Common Types of Decorative Textiles
Each type brings its own strengths to suit different vibes:
- Silk — Often laminated onto backing for easy install, these wallpapers echo silk’s glossy finish and softness—great for upscale bedding, curtains, or sophisticated bedrooms and lounges.
- Cotton — Hard-wearing and adaptable, perfect for everyday curtains, table settings, and casual seating. Cotton-style wallpapers imitate its relaxed, woven look, as actual cotton can be prone to marks and wear on walls.
- Velvet — Delivers plush luxury to furniture and cushions. Flocked velvet wallpapers build a soft, raised pile that mimics the indulgent hand-feel, ideal for statement walls in entertaining zones.
- Linen — Loved for its natural breathability and casual elegance, suiting light curtains and relaxed linens. Linen-inspired wallpapers create an easy, textured atmosphere in living areas or workspaces.
- Jacquard — Intricate woven designs make it a go-to for feature upholstery or thick drapes. Jacquard-look wallpapers capture the complexity without the bulk or expense of real fabric.
- Brocade — Richly patterned and textured, suited to formal curtains and pieces. Brocade-effect wallpapers use raised printing or embossing to recreate the opulent detailing.
- String Cloth — Built from parallel cords or threads for an open, airy weave that’s light yet eye-catching. Milton & King’s printed collection brings bold new life to this unique textile through wallpaper.

Ideal Locations & Care Advice
This luxury wallcovering performs best as a focal point. Patterns span subtle textures to statement prints—a softer design on string cloth adds understated sophistication. It’s well-suited to bedrooms, living areas, dining spaces, and home offices.
Avoid high-moisture zones (bathrooms, laundries), heavy-traffic hallways, kids’ playrooms, kitchens with splashes and grease, outside walls, or anywhere pets might claw at it.
Maintenance is straightforward: dust regularly with a soft cloth. A lightly damp sponge can help for marks—never use abrasive cleaners or scrub hard.
