We’ve already told you of 3D wall panels as unique covers for any walls that catch an eye and look amazing. Today I’d like to continue the topic of making plain walls outstanding and super eye-catching but with various unique wall coverings from different materials that will definitely change your space and make it stunning.
Wood
Wood is one of the favorite materials for making anything because it immediately adds luxury and chic at once, it’s naturally textural, which makes it eye-catching, and it brings warmth to the space, whatever color you choose. Various wooden shingles, tiles and panels can turn even the simplest interior into a cool one. You can make an eye-catchy wall yourself covering it with worn window shutters for a shabby chic interior or with reclaimed wood, which works for any interior. beautiful wooden shingle wall art looks luxurious

Cork
Cork is another textural material that brings a cool look and warmth at the same time, it has a lot of colors to fit any space and different shapes of panels and coverings to create what you want. An important advantage of cork is that it’s absolutely affordable and you can create various wall art pieces yourself, while wood can cost you a pretty penny. fish scale ocher-colored cork wall tiles can be used for creating your wall art

Fabric
If we take fabric wall covers, this is mostly about felt panels, which double as soundproofers. They come in various sizes and shapes, and you can find a lot of colors, too. For more effective soundproofing you can also take wooden tiles covered with felt. Felt has a soft textural look and will definitely add a cozy and soft touch to any space. acoustic wood wool tiles can not only soundproof your home but also make a cool and stylish cover
