We hope this video guide on how to hang textile wall coverings has been of use, remember within textile Wallcoverings you can find a number of fibres and finishes but the most common are. Silk Wallpapers where the hand woven wild silk creates a look that distinguishes silk wallcoverings from any other. Linen Wallpapers where high quality flax is used to create a naturally luxurious finish. Grasscloth Wallpapers feature a variety of natural forms and materials such as sisal, jute and reed. The majority of textile wallcoverings are non-woven which makes the hanging of them a lot easier as it uses the paste the wall, rather than paste the wallpaper, method.
