Anybody ever use fabric for wall covering?
I have this room upstairs with completely outdated wallpaper. I can't rip it and replace the drywall. I know if I try to remove the wall paper it will rip the whole drywall.
So I was thinking to get some "cheap" fabric and hang it. Either loose (like curtains) or stappled (hidden staples).
Anyone has seen it done? Did it themselves, etc...
Any tips?
ETA: This is a room with a slopped ceiling.

I covered one wall in DS room in dennim. The wall is covered in dark brown cork. I was afraid to try and pull it down. It worked out well use an electric stapler and cardboard upholstery strips so you get clean edges.

Where did you get the strips?
