This type of wallpaper is usually made by hand, which is an added value. The materials used to make them are bamboo, jute, rattan, banana fiber, wooden strips or braided water lily.
After selecting the fibers that will make up the wallpaper, we proceed to your braiding and sometimes dyeing. Then, and to make the paper more resistant and durable, a "non-woven" base is added, which also makes it easier to lay. To the pleasant aesthetics provided by natural fiber wallpaper, we must add its texture, which increases the feeling of well-being in the rooms whose walls it decorates.
