Varieties of decorative soft wall panels
The main difference between soft wall panels is the material from which they are made. It can be fabric, genuine leather or imitation leather. The design of cloth implies the most democratic prices. Used for this is the same fabric as for upholstery furniture, because it should be strong enough and wear-resistant.
Leather soft panels for walls not everyone can afford, and will not go far to every room. But the skin looks ideal in the expensive interior of the cabinet, library, billiard room, etc. Artificial leather is more practical in use and is performed in a variety of design variations, but more often - in the form of individual tiles or in the style of Kapiton, which will be discussed later. Internal filling of panels is more often foam rubber or more modern sintepon. The first one makes it possible to create a thick and thick inner layer and looks more magnificent, while using the second, the surface of the panel looks more even.
