    • What are my local ordinances? Some localities may require that upholstered walls utilize flame retardant fabric, batting, and foam. Verify with local building codes to ensure you are choosing the right materials.

    • What is my budget? Be mindful of how much upholstered walls can cost. Take into consideration your entire construction budget before determining the scope of the project and which materials to use.
