A type of wall covering made of natural materials, including cotton, silk, wool and linen. These types of wall coverings offer a more pleasant and warmer feeling than traditional paper, which makes them popular choices for interior design.
Textile Wallcoverings come in a variety of designs, shapes and colors that can be used in conjunction with other parts of home decoration to create a more harmonious and integrated design. These wall coverings are also available in a wide range of lengths and widths, so you can find one that suits the size of your room.
Some wallcoverings are hung with a paste that is made of cellulose, a substance found in green plants, such as cotton, hemp, and wood pulp. This paste is a non-staining, odorless wallcovering adhesive and is commonly used in hanging natural materials such as grasscloths, linens, and silks.
Other textile wallcoverings are hung with lining or liner paper that absorbs excess moisture from the wallpaper to allow it to dry sooner and promote short term stability of the installation. Lining or liner paper is typically a white or light color, and can be rolled over the seams of the fabric before they are glued to the wall.
Textile wallcoverings are often molded or textured and may have a raised pattern. Some are breathable and allow air to pass through the wallpaper, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. They also are durable and scratch-resistant, making them ideal for areas of high traffic such as kitchens and restrooms.
