In a word: Grasscloth.
I've always been a fan. And the blogosphere is burning up with its triumphant return. And I will probably go with it--maybe in a metallic for a little bling, though maybe in an olivey green close to the curtain color to enclose the room. Rummaging through some folders tonight, I came across a stack of images that had been misfiled; apparently this is not the first time I have had textured wallcovering on the brain.
Behold.
A faux-leather treatment, unexpected in green.

Farrow and Ball drag wallpaper, in yummy colors.Raffia. More structured than the grasscloth, less "strawlike" (my husband's term. Do you think he is pro grasscloth, or against?)
Phillip Jeffries Zebra Grass.
And--oh, okay--grasscloth. In the most gorgeous blue. Maybe this is why I've also been lusting after blue grasscloth (in lieu of paint) in the guestroom.
Gorgeous.
I like grasscloth, but have you looked into anaglypta if you're encountering too much opposition? It's textured wallpaper that is meant to be painted. I think it's rather old-school.
