Silver Metallic Faux Grasscloth

Silver Metallic Faux Grasscloth

There is a simple elegance to Grasscloth wallcovering. The care and installation, however, is not so elegant especially here in SW Florida. The average humidity level hovers in the upper 70s and often climbs into the 90s. It is like breathing water. Granted every home has climate control, but that humidity does find its way in and can affect wall finishes. If the Grasscloth is added into a bathroom there is , of course, the shower steam and sink splashes to contend with. A simple answer to having the look of Grasscloth on your walls without the worry of its upkeep is to have the look faux painted onto the walls.

This Casita bath was literally screaming for a wall finish. With a few tones of silver stria’d on in a horizontal pattern, the room now has the timeless yet modern look of grass cloth: 

Here’s a closer look:

For this particular room, the base coat color is SW7646 First Star. Then using a wide flat natural bristle brush the silver is delicate brushed. This look was alternating with Faux Effects Palette Deco in Silver, and a mixture of Flexible Modeling Paste and Metallic Silver acrylic.

The end result is glamorous, looks like wallcovering, and has the added benefit of being easy to care for and holds up even in the steamiest of rooms.
