Fabric On Walls

A simple and easy way to get rid of barren old walls in your dorm room is to cover them up. However, wallpaper can be quite expensive, so we will use fabric from discount stores and clearance sales instead. Putting fabric on walls is much like wallpapering them though fabric is easier to remove and remains reusable. The fabric can be chosen according to your budget and taste. Interior Design

You may decide to cover the entire wall area, a border trim, half a wall, decorative frame for your notice board or even make your own wall mural using colorful pieces of fabric. While leaving the room at the end of the year, you can always remove the fabric, wash it well and reuse it for other purposes. Here are the methods to put and remove fabric on walls of your dormitory:
