Cork Wallpaper & Wallcoverings 

Real cork wallpaper is made from the bark of the cork oak tree. The harvested bark is shaved into fine veneers and pressed onto a toned paper backing, sometimes with a metallic layer that glints through the bark's natural openings. The texture on your wall is the actual material, not a printed effect.

Yes. Cork bark is stripped by hand and the tree is never felled; the bark regenerates fully. Portuguese law requires at least nine years between harvests, and a cork oak gives its first harvest at around 25 years then keeps producing for more than a century (sources: APCOR and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation). It is one of the most renewable wall finishes available.

Cork is honeycombed with millions of sealed air cells, which makes it naturally sound-softening. A cork feature wall reduces echo and makes bedrooms, studies and dining rooms feel noticeably calmer, though it is a finish rather than a dedicated acoustic treatment.

Our cork wallcovering comes in single rolls 91cm wide by 7.32 metres long, hung as vertical panels butted edge to edge. One roll covers approximately 6.6 square metres of wall.

Every colourway in our cork collection is $449.95 per 91cm x 7.32m roll, with $4.99 samples available so you can check the colour and texture in your own light before ordering.

Our range covers 36 colourways: whites and champagnes, warm naturals and sands, sage, duck egg and ice blue, terracotta and amber, through to espresso, merlot, storm grey, ink black and midnight. Many colourways carry a gold, silver or copper backing that shows through the bark naturally.

Cork suits dry interior walls: bedrooms, living rooms, studies, dining rooms, hallways and commercial spaces. We do not recommend it for wet areas or splashback zones where it would be regularly exposed to water.

Cork hangs paste-the-wall in vertical panels, butted edge to edge without overlap. Because it is a premium natural material, we recommend an installer experienced with natural wallcoverings. Our installer directory can help you find one near you.

Panels are butted edge to edge, and seams on a well-hung cork wall read as fine hairlines within the natural texture. Cork's organic variation means seams are far less visible than on printed papers.

Dust with a soft dry cloth or a vacuum brush on low. Avoid wet cleaning and scrubbing; cork should be kept dry.

Cork is a natural material, so tone varies subtly between production batches. Order your full wall quantity in one go so every roll comes from the same batch. If you extend a project later, order a fresh sample first to compare.

Yes, every colourway is available as a $4.99 sample. We always recommend sampling first: cork's tone and metallic glint change with your room's light.
