The power of wallpaper is no secret. Whether it’s a dainty floral or a bold stripe, wallpaper can entirely change the feel of a space, enveloping it in pattern, color, or texture.
While wallpaper trends come and go, one style has remained timeless for decades: grasscloth. Designers love grasscloth for its ability to enrich a room with subtle texture and warmth, instantly elevating a one-dimensional space without overwhelming it. While the material is one that’s long been popular, it was Reese Witherspoon’s home office that sparked my newfound appreciation for textured walls.

Reese’s home office is so sophisticated. From the grasscloth walls to the high-end furniture, it’s a lesson in quality over quantity. While revamping your walls might not be on the cards, you can create a Reese-inspired study with a blue and white color palette and luxurious furniture.

Galaxy Etagere Bookcase By Everly Quinn

Reese’s home office is a breath of fresh air. While the luxurious furniture and decor add to its charm, the grasscloth walls are what make the interior design feel truly special. Providing the perfect amount of contrast, the wallpaper offsets the paler tones just enough to create depth, without overwhelming the space.
The color is clever, too. A pale denim-like blue, it’s noticeable without feeling too striking. While to some, decorating with blue and white might feel coastal, in Reese’s office, it’s just what the room needs. The blue is a source of serenity, gently refreshing and uplifting, providing subtle contrast through both color and texture.
A material that instantly elevates and grounds, grasscloth is one of those versatile materials that works in even the smallest home offices, providing a layer of texture which quietly accentuates all types of architecture. In the case of Reese’s study, it’s the grounding component – the final flourish to any already competent and rather enviable space.
Reese’s home office is irresistibly chic. While everything in the room is luxurious, the grasscloth walls gently enrich the space with some much-needed pattern, color, and texture.
