I have used fabric wall covering before and am planning on it again. It is very popular in Europe and Upper Africa in hotels, etc. If you don't want to glue it to the wall (which I wouldn't) there are two things you can do. Both entail stapling. One is a "flat installation" where you simply staple the material at the edges and then cover with woodwork or bricbrac. The other (more popular) is to first staple a layer of fill to the wall and then the fabric over it, giving it a "puffier" and richer look. You still cover your edges with woodwork or bricbrac. Hope that helps!! It can look really regal.
