Favorite Trend: Grasscloth, Linen & Burlap

October 12, 2010 by Morgan

I’m very much a fan of these three materials year round, but they’re even more appropriate now that it’s fall (a simple burlap runner or squares makes the perfect base for a fall tablescape!).

There’s something about the natural texture of grasscloth that is both warm and inviting – and very modern. And linen is a great material for lampshades, covering a corkboard or a few extra throw pillows, it brings in that country/autumn feel that helps keep a room cozy. There are so many diy projects to be found using any one of the above ideas, here is a bit of my favorite inspiration and I’m thinking a single wall in our soon-to-be new office would be the perfect place to try these out.

 Burlap, DIY, Inspiration, Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room, Walls, Ceiling, Wall

The entire inspiration board above is amazing – each room showcases an eclectic mix of design that when pulled together appears polished and well-thoughtout. Mixing chinoiserie, bamboo and grasscloth? No problem. Throw in a modern trellis print? Why not.

Camila over at High-Heeled Foot in the Door shared this great grasscloth source (that beat out even Lowes!) when she covered the ceilings in her kitchen.

Or, for a more do-it-yourself approach, here’s a tutorial on creating a linen look for less with paint by Janell of Isabella & Max Rooms. She covered an accent wall in the bedroom and it turned out beautifully!

Why stop with rooms when linen makes such a neat fashion statement! Still Dottie created these brooches (just below) to be worn in the hair, on a belt or pinned to a sweater and I love the look. A recovered set of French chairs in a rugged burlap makes a great statement piece as well.

Grasscloth, linen and burlap are year-round materials, but I think that this is the perfect time of year to make some room in the home for the new textures. More ‘Favorite Trends’ found here :).

    I love that look. I like natural looking fabrics- the french chairs are awesome in that burlap. Had no idea you could use grasscloth on walls!!!

    We just put up grass cloth in our master retreat area! We love it! The texture really is a neat look to build on. It looks great with crisp clean lines next to it :) Thanks for sharing I love all of these photos!

    I also love the earthy look and feel of these fabrics. We carry a large selection of linen and burlap in fun colors like hot pink, orange and emerald green. Check it out here http://www.onlinefabricstore.net/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=all%20burlap This makes it possible to use burlap and linen as an upholstered headboard in a child’s room for example, or as a colorful runner on a holiday table. Great post.

    I just bought a bolt of burlap to use in my dining room. I was thinking of a runner for my table and credenza as well as covering a lamp shade. Not certain about curtains though
    I have thought about it.

    Love those French chairs! I saw them online somewhere and really wish I could find some.

    Oh my gosh, I love this! I adore grasscloth, even after the headache of hanging it by myself last year. Heart!
