One thing you should know about me is I love soft textures. My home is full of chunky knit throws, soft pillows, and a bouclé accent chair that I absolutely did not need but could not say no to. Some people call it hygge. I call it knowing exactly what makes a room feel good.

So when we started developing a linen wallpaper material, I knew immediately it was going to be my favorite thing we've ever made.

Not because we needed another product. But because texture on walls does something that color and pattern alone just can't. Walk into a room with a beautifully textured wall and you feel a shift before you've even figured out what you're looking at. That depth. That dimension. That warmth. Linen captures all of it.

So I am thrilled to announce we have officially launched our newest wallpaper material: Linen.

Every pattern in our catalog is now available in soft, silky linen texture. It's the same artist-designed patterns you love, in a material that adds an entirely new dimension to your walls.

Let me show you what I mean in under 30 seconds:

What Is Linen Wallpaper?

What Is Linen Wallpaper?

Linen wallpaper is a traditional, unpasted wallcovering with a soft linen texture on the surface that you can both see and feel. The soft texture lives on the face of the paper itself, giving it a subtle fabric-like quality. Run your hand across it and you know immediately it's something different.

It has a woven backing, which sets it apart from our matte paper (nonwoven backing) and guides your installer on which paste to use and how to work with the material. The paper is also noticeably thick, which helps mask minor wall imperfections and contributes to that smooth, luxurious finish.

Here's what makes it genuinely rare: there aren't many linen texture wallpapers out there, and the ones that exist are almost always solid or subtle pattern only. We can print any of our bold, artist-designed patterns on linen wallpaper. The finished product looks like the artist painted the design directly onto your walls.

Like every material we make, our linen is vinyl finished, commercial grade and water resistant. The vinyl finish is what makes it wipeable and durable enough for high-traffic spaces and bathrooms. The linen texture is what makes it feel like something more.

Why Textured Wallpaper Is Having A Big Moment

Why Textured Wallpaper Is Having A Big Moment

I've been watching the texture trend build for a while now, and I wasn't surprised when linen-look wallcoverings started showing up on every trend list worth reading.

The reason makes total sense. We spend so much of our lives staring at flat, backlit screens that our homes have started to compensate. People want rooms that feel tactile. A woven-texture wall does exactly that. It catches light differently in the morning than it does at night. It makes the whole room feel warmer without changing a single piece of furniture. Design forecasters have been calling textured wallcoverings one of the defining interior trends of 2026, and honestly, I've been watching it happen in real time through the rooms our customers are creating.

The coolest part? Most wallpaper with a linen finish is only available in solid colors or super subtle patterns. Here, we're able to print any of our patterns on this soft, tactile material. I absolutely love the look of bold patterns printed on linen. The richness is unreal.

Here's the honest breakdown:

Peel-and-Stick Canvas is our most popular material, and there's a very good reason for that. It goes up without paste, comes down without hassle and works perfectly in rentals or rooms where you want the freedom to change your mind. If you're a renter or a chronic redecorator, start here.

Matte is a traditional unpasted paper with a clean, flat finish and a nonwoven backing. It puts every bit of focus on the print itself, which makes it the pick for anyone who wants maximum graphic impact. Little to no texture.

Faux Grasscloth is our most textured material. A woven-backed paper with an earthy, fibrous surface that makes a real statement on the wall. If you want maximum texture, this is your pick.

Linen is a luxuriously soft finish. Like faux grasscloth, it has a woven backing. However, its surface is softer and more subtle than faux grasscloth, giving it a velvety fabric-like feel without the heavier visual weight of grasscloth's fibers. It's the sweet spot between understated and tactile.

The new linen texture is most similar to our peel-and-stick canvas texture. Just with a soft, fabric-like finish over top.

Where Linen Wallpaper Works Best

Where Linen Wallpaper Works Best

The short answer: a lot of places. The longer answer: here are the rooms where linen is really going to shine.

Bathrooms and Powder Rooms. Like all of our materials, our linen is vinyl finished and water resistant, which means it handles moisture, splashes, and regular cleaning without a problem. A linen-texture paper in a powder room is one of the most elevated looks you can achieve right now, and it holds up in a way that natural grasscloth simply cannot.

Entryways and Hallways. High-traffic zones are brutal on wallpaper. Linen's commercial-grade construction means it handles daily bumps, brushes, and occasional scuffs without complaining. Bold prints hit differently in an entryway, too, because the woven texture adds presence and weight to the pattern.

Dining Rooms. Linen brings warmth to a dining room without competing with the table setting, the drapes, or whatever art is on the opposite wall. The subtle texture reads as sophisticated rather than busy, and in candlelight it catches dimension that flat paper never will. This is the room where people tend to regret going with matte.

Bedrooms. Fabric on the walls has always been a luxury move, and linen makes it genuinely achievable. The soft woven-texture surface adds quiet coziness to a bedroom that paint and flat paper just can't get to. A linen print behind a bed, floor to ceiling, is a wall people ask about.

Living Rooms. A fully wallpapered living room is a commitment, and linen is the material that makes it worth it. The woven texture adds dimension to neutral colorways and tactile richness to bold prints without ever feeling overdone. It's warm, considered, and the kind of room you stop noticing because it just feels right.

Accent Walls. One wall can really shine with linen wallpaper. A single linen accent wall adds texture, depth and personality to a room in a way that paint simply cannot. There's even science behind why a textured wallcovering makes us feel happier. It's a small commitment with a big return.

What to Know Before You Install Linen Wallpaper

What to Know Before You Install Linen Wallpaper

Linen is a traditional unpasted wallpaper, which means paste is required and professional installation is strongly recommended. The good news on seams: the texture actually works in your favor. Seams should not show at all with a proper install, and getting a clean result is easier with linen than it is with matte. Any installer who's comfortable with traditional wallpaper will find linen a complete breeze.

Here's the full picture:

Paste is required. Standard for all of our traditional, unpasted papers.

Professional installation is strongly recommended. Linen's woven backing makes the installation process slightly different from our nonwoven matte paper. A good installer will manage seams confidently and get the result looking exactly the way it should. Our installation guide has everything you need going in.

Seams are not something to stress about. The linen texture works in your favor here. Seams show less because of the texture, and with a proper install, they shouldn't show at all. Getting a clean, seamless result is actually easier with linen than with traditional matte paper. Any installer familiar with traditional wallpaper will find linen a total breeze.

Smooth walls make everything easier. Primed, smooth walls give you the best possible result with any unpasted wallpaper. That said, linen's thickness makes it more forgiving than matte if your walls aren't perfectly smooth. If you have significant wall texture, skim coating before installation is still worth considering.

Choosing linen is choosing a wall you're proud of for years. That's the trade you're making, and it's a very good one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our linen wallpaper has a soft linen texture on the surface of the paper itself, giving it a fabric-like feel you can both see and touch. It has a woven backing, which differs from the nonwoven backing on our matte paper and helps your installer determine the right paste and technique. Our linen wallpaper is vinyl finished, commercial grade and water resistant.

Yes. Like all of our wallpaper materials, our linen is vinyl finished and water resistant, which makes it fully suitable for bathrooms and powder rooms. It handles moisture, splashes, and regular cleaning without a problem, which is something natural grasscloth wallpaper simply cannot do.

Seams show less with linen than with traditional matte wallpaper, because the texture works in your favor. With a proper professional install, seams shouldn't show at all. Getting a clean, seam-free result is actually easier with linen than with matte. Any installer familiar with traditional wallpaper will find linen a breeze.

There are actually three things worth discussing here: linen, faux grasscloth and grasscloth.

Grasscloth is a natural wallcovering made from plant fibers, like jute, seagrass or hemp. It has beautiful texture but absorbs moisture, stains easily, and isn't suitable for bathrooms or high-humidity areas.

Faux grasscloth, on the other hand, has a woven backing and a vinyl finish, making it water resistant, wipeable, and fully bathroom-safe. It's our most textured material, with a bold, fibrous surface.

Linen also has a woven backing and vinyl finish, with the same durability and water resistance, but a softer, more subtle texture that sits just below faux grasscloth on the texture scale.

Both linen and faux grasscloth are better suited to everyday living than natural grasscloth. The choice between them comes down to what kind of texture you want on the wall.
