Add Dimension to Any Room

Available in several deeply faceted organic and geometric patterns, these unusual 3D wall panels are in a category all their own.

By Rob Wotzak

Inhabit’s Wall flats are a sort of textured wallpaper on steroids, made from Bagasse, a fibrous byproduct of sugarcane processing. The permanent versions go up kind of like tile, but with clay-based wallpaper paste, and they require some extra finishing and painting to get the seamless look that makes them so unique. If you aren’t ready to commit, there’s also a hanging version which is as easy to install as a set of curtains.

  • Made from 100% recycled materials with no chemicals or VOCs
  • sold in boxes of 10-12 panels, depending on size
  • $2.66 to $2.75 /sq.ft.
