Why Choose Textile Wallcoverings?
Before diving into the installation steps, it’s important to understand why textile wallcoverings are a game-changer in modern interiors. Unlike traditional wallpapers, textile wallcoverings:
Add a tactile, luxurious feel with natural or woven fibers.
Offer acoustic benefits by softening sound in a room.
Create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.
Provide higher durability compared to thin, paper-based wallpapers.
Elevate walls with depth, texture, and timeless patterns.
By choosing ANB Décor’s textile wallcoverings, you’re investing in products sourced from global design houses, crafted to perfection, and designed to meet the highest standards of quality.
Step 1: Prepare the Wall Surface
The first and most important step is preparation. A flawless wall surface ensures that your textile wallcovering adheres properly and looks seamless once installed.
Clean the wall: Remove dust, dirt, or grease. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth if necessary.
Smoothen the wall: Fill in cracks, holes, or imperfections with putty or filler. Sand down rough patches to create a smooth surface.
Prime the wall: For textile wallcoverings, applying a primer or lining paper helps prevent adhesive absorption into the wall, making installation smoother and easier to adjust.
Step 2: Gather the Tools & Materials
Having the right tools at hand ensures efficiency during installation. Here’s what you’ll need:
Textile wallcovering rolls (from ANB Décor’s collection)
Sharp utility knife or blade
Measuring tape and ruler
Level or plumb line
Adhesive recommended for textile wallcoverings
Large brush or roller for adhesive application
Smoothing brush or plastic spatula
Clean cloth or sponge to wipe away excess adhesive
Pro Tip: Always check the product label or consult with ANB Décor for adhesive recommendations, as textile wallcoverings often require a specific paste suitable for heavy materials.
Step 3: Measure & Cut the Wallcovering
Precise measurements are key to a perfect finish.
Measure the height of the wall and add about 5–cm extra on both top and bottom to allow trimming.
Cut the textile wallcovering into panels accordingly.
Pay attention to the pattern (if any) to ensure alignment from one panel to the next.
For large-scale patterns, always match the designs before cutting the next strip. This avoids mismatched seams and ensures a visually appealing finish.
Step 4: Apply the Adhesive
For textile wallcoverings, adhesive is typically applied directly to the wall instead of the fabric.
Using a roller or brush, apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the wall area where the first panel will go.
Cover slightly more width than one panel to ensure complete coverage.
Avoid over-applying adhesive as it can seep through the fabric.
This step requires precision—too much adhesive can stain the wallcovering, while too little may cause bubbles or peeling.
Step 5: Hang the First Panel
This step sets the tone for the entire installation.
Position the first cut panel at the top of the wall, ensuring it aligns perfectly with a plumb line.
Gently press the wallcovering against the wall starting from the top, smoothing downward with your hands.
Use a smoothing brush or spatula to remove air bubbles, moving from the center outward.
Wipe off any excess adhesive at the edges with a damp cloth immediately.
Remember: The first panel is crucial. If it’s crooked, the rest of the panels will also shift, so take your time to get it right.
Step 6: Align & Install the Remaining Panels
Once the first panel is secure, proceed with the rest:
Apply adhesive to the next wall section.
Place the second panel edge-to-edge with the first, ensuring patterns align seamlessly.
Smooth down carefully and wipe off excess adhesive at the seams.
Repeat the process for all panels until the wall is fully covered.
Textile wallcoverings tend to be thicker than standard wallpapers, so seams are usually less visible, but precision is still important.
Step 7: Trim Excess & Finish Edges
After all panels are installed:
Use a sharp utility knife to trim the excess fabric at the ceiling, skirting, and corners.
Smooth down edges with a roller to ensure they are firmly adhered.
Double-check for bubbles or lifting edges and press them down.
Step 8: Aftercare & Maintenance
One of the benefits of textile wallcoverings is their durability. With minimal care, they can last for years:
Dust walls regularly with a vacuum or soft brush attachment.
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals—use a damp sponge for spot cleaning.
Maintain room humidity to prevent stretching or shrinking of fabric-based wallcoverings.
Why Professionals Can Make It Easier
While it’s possible to install textile wallcoverings yourself, many clients prefer ANB Décor’s professional installation service. Our trained Karigars bring years of expertise, ensuring every seam is aligned and every corner finished to perfection. With textile wallcoverings, professional handling reduces the risk of adhesive stains, pattern mismatches, or material wastage.
