You’ll never guess which shade of Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering this Bravo celeb features in his Los Angeles home.
After years of living in a modern New York City penthouse full of whites and grays, Million Dollar Listing star Fredrik Eklund and husband Derek Kaplan are redefining neutral tones in Los Angeles.
When renovating their new Beverly Hills home (during the pandemic, no less!), the couple relied on warm, rosy shades of pink for its posh, calming vibe. Their hue of choice? A Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering in a soft blush that starts in the entryway and living room and extends through the primary bedroom.
Eklund and artist husband Kaplan spoke to Architectural Digest to explain why they channeled the power of pink. “When you say color, sometimes people think of, like, maximum, very crazy. And that’s not what we wanted,” Eklund told AD. “Everything is soft.”
Pink Grasscloth Wallcovering
The couple, who share 4-year-old twins Freddy and Mila, tapped Eklund’s longtime interior design partner Paris Forino to achieve their aesthetic, which is first displayed in the foyer shown above and below. The team chose the stunning Phillip Jeffries Soho Hemp in Blush Fusion for the entry to the home. Two to three colors of hand-woven authentic hemp are laminated onto colored paper backing to create the natural textured, luxurious wallcovering. Beautiful, natural grasscloth begins with the finest authentic raw materials. Skilled artisans harvest, prepare, and weave each panel by hand. After a thorough inspection, panels are expertly laminated at our mills in Japan to ensure exceptional quality. Since natural fibers vary in color, size, and texture, each roll is completely unique. This is part of the inherent beauty of a natural product.
Grasscloth Wallcovering Adds Texture And Warmth In The Living Room
Not just for making great first impressions, the grasscloth wallcovering carries through to the living room. Below, pink grasscloth also beautifully showcases the couple’s playful pops of color on the bookshelves and furniture.
“It’s light and it’s blush and it’s happy,” Forino told AD.

The statement-making digital mural fuses authentic artistry and innovation that can be printed on paper, grasscloth, silk, linen, authentic metallic leaf, and durable vinyl. Eklund chose a natural grasscloth ground that gives the mural incredible texture.

And for any critics who think the tone is less than ideal for two men? Eklund said, "Pink, by the way, was [a] masculine color in the ‘20s and ‘30s. Now I’m reclaiming it!”
We’d say: Mission accomplished.
