The power of wallpaper is no secret. Whether it's a dainty floral or a bold stripe, wallpaper can entirely change the feel of a space, enveloping it in pattern, color, or texture.
While wallpaper trends come and go, one style has remained timeless for decades: grasscloth. Designers love grasscloth for its ability to enrich a room with subtle texture and warmth, instantly elevating a one-dimensional space without overwhelming it. While the material is one that's long been popular, it was Reese Witherspoon's home office that sparked my newfound appreciation for textured walls.
A serene and soothing workspace, Reese's study is refreshingly airy and coastal-inspired, made possible with a rather chic blue grasscloth, much like the Slate Grasscloth Wallpaper from West Elm. It proves the power of texture in generous (but still refined) doses.

The color is clever, too. A pale denim-like blue, it's noticeable without feeling too striking.

The blue is a source of serenity, gently refreshing and uplifting, providing subtle contrast through both color and texture.

Reese's home office is irresistibly chic. While everything in the room is luxurious, the grasscloth walls gently enrich the space with some much-needed pattern, color, and texture.
