Your textile wall coverings will probably need a lot of adhesive. You should always choose low-VOC adhesives and textiles made of natural fibers. This ensures that your wall coverings won't be off-gassing formaldehyde and other chemicals into your home, which they can do for up to five years after installation. Natural fibers make the best textiles; the agave plant, for example, produces highly resilient, sound-absorbing fabrics that can be woven into different patterns. The possibilities are endless.
Look for flame-retardant textiles and fabrics made from recycled materials (like polyesters or woven glass textile) or wall coverings crafted from natural fibers, such as banana plant fiber. The materials below are beautiful and eco-friendly.
