Types of Fabric Wall Coverings

Fabric wall coverings come mainly in two types - silk and jute. If you want an artistic, bohemian ambience, you can opt for the jute wall covering, as it has a raw feel and rough texture. It is also ideal to contrast it with plants in your house.

This look goes nicely along with cane furniture for a complete earthy look.

For an elegant and rich look you can go for silk wall coverings. They come in various shades and geometric and floral patterns. They come in various colours from beige to green to suit the requirement of the room décor.

This covering can match well with rosewood furniture. It can also be used in the antique look with old-styled furniture and classic shelves or Victorian dining table.

Mix and Match

It is not necessary to cover an entire wall with it. Doing up a section of a wall or a pillar with flowery fabric can also make dramatic difference to ambience.

You can contrast with dark and light, for example deep shade of orange with a light beige wall. You can also use these contrasts on your cupboard doors for the novelty.

Enhance It With Lights

Thing to keep in mind while putting fabric wall covering is lighting. It can play a role in enhancing the décor by highlighting the covered portion of wall.

You can place lampshades on the sides of the wall to give it a soft look.

Plan your Home Lighting

Price Issues

Since fabric wall coverings come into imported category, they are expensive. If you don't want to use them to do up the entire place, you have to choose wisely. Plan your furniture, lighting and colour scheme in advance and only then choose a wall covering for a portion.
