Turn Fabric into Wallpaper

Fiona Says: "If you have a favorite fabric, but they don't make a matching wallpaper, have the fabric paper-backed so it can be hung as wallpaper. It's more interesting than typical wallpaper because it is more textural. Even a simple solid linen looks fantastic."

In this room: A graphic fabric on the walls dominates the scheme, but the spaciousness of the room keeps it from overpowering.
