Grasscloth-Look Wallcovering in Singapore: Savannah to Tiki
Grasscloth brings warmth and a hand-woven character to a room. The J Josephson designs below are woven or grasscloth-look wallcoverings, each with its own texture, colour range and coordinating patterns.
Goodrich Global now lists six woven-look families from J Josephson: Savannah, Tiki, Sisal Song, Resort Raffia, Fiji Weave and Hampton Grass. Here is what sets each apart and where they suit.
The grasscloth-look designs
Savannah
A modern chunky grasscloth, with colour mixes that flicker across the strands. It has 18 matte and metallic SKUs, with names such as Cobble Street, Magnolia and Spanish Moss.
Tiki
Tiki mimics tall grasses in tropical climates, with a refined, multi-colour woven texture. It comes in 24 colours and coordinates with a striped companion, Tiki Stripe.
Sisal Song
Sisal Song resembles a fine woven grasscloth with a horizontal touch of metallic across its 19 colours. Some colours coordinate with the mid-scale Demi-Tone Damask and with Demi Tone Linen.
Resort Raffia
Resort Raffia offers the timeless appeal of natural wovens in shades inspired by weathered grass fibres. The pattern is balanced and calm.
Fiji Weave
Inspired by raffia palm leaves, Fiji Weave blends natural tones with metallic accents. It is described as versatile, from bohemian to contemporary interiors.
Hampton Grass and Hampton Stripe
Hampton Grass is a sophisticated mimicry of grasscloth, with subtle colour shifts that add depth. Hampton Stripe is its companion, with a fine double stripe.

How to choose between them
Start with the texture described on each product page. Savannah is a modern chunky grasscloth, Tiki has a refined multi-colour woven texture and Sisal Song resembles a fine woven grasscloth.
Then consider metallic content. Savannah is offered in matte and metallic SKUs, Sisal Song has a horizontal touch of metallic and Fiji Weave blends natural tones with metallic accents. Request samples to see how each looks in your own lighting.
Finally, think about coordination. Sisal Song coordinates with Demi Tone Linen, Tiki with Tiki Stripe and Hampton Grass with Hampton Stripe, so a project can pair a plain weave with a stripe or linen without introducing a clashing colour. Always compare physical samples against flooring, curtains and joinery before you commit.
Styling ideas
- Pair Sisal Song with Demi Tone Linen on adjacent walls for a coordinated look.
- Pair Tiki with its companion, Tiki Stripe, or Hampton Grass with Hampton Stripe, for a coordinated woven and striped scheme.
- Layer rattan furniture, linen curtains and warm lighting over a natural-toned weave.
- Choose a metallic colourway in a dining room, where candlelight or warm bulbs bring out the sheen.
