Hi I just moved into an apartment and I"m having a hard time trying to decide what kind of fabric to put on the walls?? And if I can put fabric over old GROSS wall paper in the bathroom and kitchen??

My furniture is kind of an old country style and I want some inexpensive but nice touches?

Would that be too much fabric? I can't stand the cream on the walls now... my bed is white so I wanted to do an accent wall in fabric and then lots of pictures on the other???

Please help

You should find out first if the owner/landlord allows such changes to the decor.

They do allow improvements, as long as it is not painting? And I was told that fabric on the walls was a good option because it can be taken down??

Any ideas?

the 2 worst rooms in the house to use fabric on the walls would have to be the kitchen and the bathroom. especially the kitchen. do you not use hairspray? cook at all? take hot showers? ever have boiling spaghetti sauce splatter anywhere? i think you'd be sorry.

also, read all the past posts on why hanging anything or painting over an existing wallpaper is also a bad idea.
