Hi Haley, I have never tried this method myself in a bathroom but I don’t think I’d recommend ti for exactly the reasons you mentioned. The tape likely wouldn’t hold up in a humid environment! I’d look into already removable wallpapers instead, like Chasing Paper which has tons of great options!

Hi Mack, regular wallpaper removable might not work well in a bathroom, because the moisture and humidity can damage the paper and the adhesive. To avoid this, select solid vinyl, fabric-backed vinyl, or paper-backed vinyl wallpaper. These types of wallpaper are also easy to clean and remove, which is great for bathrooms.

I wouldn’t use starch on velvet. It will smoosh the pile in all sorts of directions. Also, if I were a renter, I wouldn’t use starch because it might attract bugs.

Hi there! I’m glad you like this method of decorating your walls with fabric. It’s a great way to add some texture and color to your space without damaging the walls or the fabric. There are a few ways you can use fabric instead of wallpaper, depending on how permanent or removable you want it to be. You can try: ahesive velcro strips, clothespins and velcro strips or liquid starch. I hope this helps you find the best way to hang your fabric on your wall. Let me know how it goes!

I read about a method using Mod Podge, but starch also works, and, because you are working with a heavy fabric, you should also use tacks at the top.

Use liquid starch! I used liquid starch and a paint roller. Rolled it onto the wall, then applied the fabric and then also rolled over the fabric. Make sure it’s nice and wet. After it dries it looks like wallpaper and just peels off with no damage. Quick wipe down with some water and it’s back to the original state! I’ve had mine up for two years without a bit of peeling!
