Can grasscloth be used in a bathroom?
If it is a small bathroom where a lot of humidity builds up the answer is “no.” If it is a full-length powder room or bathroom where the grasscloth is close to a toilet bowl I would definitely say the answer is “no.” Grasscloth is absorbent and cannot be cleaned with any type of standard bathroom cleaner. Most instructions that come with grasscloth advise that all you can do to clean it is to use a vacuum cleaner. However, if you’re referring to a very large bathroom often found in today’s extremely large houses where moisture never builds up and the walls are never touched, you could probably get away with putting grasscloth in a bathroom if you keep the room dry.

Phillip Jeffries “Natural Illusions” collection (www.phillipjeffries.com)would be a good place to start for a faux grass.
