Product Description
Cavallo is a statement grasscloth wallcovering designed for interiors that call for depth, character, and presence. The dramatic horse motif creates a sense of movement across the wall, while the woven natural ground adds softness, texture, and a beautifully organic finish.
Printed on a medium-weave bleached sisal grasscloth with non-woven backing, Cavallo balances bold pattern with refined materiality. It feels both expressive and sophisticated, making it especially suited to powder rooms, boutique commercial spaces, feature walls, and richly layered residential interiors.
The close-up texture gives the design a warm, tactile quality that elevates the overall look far beyond a flat printed surface.
As with all natural grasscloth wallcoverings, subtle variations in texture and tone are part of the beauty of the product. Panel shading differences and visible seams are inherent characteristics of the finish, adding to its handcrafted, natural appeal rather than detracting from it.
Professional installation is recommended for the best result.

As Cavallo is printed on a natural grasscloth ground, slight variations in colour, weave, and texture may occur. These natural characteristics are part of the beauty of grasscloth wallcoverings and should not be considered defects.
Cavallo Installation
Professional installation is recommended for Cavallo. Please read all hanging instructions carefully before cutting or installing the wallcovering.
Cavallo is a paste-the-wall wallcovering. Use a good quality, pre-mixed tub adhesive suitable for non-woven wallpapers. Paste should be applied directly to the wall, not to the printed surface of the wallcovering.
Before Installation
- Check that you have received the correct product and enough wallcovering to complete the installation.
- Inspect all panels before cutting or hanging to ensure they are free from defects or damage.
- Walls should be dry, clean, smooth, and even.
- Remove old wallpaper, loose paint, and any unstable surface material.
- Roughen painted surfaces lightly with sandpaper before hanging.
- For best results, cross line the walls using good quality lining paper.
- Allow lining paper to dry completely before installing the wallcovering.
- Plan the seam placement carefully before installation, especially around corners, fireplaces, doors, windows, and focal points.
Preparing the Wallcovering
- Lightly dampen the non-woven backing before hanging.
- Book the wallcovering for approximately 2 minutes before installation.
- Do not over-soak the wallcovering.
- Work with one length at a time.
Pasting and Hanging
- Apply adhesive evenly to the wall, covering an area slightly wider than the width of the wallcovering.
- Butt joints carefully during installation.
- Use a decorator’s brush to smooth the wallcovering from the centre toward the edges.
- Remove air bubbles gently as you work.
- Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints.
- Trim excess from the top and bottom using a metal edge and sharp blade.
- Change blades regularly to ensure clean cuts.
Important Notes
- Do not allow paste to come into contact with the printed surface.
- Keep hands clean and dry while handling the wallcovering.
- Paste may damage the surface if left on the wallcovering.
- If paste touches the surface, lightly sponge it while still moist using a clean damp sponge.
- If any defect is noticed during installation, stop hanging and contact the supplier before continuing.
- Natural grasscloth may have visible seams and variations in colour, weave, and texture between drops.
- These natural variations are part of the character of grasscloth wallcoverings and should not be considered defects.
Site conditions are beyond the supplier’s control. It is the responsibility of the buyer and installer to ensure the wall surface and environment are suitable before installation.
Cavallo Care
Cavallo is printed on a natural bleached sisal grasscloth ground and should be cared for gently to preserve the texture, finish, and appearance of the wallcovering.
Cleaning Instructions
- Clean only by gently dusting with a clean, dry brush.
- A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment may also be used.
- Do not scrub, wash, or sponge the surface.
- Do not use water, detergents, solvents, bleach, or chemical cleaning products.
- Avoid rubbing the surface, as this may damage the natural fibres and printed finish.
Important Care Notes
- Keep the wallcovering dry and avoid excessive moisture or humidity.
- Do not allow paste, cleaning products, or liquids to sit on the printed surface.
- If dust builds up over time, remove it gently using a dry brush or vacuum brush attachment.
- Natural grasscloth may show subtle variations in colour, weave, and texture.
- Visible seams and natural texture variations are expected with grasscloth wallcoverings and should not be considered defects.
Gentle dry cleaning only is recommended to maintain the beauty and longevity of Cavallo.
