What is Fabric Wall Covering?

Hi,

Yes, you read that right. Fabric wall coverings are a real thing. Of course, this idea is not brand-new. For millennia and across many different civilizations, fabrics have been used as ceiling decor. But throughout the past few decades, this fashion has gained a lot of traction, and it appears like we can't get enough of these! So, I am going to tell you all about fabric wall coverings and give some ideas on how to use it, since I have myself used fabric to cover many of my walls at home.

The name of a cloth wall covering should give you the answer. You can use cloth as an alternative to artwork or repainting your walls.

If you are a tenant and want to redesign but are unable to obtain the landlord's or housing council's approval to make any significant modifications, or if you have a habit of changing your mind frequently and like to redesign your house every few months, this might be a very fantastic alternative.

There are obviously some restrictions on the different fabrics that can be used, for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

Fabric wall covering ideas

It wouldn't be very practical to cover a fabric wall with a heavy material like velvet or something you could use for a drape or thick blanket because it would be too heavy and wouldn't remain in place.

However, if the fabric is excessively thin, like silk, you run the danger of causing damage from normal wear and tear, water stains, and other things of the like.

A fabric wall has the advantage of being essentially reusable. This means that if you grow tired of a certain material or design, it is simple to remove it and reuse the fabric for another project by tossing it in the washer for a brief cycle.

Now you what are fabric wall coverings and how they are a cheap but aesthetic alternative to paints and wallpapers.
