Study Walls In Rosa Bernal Fabric

November 01, 2020/ Hepzabeth Evans

I was delighted when Kate Guinness Designs got in touch after our initial meeting last July to discuss covering the walls of a study in a printed linen called Sevilla by The Rosa Bernal Collection.

For the study Kate asked me to use the ‘clean edge method’ of stretched fabric walling which meant there was no need for a braid or piping at the end to finish the wall; the fabric is neatly tucked into a hidden system that frames the wall edges.

On this project I stretched and fixed the fabric onto a con-caved wall following the lines of the study. Slightly more challenging yet but nonetheless very effective was to pattern-match three cupboard doors to blend into the room seamlessly. Kate also choose clear electrical plate facings which were covered in fabric made to pattern match against the wall, hidden and camouflaged.

Textile Wall Company

The Textile Wall Company works with the UKs top Interior Designers and Fabric Houses specialising in wall upholstery, a unique skill where fabric is stitched and applied over a padded wall. Wall upholstery delivers a luxurious finish as an alternative to wall paper or paint.

TRADITIONAL

With traditional wall upholstery, the fabric is stapled and a custom trim is used to cover the staples. There are varied trim choices from a flat trim made of fabric, a double or single welt, a gimp or tape trim, a custom wood filet and more.

OTHER IDEAS

Bulletin boards, bookcase panels, drawer upholstery, armoire upholstery, window shutters. Leather wall panels, woven leather, fake leather, desktop panel, toilet seats, and more!
