A rod+curtains along the length of the wall=fabric walls…a softening feel…

Sometimes the walls in your space may need repair because they’re eyesores. You may not have the funds to put new drywall up so a cheaper alternative is a wall of fabric. Simply hanging a curtain rod to the highest point and draping curtain panels from end to end. You create so much drama and it leaves a softening romantic feel like this vintage glam space. The homeowner wanted to hide an odd window with a horrible view. It’s also a good way to make a cold industrial condo loft feel more cozy like this masculine loft. And one of my all time favorite spaces can be seen here.

I enjoy seeing high end glam homes that glaze our magazines but I also enjoy seeing how regular folks live. Something about a regular person’s home tour makes ideas feel more tangible to pull off. People’s creativity usually run wild when funds are limited. I also enjoy a good ol’ man cave. A man with home style makes this woman impressed…

Take this entry way. Living in a loft, oftentimes the look can feel cold and hard so to soften the walls, fabric was used. I love a fabric wall. It can be incredibly feminine like here or masculine. It depends on the fabric selected and a rich velvet in a dark hue does the trick. The horn table can be apart of my decor anyday…

The postcards one the wall is a cool idea for displays. Imagine if this were framed…it’s almost sculptural, like 3D art…

Custom faux finished walls in a metallic plaster in charcoal gray gives a worn leather look…
