ECO FRIENDLY WALL COVERINGS
Eco-Friendly Wall Coverings


Though it looks a lot like wood, bamboo is technically a grass and therefore regenerates much faster than typical timber. Also, harvesting bamboo can help improve its growing conditions by allowing younger shoots to receive more light. Thus, bamboo is a great eco-friendly option. For use as a wallcovering, bamboo reeds are applied to a paper backing with an adhesive. The result is beautiful, subtle variation in color and texture that creates a spa-like ambiance.
Natural fibers or grasscloth papers
These handcrafted wallcoverings are made of real grasses or vines woven together and affixed to paper backings. Once installed, they lend an organic aura to any room. The delicate nature of these materials makes installation a bit tricky.
Cork
Trees used for cork products are not cut down. Rather, just the outer bark is harvested. This doesn’t harm the tree, and the bark grows back, making cork a great eco-friendly alternative. Cork is also known for its resistance to mold and mildew. This makes it a hypoallergenic option for homes and businesses, and its natural insulating properties are a plus for those who desire temperature or sound control. From a design standpoint, cork wallcoverings exude modern warmth like wood.
