A plain white wall can be transformed into a trendy or themed wall by utilizing a special designer fabric. This project can be done in a few hours time, it isn’t permanent and is simple to peel off when needed. Installing a fabric feature wall can be done with a fabulous fabric from a designer, a few materials found around the house or store, and the execution of several steps.
The first step, of course, is purchasing the fabric. Buying from a furniture or fabric designer can yield a one-of-a-kind custom wall fabric. Custom Wall Fabric in Long Island NY can be found from furniture makers such as Interiors By CJ Landa at . Once the fabric is chosen, decorators can gather supplies for the project.
They will need 8 yards of 54″ of the decorator fabric per 8ft x 12-14 ft wall and a quart of liquid starch. Other items, such as a tape measure, pencil, 4-foot level, paint tray, plastic tray liner, paint roller, cover, extension pole, and scissors should be collected. A rotary cutter, yardstick, and step ladder will also come in handy.
Once the items are gathered, they can begin creating their wall. The first step is to remove nails and screws from the surface, and then patch holes and remove outlet covers. The tape measure can be used to find the center point that will then be marked with a pencil. Decorators should then measure and mark a space that’s half the fabric’s width on the left of the center point. Next, they must place the level vertically on this half mark and make a line from ceiling to floor; this will be the guide used to hang fabric panels.
Although the Wall Fabric in Long Island NY may be beautiful, it will have to be cut. Trimming edges and cutting fabric can be done with scissors or a rotary cutter. The wall’s height should be measured, adding a few inches for patterned fabric, then the panels cut. The process truly begins by pouring starch into a paint tray then rolling it onto the center section of the wall. Next, a sturdy step ladder should be used to stand on and align the panel’s top left side with the line for installing the first panel. Wrinkles can be pressed by hand, and fabric shifted to make sure it’s straight, then rolled with starch. After this, additional panels should be cut.
