Yes, it probably would work as well as DIF (or starch or vinegar)-soaked cloths. But I can vouch for the quality of the sheets. Looks like they'll last a good long time. Wish I could figure out how to get them to stick to the ceiling. Just me doing it and it's been tedious, let me tell you, getting wallpaper off the ceiling! What were they thinking???

I would kill to have something papered in one of those Quadrille or Cowan and Tout bamboo trellis style wallpapers. And I love the classic Manuel Canovas trellis pattern. Not so hot on the Kelly Wearstler Trellis pattern for some reason. Anyway, I also love grasscloth and would love to try it. I just hate to go to the trouble of having to hire someone to hang it because I always have such horrible luck hiring tradespeople. I would rather paint because I can do that myself and make sure it'd done right. Anyway, here are some beautiful, timeless wallpapers:

Take a look at what banks have up on their walls. Sherwin Williams usually has books with commercial wallpaper.....usually it's vinyl, low sheen, with some sort of fabric back...extremely durable. Patterns are usually subtle, mostly textured.. Many of the commercial 'papers' come in very wide widths which are difficult for a DIYer without extensive experience, but that may depend on the lengths you would need. You might look for a grasscloth look which seems to stand up to some handling. I've had a grasscloth vinyl up in a long narrow hallway standing up to packages, grandchildren, dogs for almost 15 years and it looks brand new. If it were paint it would have had to have been redone several times.

I would definitely use the full size of the photograph which includes more of the blue-green at the bottom. That color to me says relaxation and also emphasizes the water aspect of an exotic holiday. I would find green fabric -- perhaps placemats or tea towels -- in the shade of your brand and use them on top of the table.

Or you could have straw or rattan placemats on the tables with green bowls, etc. https://www.ikea.com/pl/pl/catalog/products/30375281/ https://www.ikea.com/pl/pl/catalog/products/40082536/
