This is a fact: the wall is no longer perceived as a background for furniture, paintings - and nothing more. Rather like a work of art

The walls covered with fabric are good in rooms with a representative function - hall, living room, dining room, study-reception. Fabrics chosen mainly silk, often with a contrasting golden pattern on a darker field. Such fabrics are well combined with gilded architectural details, gilding on furniture and mirrors. As for the color of silk, it can be a warm light tone, like, for example, this golden-cream-colored striped fabric, as well as warm pink, beige, and green. Or, on the contrary, cold - blue or blue, which, according to the laws of color compatibility, is complementary to ocher and therefore is so effectively combined with gold. A no less refined option is to paste over the walls with wallpaper imitating fabric (silk, velvet) or wall painting. Wallpaper must be handmade, made according to the old technologies. Lovely irregularities characteristic of such wallpaper, give the interior a special charm.
