A creative wall design gives the interior a kick and emphasizes various elements of the furnishings. The wooden and natural stone walls have great appeal, but they also come at a great cost. Covering the wall with fabric or textile wallpaper is a cost-effective alternative. Whether you decide to cover only part of the wall or even the entire wall in fabric depends closely on your personal preferences.
Wall cladding also has other advantages - it allows you to quickly hide cracks in the walls that occur after faulty construction or in old houses. Wall cladding with lining insulates against noise and cold. Linen and cotton are perfect for this. Before attaching the fabric to the wall, you should attach a wooden strip construction. Optionally, the fabric can also be glued to the wall.
The effect of the patterns
If you want to set accents in your living room or bedroom, you can cover the walls with original patterns. If the room is small, monochrome wall coverings are more appropriate, as elaborate patterns can make the room appear even smaller. Larger rooms can be completely decorated with fabrics with natural patterns. We have collected 30 ideas for you that can serve as inspiration. Which wall design do you like best?
Upholstery is popular for wall coverings for a reason. On the one hand, they make the room appear more comfortable. But they can be particularly useful in the bedroom, where they can be used as a replacement for upholstered headboards. But even if your bed has a headboard, that doesn't mean an upholstered accent wall has to be unnecessary. Bedside lamps, which illuminate the accent wall nicely in the evening, make this elegant part of the room stand out even more.
Whether the upholstery is chosen in a more modern style, as in the example, or in a classic style, as here, depends on your taste on the one hand and your furnishing style on the other. For this dining room, the upholstered walls were not only used as a practical decorative element, but also serve as a comfortable backrest for a bench, which is also equipped with some decorative cushions.
The fabric wall is without a doubt an eye-catcher for every room. Use them to complement a certain main color in the interior and use them to extend the floor, for example, or choose them in a completely different color and make them a contrasting element in the interior. Feel free to use different shades of a certain color to create an interesting interplay of colors.
How about a fabric decoration that doesn't take up the entire wall, but functions like a mural. You have two options to choose from. Either you start looking for a new fabric with colors, patterns and motifs that meet your needs. But your fabric decoration will be even more individual if you design something of your own on a piece of textile. Decorative elements such as pompom ribbons, sequins, bows and the like can also be used.
Cover the bedroom with velvet upholstery
You can also get an elegant look with velvet. And since this material is available in a wide variety of colors, you are sure to quickly find the one that suits your needs. The wall becomes particularly interesting with fabric when it is not simply covered entirely, but rather when individual segments are designed with the help of upholstery. This gives the accent wall additional texture and makes it look more lively.
The curtain as an accent in the interior
Even curtains can be used as wall decoration and do not always necessarily have to frame windows. This is also a good option for hiding old walls and avoiding major renovation work. The ambience also becomes particularly elegant. Feel free to combine curtains in different colors. Large walls in particular don't seem quite as sterile.
Leather wall covering for the living room
Leather is a particularly easy-care wall covering. Of course, you can also choose the more environmentally friendly and cost-effective artificial leather variant, which nowadays hardly differs visually from real leather and is available in a wide variety of colors. Would you prefer a neutral wall design or do you like eye-catching and extravagant accents in the furnishings? You decide for yourself, because everything in your interior design depends entirely on your taste!
Add texture with faux fur
This idea made of faux fur is also very extravagant, don't you think? And so that the wall covering doesn't become too monotonous, you can also decorate it with a few pictures. You decide for yourself whether you use other fabrics, real paintings or, as here, pieces of wallpaper with pretty patterns.
Dress the bedroom in neutral colors
Neutral colors are anything but boring and if you think that you cannot successfully and harmoniously combine two contrasting colors such as gray and brown or beige, you are wrong! It all depends on the correct distribution and quantity. You can also create a touch of glamor and elegance with some metal surfaces. A brown curtain replaces the four-poster bed in this bedroom, so that the bed frame can now stand bare without looking unfinished. Brown first turns into a brown-gray and then into gray, which creates a harmonious interaction.
