In case you haven’t heard, we’re going to show our present residence health club into our bed room. So I’ve been making an attempt to place collectively a adorning plan for that room in order that I’ll be able to implement it as quickly as the brand new ground and subfloor have been put in and I’ve had an opportunity to stain and seal the brand new ground. And since grasscloth might be my favourite of all wallcoverings, and this may be my final probability to make use of it, I’m about 85% positive that I’ll be utilizing grasscloth in our bed room.
If I’m going to do grasscloth, it must be teal…clearly. I wouldn’t even think about one other colour. So I ordered 5 totally different samples from two totally different firms, and I’ll present you what they appear like. I needed to see what they appear like within the rest room as a result of, whereas I don’t want the grasscloth I select to match the toilet, I additionally don’t need it to conflict with what’s happening in there. Instantly, I assumed that two of them may very well be dominated out, leaving me with three decisions. And of these three decisions, I instantly beloved one in all them way over the opposite two.
Right here’s a have a look at all 5. Are you able to guess which one was my favourite?
I’ll go so as and let you know my ideas. This primary one is likely one of the three finalists. That is Gallant Grasses Crown Jewel by Phillip Jeffries. I like the feel and the general colour. What I don’t like is that the lightest background colour nearly appears to be like fluorescent in individual. It calls for method an excessive amount of consideration. If that background colour was toned down a bit, this grasscloth would in all probability be my favourite.
I used to be actually hoping that this second one could be the one as a result of it’s the one one which’s really vinyl, which suggests it’s very straightforward to wash. That is Madagascar Raffia Emerald Sea by Phillip Jeffries. It has a wonderful texture, so it appears to be like like the true factor. Sadly, it’s too inexperienced for my style, so I dominated it out. I favor my teals to be extra on the blue aspect with a contact of inexperienced blended in. This one appears to be like prefer it’s on the inexperienced aspect with a contact of blue blended in.
Subsequent up is Juicy Jute Tantalizing Teal by Phillip Jeffries. That is the precise grasscloth that I used to have on the entryway wall. After which I used it on the drawers of the console desk within the entryway. Since I’ve really used it earlier than, I do know I like it, which is why it’s clearly within the closing three.
Subsequent up is this Deep Teal Blue Heavy Bamboo grasscloth. I had excessive hopes for this one as a result of I like such a grasscloth with the flat, huge bamboo strips. However the colour is totally off. It has method an excessive amount of inexperienced in it, and the general colour is just too flat and lifeless. There’s no vibrancy to it in any respect, so I dominated this one out nearly instantly.
And at last, there’s this magnificence. That is known as Cool Teal Sisal Grasscloth. I wasn’t anticipating a lot from this one, and I nearly didn’t order it, as a result of on the product itemizing web page it appears to be like so inexperienced. And I like my teals on the blue aspect. I’m so glad I went forward and ordered it, although, as a result of it’s the right teal! In individual, it’s completely beautiful.
I’m fairly positive that’s the grasscloth that’s proven in this image from the home page of that website:
I do know it appears to be like loads lighter and brighter in my picture, however that’s as a result of I took the picture at evening and had all the lights turned on. In individual, and relying on the lighting, it does have that deep, darkish, wealthy look to it.
Right here’s a have a look at all 5 towards the mural once more. The contenders are 1, 3, and 5. And I assume I’ve already given it away, however the final one is my favourite. It’s not the one which matches the mural one of the best, however once more, I don’t want it to match. It’ll be within the subsequent room. I simply don’t need it to conflict, and I believe that the final one enhances the toilet properly.
Right here’s a have a look at all 5 towards the wall. This was taken at evening with all the lights turned on.
I took a pair extra footage this morning after the solar got here up as a result of colours look somewhat totally different in that mild.
And right here’s one other have a look at them towards the mural within the morning mild.
If my aim had been to decide on the one which matched the toilet one of the best, I’d go along with Juicy Jute Tantalizing Teal (the center one), which is the one I’ve used earlier than. Right here’s what it regarded like within the entryway.
It’s positively a really fairly grasscloth. However subsequent to that final one, it doesn’t even examine. That final one has a richness and depth of colour to it that all the others lack.
If I had been to decide on in the present day, I’d go along with that final one. I can simply image it with white wainscoting, these gauzy white curtains, a wonderful upholstered headboard, and many others. I believe it’ll be stunning, proper? Or do you suppose I’m making a mistake by not going with the one which extra intently matches the toilet?
