- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2023
- I am so glad that I finally built up the nerve to try this idea for removable fabric wallpaper. It adds so much charm and coziness to our room already and it's not even finished. This project is pretty straight forward, and I hope my experience gives you the courage to try it out for yourself. Thanks so much for hanging out with me today.

I have done this twice to my dining room. The starch works so well and does zero damage to wall. If you want to cover old wallpaper it works great. I use cotton "duck" cloth. Spray bottle with starch on wall, on back of cloth, apply to wall and smooth. Use pushpins to hold wet fabric on. Do not prewash fabric to keep crisp new fabric look and feel. Do be aware fabric will shrink as it dries so be generous around edges. Mine has stayed flawlessly for years. Pulls off super easy. Wipe down walls with water after removal.
I just love how Dan just supports your creativity and all of your beautiful ideas, so cool to see a husband supporting their wife's creativity.
Absolutlely! Most men would NOT go for such "feminine" projects.
He’s a good one for sure and pretty neutral on most home related design choices. He enjoys that I enjoy a pretty room 💛
@@OldWorldHome- My husband is the same. We never argue about anything home-related. I’m very blessed!❤
You amaze me how you aren’t afraid to jump into projects. I don’t think I would be brave enough to tackle doing fabric wallpaper. The love you put into your home shows because it is truly beautiful. Have a wonderful day😊
It looks awesome Hilary. I’ve used the same technique to cover the glass on my laundry room door with lace. The liquid starch is a bit messy but drys completely and you can’t tell at all how it’s been applied. The result looks charming as well as gives a bit of privacy to a door that opens directly to my neighbors back lawn. I’m able to wipe them down with a cloth if at all dirty, If I feel they need to be washed, I then simply peel them off and after gently laundering I reapply with the same process. I’ve actually done this on other glass projects and windows for a number of years. It’s very economical and adds so much charm to what could have been an awkward decorative challenge. I can’t wait to see your room finished. It makes me want to do a focal wall in my bedroom and perhaps even to the dining area of my home. ❤
is the fabric still soft and fabric-like after the starch dried up ?
The kids in our church made a mural in the community/classroom space this way. They used strips of fabric to make different shapes and it’s so beautiful. I look forward to seeing the final result on this project when you get there!
Love that idea!
For the sharp blade to cut the fabric along the woodwork, maybe a rotary cutter would work. They're used to cut fabric for quilting and the blade rolls, so it shouldn't be able to "pull" or "catch" the fabric. It looks beautiful!
Great minds think alike! 😁
This would be a complete nightmare to me. hahahaha I would probably NEVER attempt this because I would get too overwhelmed and give up. What a pleasure it was watching you undertake this project. it looks absolutely lovely!
I was thinking the same! I would be so overwhelmed! Hilary is so talented and calm!
You are a DIY and home improvement machine! I truly think there may be nothing you cannot do. I have a super creative friend in Portugal who bought an old abandoned farm. She's recreating it with such style and vision and all with second hand materials. I joke with her about knitting a car from the spare parts and equipment lying around. I'm sure you could knit a car or two! Brava!
I can’t wait to see it finished. 😊 My mother (now in her 90s) has mentioned putting up fabric “wallpaper” as a young homemaker using starch.
Turned out so pretty. I'm so happy I found your video. I just did a similar treatment in my dining room with board and batten wall to 6ft and the top two feet I did fabric because wallpaper would've been too expensive. So I picked a pretty fabric with birds similar to the wallpaper I liked. This treatment is less permanent and didn't break the bank.
Awe Hillary, Absolutely Beautiful. My Precious Mom did this in her formal dining room in the 70’s and it was absolutely beautiful. You remind me of her with your decor style. Thank You so much for sharing and bringing back memories I had forgotten. God Bless. Sending love all the way from Alabama,Chrissie ♥️🙏
Wow Hillary and Dan, I never cease to be amazed by your teamwork and creativity. I had not heard of applying fabric to the walls before. Very inspiring indeed.
When my middle daughter graduated from college, she moved home for a time. We redecorated her room to be more adult and one wall was done with fabric and starch. That was in 2012 and the wall still looks great.
I love it!!! I love to wallpaper! Great fabric choice! I'm watching you from the hospital as I just gave birth to our 6th baby. Thanks for keeping me company!
Congratulations Mary!! God bless you and your sweet babe 💛
You are brave and amazing! Love the fabric and I can tell your bedroom is going to be so cozy. Can't wait to see the project completed!!
I’ve never heard of this! Filing that idea away….I like the look of wallpaper; but my husband, who’s had to remove a lot of wallpaper, would run away if I installed it 😂!
I’m a teacher and I love to use fabric on my bulletin boards rather than paper. Such a beautiful job, Hilary!
Eeeek! Thank you for taking us along with this project Hillary-- I also have been curious about trying this trick for years! You chose a great fabric and color; can't wait to see the finished result!
I've never even heard of this! Well done. Can't wait to see the end result.
Great job Hilary!! My friend and her sister did this treatment to their first apartment back in the 80’s. I thought it was so cool 😁 Yours looks fantastic! It makes your bedroom look so cozy💖
Wow! You are so courageous! That sounds like quite a big job, and you are doing a fantastic job! It's beautiful!
My Grandma used to do this with her cabinets to put flowers and what not on them and Lace on the Windows/Door Windows, and she'd change them out for holidays/seasons.
You truly inspire me! Your creativity but also your patience and positivity! I truly would love to try this! Thank you so much for sharing!
I can’t wait to see it when you are completely finished with the room makeover. My mom used fabric backed wallpaper, but not fabric itself. I have heard of it though.
What an undertaking….you continue to amaze me . Your room looks so fresh and pretty. Looking forward to the Bedroom reveal when everything is complete. 🤗👏
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see full results!
I was so scared/stressed when you were describing what you planned to do, but you rocked it and it looks really amazing!🎉
I had never heard of this. You are so talented! I can’t wait to see the finished product, I know it will be spectacular.
When it comes to decorating your home you always have such good ideas. That is so pretty I love it
What about those rotary cutting tools for cutting I would definitely put a straightedge against whatever I was cutting that it would make it so much easier in those things are sharp I do a lot of leather and they are awesome
I’m old lol 65 and I did that in our home in the 80s lol ❤️
Oh heavens, your a brave couple! I remember my parents doing something similar in the mid 1960’s using burlap and paint--LOTS of paint. I wasn’t sure my parents would survive this project but they did and it looked so neat!
I was amazed at this video. I became curious about this technique and checked out some you tube videos and was surprised to see there are some How Tos on the subject. The beige gingham you used is a lovely background to your curated vintage and antique furniture. Very You. Lovely. 🤗
I love this! You always amaze me with how much you do in a day! Your home is beautiful.! I remember in the 80’s this and feather painting was popular. A friend and I feather painted all the bedrooms in both our homes. 😆
Good times!!
I did sponge painting! Ugggh!😮
As always, you and Dan did a great job! Not sure why there are so many comments about checks being difficult to line up, since you have already completed over 90% of it and it looks very well aligned to me. I vote for a floral fabric on your lamp shades. And I think you should pull a color from your duvet cover and matching drapes to paint the lingerie chest. I think it will look so much better a different color. Looking forward to seeing the completed room (I hope you finally find some crown moulding that you like). Blessings!❤
Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Looks great so far
I enjoyed this Hillary. I did this on the inset panel of a kitchen cabinet in my old house years ago. It turned out so nice and cleans up easy. Thanks for sharing. 😊
That is looking gorgeous! You can maybe use the fabric to put in bottoms of the dresser once you paint it.
OOh love that idea!
It looks beautiful never thought to use fabric vs. standard wallpaper but I love it!
I just love it! Amazed at your creativity!
Good work! It reminds me of grass cloth panels where the idea isn't to match each panel but to let each one stand on its own. It's beautiful! Fabric and wallpaper has become really expensive in Ontario so it makes me very nervous to attempt anything on my own but you did a great job 👍
Yes that’s what I was thinking. The fabric here in Ontario would have been very expensive 😕
I was just thinking today about doing that to my foyer and here you are doing it to your bedroom lol. Great job! Love it
Let me know if you try it!
I can't wait for you to show us when it's all finished I thought wallpaper was becoming outdated I'm sure it's going to look beautiful
It’s back!!! And in a big way!!! Large patterns are the most popular right now
I once knew a lady that had a beautiful Tudor home. She used fabric as a large molding around her rooms, also covered refrigs,tables, doors on cabinet. Of course all different fabrics patterns. It was gorgeous, all very nouveau style. Beautiful.
Oooh my gosh! I did this same thing back in the 80’s!!
I did exactly like you have! It took me a long while to finally get the project underway and I only did ONE wall!
It went much faster than I imagined. I used a sponge to put the paste / starch up to adhere the fabric.
It appears as though you are doing a great job!!!! A much larger project than I would have undertaken!!
Congratulations!!
The fabric I chose was floral, and it was a challenge matching the print.
Looks gorgeous. Many thanks. Going to use a black and white check ❤
Amazing...You are so brave! Looks so complicating, but I can see it going to look beautiful!
I look forward to seeing the room finished!!
That French Provincial lingerie dresser.... I had that whole set with the canopy bed when I was a little girl in the 70's. I love it!!! The top Finial my friend Wendy and I would take off and pretend it was a microphone, we were pretending to be Olivia Newton-John. Oh the memories! Everything is looking beautiful!
Oh my goodness that’s adorable 😊 Fun memories!
You've done a marvelous job!
A dusty or sage green or even a slightly darker green would look beautiful for the chest of drawers, I think!
Good morning, Hilary!
I'm thrilled you decided to try this technique as I've been considering it for a while. Great fabric choice and lovely room design. Looking forward to the next phase!
Love, love ❤️ 😍 Now, I'm figuring out where I can hang some fabric wallpaper!! Love the gingham, too...
Turning out so beautiful love the choice great job brave
I've done it on furniture before also it turned out very pretty when my daughters were young
Love the.molding Hilary...you're brave to take on that project...my parents owned a 3 decker apt home and when they got new tenants they would always re paper the bedrooms because it was an old building and walls were not even. Can't wait to see end results.
I can't wait to see the finished product! I may have to try it. We have a fabric store in CT where everything is 2.99 a yard.
Go for it!
What a TROOPER Hilary! That is ,as you mentioned a scary project. Dan is great he never seems to disagree with your decorating sense, and seems completely supportive. I think it’s fabulous. When my son was little and I was a young ambitious woman like you, fabric wall paper was all the rage. I decided I was going to do a guest half bathroom. I purchased soft floral fabric and it was easy and I even did the ceiling. It really looked incredible and it was fun. I was renting and when I left I just took it down, and used a mop( no swiffer back then)to clean the walls, then washcloth to clean a 2nd time. You would have never known The walls looked fresh afterward. I think it’s a good idea to paint the small dresser. Excellent work ! Life is all about taking risks at times 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤ oh check your email 🙋🏻♀️
So beautiful!
Wow, amazing! You always do amazing Hilary.....enjoyed, thanks for sharing!
What?? I haven’t heard of this before. How fun! Can’t wait to see the finished room.
This looks lovely Hillary, you could make a quilt with the fabric!
I love your creatively!
Love ur DYI attitude! Inspirational
Thanks for sharing! I love this idea.
That looks so beautiful already! Can't wait to see it all finished! What a project! I would love to try this, but it's so intimidating to me.😬
Honestly that’s what took me so long, but once I started it wasn’t complicated, just a little time consuming. A great way to spend a couple nap times with a good book
Such a brave endeavour. Where I’m from the fabric would have cost a fortune 😕, and my concern would be the dried starch on fabric attracting more dust. Looking forward to the end results. Reminds me of my grandmas house that I loved.
I live in north new jersey and had no snow
I love how your room is turning out. Can't wait to see the finished product
I'm originally from Hunterdon & Warren Co. NJ.
Now I will say when I saw the technique years ago they put the fabric into the starch and wrung it out and applied it to the wall. Yours turned out beautiful, I think I will try it. I'm only using it in very small spaces.
Can't wait to see the finished project. I noticed the pins in the wall in the last video. I did not know what they were.
Great job. Very brave of you to tackle.
Whoa! Huge, huge project.
Way more than I would undertake. Maybe an accent wall but an entire room would be so overwhelming, I wouldn't be able to tackle it.
Wondering why you went with fabric and not just wallpaper. Wallpaper would be easier and so many options for color and design, close to the fabric you selected.
I agree that the chest is too yellow now and will look good painted, it's such a nice piece and fits perfectly.
Anxious to see the finished room, all your projects turn out beautifully.
My mom did this for an accent wall in my bedroom in the 1970's.
It was a rental and it came right off with no problem when we moved.
Love it! ❤ would love to try.
WOW Hilary!!!! This is something I could never do 😂. LOL, I was feeling anxious just watching you do it 😂. Kudos to you 👏🏻. I felt a little better at the end when you said it can easily be taken down and you can wash the walls 😁. I love the pattern you chose. I just ordered kitchen curtains that are the same color and checked pattern. Excellent job, it looks beautiful.👏🏻😁❤️
Agreeing! Hillary, this video made me anxious too. I had to skip to the end to see if it turned out! To be fair, Hubby and I spent 10 hours last Saturday wallpapering our kitchen so it was probably some PTSD. 🙂 We used 3 rolls and had to order one more. Ours is a soft green gingham and I love it. I think your bedroom will be like a jewel box like Jennifer L. Scott describes in one of her videos. 😍
You are a brave soul.
I don’t think I would have tried it on the entire room…just in case.
But it looks pretty darn good!
Like the look and I am sure it was way cheaper than buying wallpaper.
You go girl!
You’ve done a great job; it looks beautiful! A friend and I were just talking about trying this last week. We saw a tutorial in Miss Mustard Seeds latest book.
You're so creative and all your projects turn out great... Can't wait to see the end project! Also curious what color you paint the dresser.
Very cool! I read about doing this years ago.Military spouses did this on base housing. Easily taken down!
The crown looks so beautiful! I am inspired to try this - all the wallpaper I find that I love is from the UK and costs $200 a roll!
You should take a look at the latest Laura Ashley wallpapers in the uk...superb 👌
Mercy Hillary, you’re a better woman than I am! I’ve done my share of actual wallpapering, but I would never tackle applying fabric to the walls! How many yards of fabric did you end up having to buy and did you find it cost effective?
Goodwill will be my go to for this project
You are so courageous to take on fabric covered walls much less matching squares and lines. Looking forward to seeing finished walls
It looks great!! I am looking forward to the reveal. 🙋🏿♀️🤗
I’ve done a ton of wallpapering over the years. Checks are not a good choice for walls or ceilings that are not plumb. It shows up every defect, such as wavy lines. Good luck to you 👍
I know when you're finished it will be absolutely lovely. It reminds me of someone from the victorian days has moved to the wild west and made their room like the one they left behind. When we lived in the west we went to a lot of ghost towns. Have you decided on the crown molding color? I love the fabric. Great job.
Love! Beautiful job! 👍👍❤️
Really amazing!!
Looks great so far! When it comes time to use a sharp knife to cut the fabric you need a big metal ruler to put against the fabric, that ruler will keep the fabric taut so you don't pull the fabric away from the wall and corners as you cut and also serves to give you a straight cut.
Military wives use to do it. I never had the money for it. Only problem is you have to watch the dark colors for bleeding on the wall. Also, when you move out that wall has to pass military moveout inspection. So, all the starch has to be off. It is tedious removing it but hot water and lots of rubbing takes it off. Depends on the paint under neath too. Lasted some of my friends for the couple of years they would be in a place. Has a big impact on the room to make it look yours. Vacuum the walls to remove dust. Re starch it if it comes loose. Had a friend who did her whole kitchen in it, even making a border out of another pattern but matching. Looked fabulous. When she moved out could not tell it was on the wall. Looked like wallpaper. She used steam iron to remove it and spray bottle of vinegar water.
You have made such a easy to watch video of your fabric wallpaper. Thanks for that. I have done this before in a previous home but to cover my washer and dryer that did not match, it worked well. Now in my present home I want to try this technique on three windows over my Jacuzzi tub in my master bathroom. Currently there are old metal mini blinds on the windows. I could not find any liquid starch in my area, but I did find some spray starch. I am hoping the fabric will adhere to the glass with the spray starch and stay there. Wish me luck!
The Nightingale was hard for me to get in to at first. But, since I was reading for book club I stuck to it and did eventually get into it and it was really, really good. Walls look great.
WOW, I was over whelmed just watching, I am impressed !!!!! Curious why you didn't use wallpaper. With all that being said, I LOVE it....charming, cozy, beautiful...just adds so much to the room!!!!!!! Can't go wrong with gingham !
Love it!!
Wow! That’s a lot of work!
My Mom did this in the 70's Great Job!!
I'm so intrigued by this. I've never seen actual fabric like that put on the walls. Years ago I dated a guy that his house had fabric wallpaper. The fabric was attached to vinyl type stuff that had glue like old fashioned wall paper. I'll be so interested in seeing the final project.
That probably was a flocked wallpaper to touch felt like suede.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HILLARY! WAY to go...SHARED TO THE BURGH
Wow you are ambitious.
Very ambitious project. Good for you ! I am a paint person lol, Easy, creative, effective and easily changeable. You are doing a wonderful job on this project. Thanks for sharing🥰🌱🌷💐☘💗✝
Oh this is so cool ❤
