tend to keep a very natural look to them. Grasscloth ones are an example of this.
Grasscloth wallpapers usually are made of natural fibers woven together and they can have a very distinct and
natural look to them. They will have all the features and imperfections of natural materials that add to their
unique look. These are great for trying to create a certain theme in a room. Jungle themed rooms can have a bamboo
cloth, or some other tropical looking cloth on the walls that will really add an authentic feel to the room. Some
of these cloths can really mimic having walls that are made out of bamboo posts or something. These can give the
feel of being in a hut or something similar.
Cloth wallpapers are typically sold without a pre-glued backing. This can add another layer of cost and
complexity to hanging the wallpaper in your home. Really, it is not that more difficult but it may be enough to put
off some people. It is usually recommended to get at least a medium duty glue for applying cloth wallpapers. You
really need that strong bond to be able to firmly hold the fibers of the cloth to the wall. This is necessary as
the cloth is porous and will offer less surface area to directly stick to the walls.
There are also faux cloth wallpapers of various kinds. Some are a cheaper cloth material made imitate more
expensive materials. Some of these may be a plain cloth with a more complex texturing printed on. There are also
ones made with a synthetic material that offer a significant cost savings over a real cloth wallpaper while giving
a decent imitation of the real thing.
