Textile & Fabric Wallcovering
Luxury textile & fabric wallcovering for Ghana homes and offices — silk, linen, grasscloth and acoustic fabric, supplied and installed by Wallpapers Ghana. Tactile, sound-softening walls compared by material, indicative ₵/roll, and which fabric suits Accra's climate. Since 1985.
Textile and fabric wallcovering is the most tactile wall finish there is — a woven silk, linen or grasscloth surface that catches light, softens sound, and reads as luxury the moment you touch it. Wallpapers Ghana has supplied and installed premium wallcoverings across Accra since 1985, specifying the fabric to the room and the light it will sit under rather than hanging one default everywhere.
Why Textile & Fabric Wallcovering
A printed wallpaper gives you a pattern; a textile wallcovering gives you a surface. Woven natural fibre and silk have depth, a tactile weave, and a quiet, sound-softening quality that flat print cannot reach — which is why they belong in formal living rooms, master suites, boardrooms and studies where the wall is meant to feel considered. The trade-off is care: natural-fibre textiles are dry-room materials that reward a prepared wall and a careful hand, so they are specified, not just hung.
Choosing the Right Fabric for Your Room
The common regret is choosing a textile for the sample swatch and discovering its behaviour on the wall — a delicate silk where children’s hands reach, or grasscloth in a damp corner. The fabric is a room decision: formal living rooms and master suites reward silk’s sheen; bedrooms and studies suit linen’s soft matt weave; feature walls reward grasscloth’s natural texture; and rooms where sound matters call for an acoustic-backed fabric. We specify to the room, the light and the wear first.
Textile Wallcoverings We Install in Accra
Silk & Silk-Effect Wallcovering
A soft, light-catching sheen for formal living rooms, master suites and statement walls. Real silk and high-grade silk-effect weaves give the most luxurious surface in the range — best kept to dry, low-traffic walls where its finish is protected.
Linen & Natural-Weave Wallcovering
A matt, understated natural weave that reads warm and calm — the right call for bedrooms, studies and quiet living spaces where texture is wanted without sheen.
Grasscloth & Natural-Fibre Wallcovering
Coarser woven natural fibres (jute, sisal, arrowroot, paperweave) with strong visible texture and panel-to-panel tonal variation that is part of the material, not a fault. Ideal for feature walls where natural texture is the whole point.
Acoustic & Tactile Fabric Wallcovering
Fabric-faced and acoustic-backed wallcoverings that soften reflected sound — specified for boardrooms, media rooms, studies and bedrooms where a quieter, calmer room is the brief.
Silk vs Linen vs Grasscloth vs Acoustic

| Linen / natural weave | Bedrooms, studies, quiet living | Matt warm weave | Dry rooms | ~250–350 /roll |
| Grasscloth / natural fibre | Feature walls, entrances | Coarse natural texture | Dry rooms, no scrub | ~200–350 /roll |
| Acoustic / tactile fabric | Boardrooms, media rooms | Sound-softening face | Dry rooms | on survey |

How We Install Textile Wallcovering
- Consultation & fabric selection — fabric chosen to the room, the light and the wear; walls measured; substrate and lighting checked.
- Wall preparation & lining — wall filled, sanded, sized; lining paper hung where the surface or fabric demands it.
- Textile installation — panels cut to drop, weave/pattern matched, hung with the material’s correct adhesive, seams butted and rolled clean.
- Finish, snag & handover — trimmed at skirting and cornice, seams checked under room light, snagged against the sample, handed over clean.
Materials & Standards
- Natural-fibre textiles (grasscloth, jute, sisal, arrowroot, paperweave) are woven natural materials — tonal variation panel to panel is inherent to the fibre, not a defect, and they are specified as dry-room, no-scrub finishes
- Silk and silk-effect wallcoverings are delicate surface finishes — kept to dry, low-traffic walls where the finish is protected; cleaning is gentle dry-dusting only
- Acoustic & tactile fabric wallcoverings are supplied to the manufacturer’s stated backing and fabric build; where a measured acoustic target applies, a dedicated acoustic-backed system is specified
- Textile wallcoverings carry no single performance standard — durability, washability and fire behaviour vary by material, so each fabric is selected on its manufacturer’s stated substrate, weight and care rating rather than a blanket certificate
- A sound, lined, dry substrate is the real determinant of a clean textile finish — preparation, not paperwork
What Affects the Cost
- The fabric (silk and acoustic fabric cost more than linen or grasscloth) and the roll yield per material
- Wall area, drops, and whether lining paper is needed under the textile
- Surface preparation and any old-wallcovering or paint removal
- Pattern or weave matching, ceiling height, and access

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between silk, linen and grasscloth wallcovering? Silk gives a soft, light-catching sheen for formal rooms; linen is a matt warm natural weave for bedrooms and studies; grasscloth is a coarse natural fibre with strong texture and tonal variation, ideal for feature walls. All three are tactile and sound-softening, but each suits a different room.
How much does textile wallcovering cost in Ghana? Textile and fabric rolls run an indicative GH₵200–400 per roll, above vinyl or print, because the material is woven fibre or silk. Installation is quoted on survey, since textile hangs slower and usually needs a lined wall. The firm quote follows a free site measure.
Does textile wallcovering suit Accra’s humidity? On a dry, prepared interior wall, yes — it performs well and softens the room. We keep natural-fibre textiles off damp walls and out of bathrooms and kitchens, where a vinyl or washable wallcovering is the right call. Silk and grasscloth are dry-room materials and should not be scrubbed.
Can textile wallcovering reduce noise in a room? Yes — woven textile and acoustic fabric absorb some reflected sound and soften a room, which suits boardrooms, studies and media rooms. For a measured acoustic target we specify a dedicated acoustic-backed fabric; for everyday softening, a standard weave already takes the hard edge off.
