Use shower caddies to organize a listening center. 'Be certain where you’re putting a picture and/or light up because once a hole is made something will always have to hang in that position to cover it,' she adds.What you’ll need: Vinyl rain gutters from home improvement store, spray paint if desired, heavy duty Velcro strips, 3. Kate Guinness also recommends a picture lighting system from Hogarth Lighting which allows you to change the height of the light and the wire is covered. 'The rail itself can be very discreet and the art hung from it with acrylic wires so it isn't visible.' 'This allows you flexibility to hang art without piercing the fabric,' explains Charu Gandhi of Elicyon. When hanging artwork or mirrors on fabric walls, you can choose to build in an art hanging rail within the beading edge of the wall panel. Can you hang items against fabric walling? Using someone with experience to do this means the previous preparation work can most likely be re-used. 'Our team can carefully dismantle the previous wall upholstery maintaining the original frame where possible,' says Hepzabeth. Bear in mind that it’s also possible to re-cover an upholstered room.
But there are caveats, including the potential for variable stretching which makes accurate matching or aligning of patterns at the edges problematic.

'It is indulgent, but it dampens the sound and makes a room feel cozy,' she adds. 'All bedroom walls should be fabric walled,’ believes interior designer and founder of Ensemblier London Tara Craig. Reduce noise with fabric wallingīeyond the confines of contract decorating (restaurants, in particular, benefit from improved acoustics with fabric walls), the treatment helps to dull noise in large rooms such as dining rooms and, unlike wallpaper, can be stretched over acoustic foam in a cinema room. This same technique can be used to create a decorative panel, for instance behind a bed. 'Instead, the fabric is stretched across the padding walls and fixed into the open system which when closed holds the fabric in place,' says Hepzabeth. Those looking for a modern approach will tend to opt for the clean-edge system –that is without the need for additional braid or piping. It’s finished with decorative braid or double piping.'
This is then stretched across the padded walls and stapled to the edges of the frame. The chosen fabric is cut and sewn together to create a one uniform piece it’s here that fabrics with patterns or stripes are carefully matched and stitched to create visual impact. 'The walls are then covered with a padding which creates a soft-to-touch feel, keeps the walls from looking visually flat and improves the acoustics. 'The traditional method starts by building a frame around the perimeter of the walls including the skirtings, cornice, windows, doors, and behind any electrical fittings,' explains Hepzabeth Evans, founder of The Textile Wall Company.
