More and more often modern designers returning to the old days for inspiration - you must admit, they used to know how to build and repair for centuries. Moreover, all ancient technologies are distinguished by exquisite taste and simplicity. That's how fabric can be described. This technology, or rather three ways of decorating walls, we will analyze in this article. Together with the site site, we will study in detail the question of how the walls are upholstered with fabric with our own hands and find out all the subtleties of this process.
In principle, draping walls with fabric can be done in three ways - they are all quite simple and accessible to everyone. Believe me, this process, despite the apparent complexity, is much easier than wallpapering the walls.

Wall drapery: method one - stretching the fabric under the rail
This method of decorating walls with fabric can be called the most difficult. The fact is that it is difficult to implement it alone on large areas, although it is possible if desired.
A woven fabric, the dimensions of which are 10-15 cm larger than the dimensions of the wall, is fixed with studs or small dowels, first in one upper corner, and then in the other - at this stage of work, it is necessary to stretch the upper section of the fabric to the maximum. After that, a decorative rail is stuffed over the fabric. Here you will have to show all your diligence and patience - you must simultaneously fasten the rail and stretch the canvas.

You need to start from one of the corners and consistently move to the side - it is better to install fasteners every 15-20cm. As fasteners, you will have to choose either with decorative hats, or use ordinary ones, but install them in a sweat, which can later be masked with decorative caps. If a crease crawls out at the end of the wall, then the carnation that pre-fixes the fabric will have to be removed - this can be taken care of in advance, even before installing the last piece of decorative rail (it is unlikely that you will be able to purchase a wall-sized rail).
So, with the top sorted out, now it's time to switch to the bottom of the wall. Almost everything is the same here. First, we stretch one of the lower edges, then the second, and, like last time, we install a decorative bar and at the same time stretch the fabric. The sides of the woven fabric are attached in exactly the same way.
In all this business, there is one very important point regarding the installation of a decorative rail - if you want the wall covering with fabric to be one hundred percent successful, you will have to take care of the correct trimming of the corners. They need to be cut in advance, even before work begins. In principle, you can even prepare all the fasteners ahead of time and drill holes for them not only in the rail, but also in the wall - then you just have to stretch the canvas and fasten the rail.

Sheathing walls with fabric: the second method - stretching the fabric on the rail
This method of decorating walls with fabric is much simpler - it consists in the fact that a rail is first stuffed around the perimeter of the wall, and only then the fabric is attached to the rail. This method has one advantage - thanks to the stuffed rail, it becomes possible to insulate and muffle the wall. Of course, you can’t lay a full-fledged insulation for such a wall, but here thin foam or felt can be used.
Covering the walls with fabric with your own hands
In principle, the whole process of stretching the fabric looks exactly the same as in the first method, only nails with decorative caps are used as fasteners (in this case, the edges of the fabric will have to be folded), or furniture staples. The second way to fasten the fabric is easier and faster. Subsequently, the attachment points are covered with decorative strips.
Finishing the walls with fabric in the second way is carried out in the following sequence. Starting from any upper corner, the fabric is simultaneously stretched and nailed to the rail, first under the ceiling, then above the floor, and only then from the edges of the walls. You should carefully monitor the tension of the canvas so that wrinkles do not form.

Upholstery of walls with fabric: method three - gluing
In principle, almost any fabric can be glued in this way. To decorate the walls in this way, you will need a partner who will hold the naughty canvas. Of the tools, a sharp knife and a powerful old-style iron are useful. From additional materials- exclusively furniture glue, hardening when exposed to high temperatures.
As in previous cases, the decoration of the walls with fabric by gluing it starts from above. Furniture glue without temperature exposure hardens for a long time, so you can safely spread the entire wall at once and not worry about anything. For ease of use, one corner of the woven fabric, from which all work begins, can be fixed with a small carnation. While your partner holds the canvas under the ceiling, you calmly smooth it with an iron - the glue is absorbed into upper layer wrong side of the fabric, gluing it in this way to the wall. So that the upper edge of the fabric does not fall off, it is better to immediately warm up a strip half a meter wide.

Having reached the opposite edge of the wall, the partner can be released and entrusted with trimming the fabric. Give him a straight metal ruler and a sharp construction knife- by placing a ruler in the corner between the ceiling and the wall, it will quickly and easily, and most importantly, evenly, remove excess fabric. In the same way, the fabric is cut off near the ceiling baguettes.
While the partner is fiddling with cutting the canvas, we continue the interrupted process of gluing the fabric. We move in the same way as under the top - we take a strip half a meter wide and, gradually warming it up, we reach the opposite edge of the wall.
How to stick fabric on the walls with your own hands
So, strip by strip, the entire woven fabric is glued. In progress Special attention should pay attention to the following points.
- Firstly, in the process of covering the walls with a cloth, it should not be pulled - it should lie naturally on the walls. The fact is that even after heating, the glue used remains plastic and the fabric can move to the side, resulting in folds.
- Second, the edges. Like it or not, the edge cut with a knife during operation can be frayed. This is prevented in only one way - around the perimeter of the wall, it is necessary to apply a little more glue than everywhere else. It will be absorbed deeper into the fabric and, after curing, will prevent fraying of the edges.
- Thirdly, carefully monitor the uniformity of gluing. Sometimes air can remain under the fabric, which prevents the fabric from sticking in this place. At the end of the work, the wall must be carefully examined for bubbles that have arisen and, if necessary, removed - a couple of punctures with a thin needle and repeated ironing solve this problem in the best way. By the way, such bubbles can also appear the next day - there is nothing terrible in this. The glue dries completely within three days, during which it can be reheated and eliminate all the flaws in the work. After this time, this possibility disappears - it will no longer be possible to heat up the glue.
This is how the upholstery of the walls with fabric is done by hand. Whether it's difficult or not, only you can judge. Yes, and the choice of finishing will also be to your liking. To be honest, I personally like the latter method. But, unfortunately, it has one drawback - when you get tired of the fabric on the walls, the woven fabric is quite difficult to remove. Even if you quickly cope with this work, you will additionally need to spend a lot of time and effort on putting the walls in order.
Wall upholstery is a modern decorating technique in the interior of any room. The textiles used for wall upholstery are very different. He might be natural material and synthetics, different in color, pattern, texture and density.
The most popular fabric is viscose, which perfectly combines best qualities natural and synthetic materials. How to sheathe walls with fabric will tell the article.
When combining textiles of different textures or colors in one room, you can visually divide it into zones with different functional purpose. Decorating the walls with fabric can give the room the effect of warmth and comfort. This is due to the large number of advantages of the material over other types of coatings.

What rules should be observed when lining walls with textiles
At self-decoration walls with textiles, you need to follow some rules:
- For sheathing, only durable matter is used that allows air to pass through and does not fade in the sun, otherwise the fabric on the wall will quickly lose its original appearance.
- In a room intended for textile decoration, it should not be very hot and not humid, which can lead to strong stretching of the fabric, and after drying, deform it.
- You should start after pre-treatment of the fabric, it must be wetted and dried well. Most often, the material will shrink a little, so you need to measure it only after wet processing. In this case, it is worth treating the canvas with dirt-repellent impregnations.
- Finishing walls without seams, if possible, you need to start with even angle or that part of the wall where the resulting butt joint can be neatly decorated.
- Ideal when the width of the material corresponds to the height of the walls.
- It is necessary to purchase textiles for decorating walls with some margin. This is due to the fact that the material is short-lived and after some time it will be necessary to carry out restoration work.
- The adhesive should be applied to the wall, not to the fabric.
- The places of fixing it to the wall are closed with a decorative strip or.
What fabrics are used for wall decoration
Before sheathing the walls with fabric, it is purchased right amount material. It can have any look and texture.
The most popular of them are fabrics from:
- Calico.

Tip: If the proposed options do not fit, you should purchase a regular furniture fabric designed to perform any finishing works, not afraid of moisture.
- Viscose and cotton just stretch. For drapery on walls, it is best to take very light fabrics with a high density.
Tip: For finishing work, apply synthetic fabrics, which are most easily amenable to any impact on them than natural materials.
Before covering the walls with fabric, it must be borne in mind that the price of this type of fabric may be higher than simple wallpaper.
How to finish the walls with fabric sheets
There are several options for wall decoration with fabric.
These include:
- Stretching the material.
- Sticking.
- Drapery.
The instructions for each wall finishing process are different. The easiest way to decorate a room is to stretch the fabric. An example of its implementation is shown in the photo.
For high-quality wall decoration in the room, you must purchase:
- Small wooden slats.
- Self-tapping screws.
- Screwdriver.
- Dowel if necessary.
- Building level.
- Any pencil.
- Roulette.
How to stretch fabric on the wall
The order of work is as follows:
- Using a level, a pencil and a tape measure, the required distance from the ceiling and floor is measured and marked with a pencil to install a wooden slat.
Tip: To simplify the task, immediately along the entire perimeter, draw a line for mounting the rail.
- These elements are mounted under the ceiling and close to the floor surface on the wall with dowels or self-tapping screws, depending on the type of wall:
- for brick or stone, it is better to use dowels;
- for drywall - self-tapping screws.
- There should be the same distance along the entire perimeter between the lower and upper rails, which will allow the fabric to stretch evenly and not form defects when finishing the wall.
- The material is stretched and fastened to the rails with nails with decorative caps. At the end of the work, these hats can be hidden under decorative ornament, which can be a floor or ceiling plinth.
Tip: The fabric should immediately be attached to the top rail, and then pulled across the width. After that, evenly stretch and gradually fix to the bottom rail to avoid wrinkling.
The dimensions of the rail, which acts as a frame for the fabric, allow you to create a space between the wall and the fabric, it can be used for warming the room.
- Styrofoam, small thickness.
- Thin polyurethane foam.
- Minvata.
- Felt.
The installation procedure is as follows:
- A special building adhesive is applied to the wall and to the surface of the insulation material.
Tip: The fabric absorbs dirt and moisture very easily. This requires the process of warming the room to be carried out very carefully to avoid getting glue on outer surface through the joints of the material.
- To eliminate such a defect, you can use a finishing tape, hiding all the flaws behind it, gluing it to the joints of the material.
When insulating, it must be borne in mind that it is impossible to use ordinary glue for the installation of insulation. Over time, it will corrode the insulation, which is deformed. When choosing light shade fabrics, insulation is used similar.
How to stick fabric on the wall
Gluing fabric - very popular view wall finishes.
To carry out such a process, it is necessary to properly prepare the surface. They should be even, as when using a surface for ordinary wallpaper.
It additionally uses:
- Drywall. This allows you to quickly and easily level any surface (see).
- Plaster. When applying such a coating, the result directly depends on the master who applies it.
It's dusty and laborious process, after which there is a lot of garbage.
To complete the process you will need:
- A stationery or ordinary sharp knife with a thin blade.
- Powerful, better "grandmother's" iron.
- Furniture special glue, hardening only from exposure to high temperatures.
- Metal ruler not less than one meter
Work order:
- Furniture glue begins to harden only when high temperature, so they can immediately smear the entire surface. And then the canvas can be pasted over all surfaces.
- The fabric is stretched from top to bottom. For reliable fixation, the upper corner of the canvas is attached to the surface with small nails.
- An iron on the surface is used to iron the fabric from top to bottom so that the glue can gradually be absorbed into the wrong side of the fabric and harden.
Tip: To avoid the formation of defects when finishing with fabrics, the fabric should be well stretched.
- The canvas is ironed with an iron several times, which will achieve the desired result.
- After the end of the process sharp knife the rest of the material is cut off at the top and bottom. But in this case, you need to act very carefully, in these places the glue may not acquire the necessary strength and the fabric will begin to fray. To avoid this, at the bottom, at the top of the wall, and at the junctions of the canvases, furniture glue it is necessary to apply more, which after it hardens will not allow the finish to deform.
- The glue is quite elastic and dries completely in three days.
- After finishing work, the surface is controlled for the presence of air bubbles on the canvas, which can form under the fabric and they will not allow the material to be evenly distributed over the wall.
To eliminate bubbles, you can pierce them with a needle or stick the entire canvas on the surface completely, or some part of it.
How to drape surfaces with fabric
Drapery is the most hard way decoration of the room where fabrics are used. In this case, the fabric is taken much more than the total area of \u200b\u200ball the walls of the room.

If you plan to repair the ceiling and apply a stretch or suspended structure, you can set the level of drapery and level it by eye, but as high as possible.
- This level is drawn with a pencil along the ruler on the surface of the walls.
- One edge of the canvas is attached at the top of the wall along the previously marked line with a small carnation.
- On the surface on top of the fabric, a wooden rail is fastened with self-tapping screws and a screwdriver. The fastening step is taken no more than 30 centimeters.
- The fabric must be well stretched before fastening around the entire perimeter.
- The whole process goes down. The web tensioning technology resembles the two previous methods, with the difference that the rail is fixed on top of the web.
- The fabric is also stretched gradually and fastened to the surface with a rail.
- Excess fabric is cut off with a knife.
Tip: So that the fabric with this method of finishing the room does not fray at the bottom and at the top, it is necessary to correctly measure its dimensions, adding about 2 centimeters to the obtained values. Surpluses are tucked up and disguised under the rail.

The surface before pasting is carefully prepared so that flaws are not visible through the canvas. The layer of plaster is rubbed with a mesh to remove granular fragments. To increase the adhesion of two dissimilar surfaces, the walls are treated with a primer. The fabric is laid on the wall with an adhesive applied only at the edges.

Do-it-yourself fabric wall decoration: various finishing methods
The choice of textiles and the final result of the design depend on the finishing technology. Most often, three methods of textile finishing are used:
- wall upholstery (cotton materials, a mixture of cotton and viscose);
- wall pasting (velor, velvet, suede);
- drapery (thin dense textiles).
Wall upholstery with fabric
There are two ways to make wall upholstery from fabric with your own hands:
- Pull the fabric under the rail.
- Pull the fabric over the rail.
The first option is considered the most time-consuming, and it is better to do it together. Wall upholstery sequence:
The traditional way is to cover the frame with fabric. The frame for attaching the fabric can be made of plastic, wood, rubber or metal. The frame can be made independently from wooden planks or use ready-made fasteners, as for stretch ceilings.
The advantage of using special fasteners is that the fabric from the frame can be removed and installed back without deforming the textile fabric.
Work order:
To create a frame of a non-standard curly shape, you must use a polyvinyl chloride profile
Sticking fabric on the wall
Before pasting, the wall must be prepared: cleaned, puttied bumps and primed. The surface must be smooth and dry.
Before decorating the wall, soak the fabric in water, dry and iron. This must be done so that the textile does not shrink after applying glue and drying.
The procedure for pasting the wall with a cloth:
You can also glue the textile fabric in a different sequence: first of all - the top of the fabric, then - on the sides, and then - the bottom edge of the fabric
Creating a fabric drapery
Wall drapery with fabric is often used in interior design in bars, restaurants, museums. The use of this finishing method in an apartment (bedroom, living room) will add oriental and classical notes to the design.
Drapery of walls with fabric: photo

The draped fabric can be fastened on four sides. To do this, you need to make a frame of wooden or plastic slats.
When creating fabric walls with your own hands, it is important to consider some important points:
Textile wallpapers as an alternative to fabric finishes
If it was not possible to choose the right type of fabric or living conditions do not allow the use of textiles, you can use textile wallpaper. Appearance a wall covered with textile wallpaper practically does not differ from a surface with a fabric finish - the texture of the material is preserved, and the seams between the canvases are invisible.
Textile wallpaper is formed by gluing threads on non-woven or paper base. They use linen and cotton threads, silk, jute, felt, acrylic, velor and viscose.
Textile wallpaper is applied to the leveled surface of the wall, gluing the canvases - end-to-end
The cost of textile wallpapers is from 10 to 80 dollars per 1 sq.m., the services of specialists in wallpaper stickers will cost from 5 dollars per 1 sq.m.
Using textiles to decorate walls is a time-tested method of decorating a living space. IN modern interior fabric drapery is a kind of synonym for such concepts as "elite finish", "refined taste" and "high style".
We continue the "series" about ways to decorate walls. There are already quite a lot of them, and now they are all placed
And this is a new gallery - about a fairly well-known in history, and now fashionable way- decor with fabric. We'll talk a little about history modern fashion and suggest ways original solutions without ruining the budget.
By the way, do you know that it was the fabric that was the great-grandmother modern wallpaper? After all, it was with it that the walls in the houses of the nobility were covered, while ordinary citizens simply whitewashed the walls. Well now the real ones fabric wallpaper- one of the most expensive lines, and it is found only in suppliers who have been producing wallpaper for at least 100 years, and environmentally friendly processing technologies are kept secret. But high price does not scare off true connoisseurs who have sufficient funds: decorating walls with fabric is an indicator of good taste and the ability to appreciate natural materials.
However, the high price of fabric compared to economical wallpaper is not a reason to deny yourself the pleasure of seeing this beauty on your walls. We (once again) prefer creative solutions that are economical, but at the same time look very original. We act locally - we create “pictures”, collages, panels and draperies from fabric, and then decorate the walls in our house with them.
There are two situations and several solutions to each of them:
Situation 1: you like the pattern and / or texture of the fabric, and you want to see it as a wall decor.
Original Solutions:
- stretch the fabric on a special frame (sold in Ikea) (photo 1, 11, 32, 33);
- create a beautiful drapery or hang a small cut pre-cut along the edges on a short cornice (photo 8 and 16);
- insert a fabric rectangle into the picture frame, attaching it to a rigid base (the fabric should be relatively thin!) (photo 2, 18, 19);
- strengthen a whole even canvas on a part of the wall and beat around the edges with molding (photo 3, 10, 15, 20);
- fasten a long, even canvas at the top of the wall and leave it hanging freely, like Japanese panels (photos 4 and 5);
- you can see ideas using an embroidery hoop (photo 13).
Situation 2: you are interested in getting a certain combination of fabrics different colors(shades of the same color) or attracted by fashionable needlework techniques.
Original Solutions:
- fabric collage (flat - something like an appliqué (photo 30) or a three-dimensional version (photo 31, 34) or drapery, reinforced on a rigid base (photo 29);
- quilting technique (quilt), a modern revival of patchwork, but more elegant drawing up of a pattern from polygonal details - as a result, a real carpet picture is born (photo 6, 7, 9, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35);
- use any of the solutions to situation 1, combining different fabrics.
And a couple of tips before viewing the pictures:
- the color of the fabric should be clearly different from the color of the rest of the wall space, even when viewed at a distance of 3-4 meters, choose harmonious combinations and do not be afraid to use contrasts;
- the more diverse the fabric pattern, the more uniform the surrounding wall should be;
- fabric decor can be an excellent color accent or “support” other interior items in the same colors;
- if you need to combine several pieces of furniture with different upholstery, look for these (or similar) fabrics on sale, create a collage of them, and then place it above the largest piece of furniture (for example, above the sofa).
