Are you finding your home dull? A super cool way to renew the environment is by pasting fabric on the wall. That’s right! The technique is “pop” among those who love cool and cheap solutions to tidy up the house. The effect is just like a wallpaper, but with advantages. “Fabric renews any room”, says architect Flávia Pontes. The best thing is that you don’t need to hire a person to apply. “Wallpaper is tricky to install and blisters. Therefore, it is better to hire an expert. With fabric, however, it is easier to achieve a uniform effect and you can do it yourself”, says the architect. See how!

The fashion for fabrics on the wall fell like a glove for businesswoman Margaret Santos Silva. “I get bored very easily and I love changing!”, she says. At the beginning of the year, she decided to cover the bedroom wall with fabric to cover the patchwork she had made with wrapping paper. Margaret, who registers everything on the website margaretss.com.br, spent BRL 184* and it only took an hour to apply the fabric – with the help of her husband. “It’s super practical. Just be careful when measuring the wall. The one in my room, for example, is a little crooked; so I had to leave a good amount of excess so as not to run out of fabric on any side”, she teaches.
New wall in 1 hour. Yay!

Well-printed and colorful fabrics are great for transforming small corners of your home! That’s what stylist Ana Carolina Sanches did. She used a flowery cloth to make her apartment’s dining room more funky. “I wanted to do something other than painting. I thought of wallpaper, but the work was big and expensive”. Owner of the blog floresecoracoes.com.br, she found the solution in fabric. “It was beautiful and I only spent R$ 70.”

It can even be used in the bathroom
Putting tissue in the bathroom is a practical way to make this usually dull room more charming. For those who get sick of the tiles, it’s also wonderful! “It’s a way of changing without breaking walls”, says Cristiane Valim, from the blog Meninasdopano.blogspot.com.br. With her sister, Lorane, she has been installing fabrics professionally for four years in Goiânia. They charge R$ 50 per square meter. The trick, according to them, is not to put glue on the tile grout and stretch the fabric well.
Learn to lay the fabric
1. Remove mirrors from sockets and switches
2. Use thin nails to secure the fabric close to the ceiling. Don’t forget to leave a surplus.
3. Spread glue on a 30cm strip in the corner of the wall where you want to start the application. Glue the fabric to this strip, from ceiling to floor. Smooth the cloth with a ruler or spatula. When you’re done, do the same thing on another strip until you’re done with the wall.
4. Wait 15 minutes for the glue to dry. Trim the remaining fabric around the edges using a ruler and utility knife. Carefully remove the nails from step 2.
5. Cut a hole smaller than the mirror and place the leftover fabric under the outside of the mirror.
6. To finish, use a medium thickness San Francisco cord. Just hot glue it to the four corners of the wall.
7. Your wall is ready. Remember: the most suitable fabrics for covering
the walls are fit for tapestry,
thicker, firmer and easier to stick
