A Fresh, New Look

What Type Of Wall Covering Should You Choose?

If you want to do something new to your walls but don't want to paint them, consider installing tile or fabric wallpaper to your walls instead. Tile and fabric wallpaper are two ways to add ambiance and style to your home without using paint. Learn more about tile and fabric wallpaper and how to install them below.

Tile

You may think tile is just for kitchens, floors, and bathrooms, but it isn't. You can use tile as a wall covering for living rooms, bedrooms, and even dens. Tile comes in a variety of shapes, colors, and materials, including mosaic and glazed. Most types of tile are generally easy to clean and work well in places that may be prone to moisture. 

If you choose tile for your wall covering, consult a painter or wallpaper hanger for guidance. A painter or wallpaper hanger can help you choose the tile that goes best for your living space. A professional will help you select a tile that fits the current decorations and furnishings in your home. You may also be able to custom-make the tile you need for your home. 

After you select the tile you need for your home, a professional will install it for you. The tile installation process can take time to complete. A professional must clean and prep your walls before they adhere tile to them. 

If tile isn't something you want to use for your walls, consider fabric wallpaper instead.

Fabric Wallpaper

Fabric wallpaper, or woven wallpaper, looks and functions similar to traditional wallpaper. However, fabric wallpaper is made with canvas, silk, twill, and many other materials. The materials may come in different textures as well, including soft and plush.

A painter or wallpaper hanger can help you select the right fabric wallpaper for your wall. However, the location must be a cool, dry place before you install it. Some fabrics require special care and may damage easily in humid conditions. So keep this in mind when you choose your fabric wallpaper.

If the hole in your wall is located in a good place, a professional will begin the installation of your wall covering. If a professional needs to clean and prep the wall prior to the installation, they'll do so. After a professional preps your walls, they complete the installation.
