Wall Upholstery: Transform Your Interior with Custom Upholstered Wall Panels
Wall upholstery represents one of the most sophisticated approaches to interior design, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits that traditional wall treatments simply cannot match. At Feathers Fine Custom Furnishings, we specialize in creating custom upholstered wall panels that transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary environments. Since our founding in 1994, we’ve perfected the art of wall upholstery, combining experienced craftsmanship with the finest materials to deliver installations that serve as both acoustic solutions and stunning focal points.
The process of installing upholstered wall panels involves careful planning, precise measurement, and meticulous attention to detail that ensures every square inch of your wall receives the treatment it deserves. Our approach begins with understanding your specific requirements during a complementary custom design consultation that comes with the purchase of home furnishings. We assess your space, discuss your vision, and explore the vast possibilities that wall upholstery offers for your particular environment.
The Technical Excellence Behind Upholstery Wall Panel Systems
Creating exceptional upholstered wall panels requires a deep understanding of both traditional upholstery techniques and modern installation methods. We begin by constructing a framework system that attaches securely to your existing walls, typically using moisture-resistant plywood or medium-density fiberboard as the substrate. This foundation must be perfectly level and properly anchored to support the weight of the padding and fabric while maintaining dimensional stability over decades of use.
The padding layer represents a critical component of any wall upholstery installation, typically consisting of high-density foam ranging from one to three inches in thickness, depending on the desired aesthetic and acoustic properties. We often incorporate multiple density layers, with firmer foam against the substrate and softer materials at the surface, creating depth and visual interest while maximizing sound absorption. This multi-layer approach can reduce ambient noise levels by up to 30 percent in typical residential applications and even more in commercial settings where acoustic control is paramount.
The fabric selection process offers unlimited customization opportunities, allowing you to specify the exact textures, colors, and patterns that align with your interior design vision. We work with performance fabrics engineered specifically for vertical applications, ensuring they maintain their appearance without sagging or stretching over time. These materials undergo rigorous testing for colorfastness, abrasion resistance, and flame retardancy, meeting or exceeding industry standards for both residential and commercial installations.

Upholstered Wall Panels For Your Bedroom, Living Room & More
Wall upholstery represents a significant enhancement to property value, with industry studies indicating that well-executed custom interior features can increase home values by 5 to 10 percent. The durability of professionally installed upholstered wall panels ensures this investment continues providing returns for decades. Unlike painted surfaces requiring repainting every few years or wallpaper susceptible to peeling and fading, quality wall upholstery maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance.
The energy efficiency benefits of wall upholstery often surprise property owners, as the additional insulation layer created by foam padding can reduce heating and cooling costs by improving thermal resistance. This enhancement proves particularly valuable in older buildings where wall insulation may be inadequate, providing both comfort and cost savings that accumulate over time.
