  • Liquid Starch (I find the liquid is easier to work with than the spray) (had on hand).
  • Fabric in the size, color and pattern of your choosing (I used ~1.5 yards of 60″ wide duck cloth, purchased on sale and using a coupon from Joann Fabrics.) ($7).
  • Okay! Disclaimer done, let me show you how easy this is! To do this project as pictured, you will need: To me, filling/sanding/re-painting holes is not a big deal, but if you are in a home where no nails are allowed, you may want to consider alternative methods for trimming out your fabric! However, I decided to trim out my fabric wall panel with wood trim and nails as well as hang my art using nails, all of which put holes in the wall. The fabric installation on the wall is 100% renter-friendly and won’t damage your walls at all upon removable. So…yep…that big square of green on Henry’s bedroom wall is not paint, it is fabric! Bright kelly green, 60″ wide duck cloth to be exact!Īlthough I had a few hiccups along the way (more about that in a minute), I was so pleasantly surprised how quick and easy this project was. This project was quick, simple, inexpensive, and added a major wow factor to Henry’s bedroom…all in a way that is completely removable and can come down when we move out!Ī quick note about my “renter-friendly” attribution. I have been wanting to try the “hang fabric as wallpaper” project for ages, and considering my dimensions and the look I was going for, I knew it was the perfect solution for this mini feature wall! However, when I took a friendly bet to not paint any walls this year, I was left searching for an alternative method for adding a big dose of colors to the wall. Not only would this help the white frames work a little better in the space, but it would also add a major and much-needed pop of color on the other side of the room. I knew I wanted to hang them over his stretch of dressers in the same arrangement as last time, but I was really struggling with the all white and bright frames on our beige-ish-pinky rental walls.Įarly on, I came up with the idea of adding a block of color behind the frames. These four animal prints from Henry’s last bedroom have been sitting in his closet since we unpacked over the summer. And gosh, I am just so excited about how it turned out! It wasn’t hard or all that time-consuming, it just had to make its way to the top of the list. This project has been on my mind and my to-do list pretty much since we moved in, and I am so excited to finally have it done. I’ve made some fun (and long-awaited!) progress in Henry’s bedroom this past weekend with a new fabric feature wall, and I am super excited to share it with you today as my next installment of the Renter-Friendly Walls series!

    As I briefly mentioned a few posts ago, we have a few jam-packed weeks on our family calendar, and I’m doing all I can to keep up! On a few occasions this past week, sleep and my sanity won out over a new blog post. Happy Wednesday, friends! Before I dive into today’s post, a quick apology for my erradic posting schedule this week and last.
