Fabric wall coverings are a great way to add dramatic texture to your walls. Many homeowners choose fabric as an alternative to stucco to cover walls with cracks, nicks or imperfections, or to further sound-proof a room. Padded fabric applied to walls can be effective soundproofing. Foam or plywood makes ideal wall padding. The foam or plywood can then be covered with your desired patterned fabric. For a truly unique wall covering, pleated fabrics can add depth and life to flat, boring walls. When covering walls with fabric make sure to pre-measure your fabrics leaving extra length to cover the wall from floor to ceiling and pleat the fabric. Fabric can be stapled to the wall in horizontal or vertical pre-cut panels. The fabric panels should be overlapped on the edges in order to hide the corners and staples. Cotton, silk, linen, plaid and velvet fabrics are popular fabric wall coverings
