Displaying Textiles as Wall Panels

This photo, spotted on House to Home, is a well-executed example of a great idea. The designer hung a black and white rug as a focal point on the wall, then framed it using molding painted the same color as the walls. We like the idea so much, we went searching for ways to recreate this look...

We didn't have to look far, since Apartment Therapy offered a few ideas:

This is a great idea for an echo-y room. The fabric panels on the walls help to muffle and moderate the sound. This would be nice in a den, tv room, wood staircase or hallway... or any room in which a child will be learning to play recorder.
