Upholstery-The New Wallpaper

Stepping into world renowned hotels like the George V Paris, Danieli in Venice, or Ritz London you are surrounded by European elegance from the “authorities”.  You take in the rich timeless furniture, draperies, and details.  Yet at the heart of it are the gorgeous upholstered walls that exude luxury and lay the canvas for precious art, and to ultimately elevate style and mood.  This added layer of texture creates the feeling of being wrapped in comfort while remaining stately and distinguished.

The misconception that a fabric covered wall lies only in the area of traditional home is highly mistaken.  Upholstery can be easily translated into contemporary and modern homes giving an added warmth to a minimal space with clean lines.  Whether creating a backdrop for a bedroom or being the art in and of itself in the following two dining rooms, it’s as if the walls are alive with creativity and make way for furniture to be simple and not fussy.

A fabric wall can be playful and light like in the sitting area below.  The fabric is outlined with studs, and antlers were added for a touch of whimsy to keep the room from being too serious.

If you want to get the look but not committed to an entire room with upholstered walls, try creating a tufted wall to be your headboard.  This will create a striking affect and be functional for comfort and quiet. Adding a tufted wall or panel to a reading area can bring warmth to the space while adding visual interest as well.
