Covering Your Walls With Fabric

Why not use mirrors, light paint on ceiling and light colored carpet and window treatments. You can also use painted screens or art panels hung on the walls. I would not use anything over beautiful wood paneling for fear of ruining the finish. Good luck.

I am envisioning fabric on the upper half of the wall, with wood paneling on the bottom? Right? Sounds good. Is there some place where you could try a patch of this to see if it sticks and to see what happens to the wood underneath? A painted wall is more durable than some kinds of wall paneling. I would do a test spot first.

This is a great way to cover up blah walls. I did this on a painted wall and removed it when I sold my house. the faberic starch stays in the fabric and not on the wall, when you remove the fabric it will be stiff from all of the starch. Just wash and use again. Starch is not a glue so your corners might peel away, just reapply more starch.

I think it would hurt the paneling.

Does anyone know how to use liquid starch to cover your walls with fabric? We live in a mobile home.

I have textured/bumpy walls. Will I be able to hang semi-heavy weight fabric (gabardine) on my walls with liquid starch like wallpaper? Will I need to sand my walls or use wallpaper liner in order to do this?
