Wall coverings come in many forms and materials, such as wood panels, tiles, cork, or wallpaper. A lesser-known but very luxurious option for the wall is wall textile.

Give your home personality with living room wallcoverings

The living room is the heart of the home. It’s where you unwind after a long day and gather with family and friends. That’s why it’s crucial for the living room to exude the right atmosphere. Your walls, along with the floor, lay the foundation for this. Bare walls are often less inviting and impersonal, and your home should truly be your sanctuary. With a stylish stamp on the walls, your living room will truly come to life. And DWC wall textiles are undoubtedly a stylish stamp. No matter your taste, our living room wall coverings will make it truly feel like home.

Types of living room wall coverings

  • Wooden wall coverings
  • Tiles
  • Stone
  • Cork wallcoverings
  • Plants as wallcoverings
  • Plastic wallcoverings
  • Wallpaper

There are a wide variety of wall coverings available, from tiles to cork, wood to stone, and even a moss wall. However, not all options are equally suitable for the living room. Tiles can appear cold and feel chilly, while wood may be rough on your furniture.

Linen wallcoverings

Transform your living room with a unique touch of elegance through linen wallcovering. Linen adds a natural and sophisticated look to your space. If you’re seeking a beautiful, basic and serene living area with an exclusive atmosphere, linen wallcovering is the perfect choice. The textures of linen offer a distinctive and personalized appearance to your walls.

Linen is a 100% natural material, made from flax, a plant that is also used to produce linseed oil. Linen is mainly produced in Belgium and northern France, and the flax fiber from this region is renowned for its high quality. Our linen wallcovering comes from Belgium, ensuring top-notch quality.

Velvet wallcoverings

Velvet exudes luxury, instantly adding a special touch to your living room. Its soft fabric creates a chic hotel look and feel, perfect for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere or a romantic interior. But don’t be mistaken, velvet can also be the right choice for a modern look.

Traditionally made from silk, velvet can now be crafted from cotton or polyester. This European technique, embraced in France and Italy, weaves small loops to create a soft and often shiny fabric with short, fluffy fibers standing upright. All of our velvet wall coverings are made in Italy.

Our collection offers a wide range of different types of velvet wall textiles, including Tartan, Suave, Sandstone, Wallstreet, Grunge, Nemorosa, Pietra and Bobcat.

Silk wall coverings

Silk exudes luxury. It’s the perfect fabric for your living room. When you’re looking for an exclusive look, silk is the perfect choice. Our silk wall textiles are elegant and subtle with a woven pattern. The raw weaving provides a unique rustic look, but the shine of the silk makes it look very chic.

Our silk wall textiles are produced in India and come in two different types: Matka silk and Dupion silk. We also offer two types of silk wall textiles: Musa and Silk in twenty different colors. From natural brown and gray tones to brighter colors like gold, antique green, and peach pink.

Jacquard wallcoverings

Looking for something truly exceptional for your living room? Choose Jacquard woven textiles, an exclusive application for your walls that transforms any living space into a remarkable room. Jacquard produces striking patterns and unique effects.

The weaving process allows for multiple color tones to be integrated into the fabric, and Jacquard looms make it possible to create complex patterns mechanically, such as brocade and damask. That’s why our Jacquard wall coverings often feature eye-catching patterns with different structures, creating depth in the fabric.

Jacquard is not a fabric, but a weaving technique. Jacquard woven wall textiles can be made from various materials such as cotton, viscose, linen, and polyester.

Our collection includes five types of Jacquard woven wall textiles: Caribou, Boogy Woogie, and Dune.

Installation of living room wall textiles

Applying wall textiles is not the same as applying paper wallpaper. Textiles are heavier and more susceptible to stains. Therefore, we always recommend having wall textiles installed by a professional.

Do you still prefer to do it yourself? Then please note the following:

  • Calculate how many linear meters you need.
  • When calculating, always take into account the direction of the pattern and the possible nap of the fabric. You can find the nap by “petting” the fabric. Swipe your hand over the fabric. If you smooth out the hairs, you’re brushing with the nap. If the hairs stand up, you’re brushing against the nap. It’s best to apply the fabric with the nap facing down. The direction of the nap is always in the length of the roll, but not all wall textiles have a nap.
  • Our wall textile rolls are 1.30 meters wide with a varying length. For each strip, allow at least five centimeters of overlap for finishing.
  • Use rolls with the same batch number. There may be very slight color differences per production.
  • Ensure a flat, clean, and dry surface. For light-colored wall textiles, it’s also important that the surface has a solid color, as this may show through.
  • We recommend using DWC Colforte glue. This glue has been specially developed for our wall textiles.
