How to Upholster Walls

For cozy chic walls, nothing feels as good as fabric.

Covering walls with fabric adds warmth and a chic, cozy texture you can’t get with paint or wallpaper. It’s also great for sound dampening and covering less than perfect walls. For bedrooms, libraries and media rooms, upholstered walls feel as good as they look.

Choosing your look

A fabric-covered wall can be as temporary or permanent as you want. It all depends on the method you use for hanging your fabric. Here are three great options: Staple it, Starch it, and Drape it!

Tips for choosing fabric

• Fabric covered walls are best in rooms with low traffic
• Go for wider width, lighter weight fabrics that don’t stretch
• Avoid upholstering walls where water or cooking odors could be a problem
