Cork Walls - A Natural, Sustainable Wall Covering

I remember growing up, sharing a room with my sibling and our giant cork wall. Yup - one of our walls was completely corked. It was awesome! We pinned up all our art work and many other "treasures" not worrying about putting holes all over the walls. This wall was dedicated to us and to whatever we wanted to pin onto it.

Now, having children of my own, I recognize the genius of corking an entire wall. The difference is there are now so many more choices. Yes - the standard cork roll would still work perfectly. This gives a beautiful, consistent, seamless look to the wall. It basically looks like a big bulletin board. Perfect in many instances.

Decorative cork wall tiles are another option and work wonderfully in any room of the house or office. You choose a pattern to match your tastes and decor. These wall tiles are available in three thicknesses depending on your needs. The thinnest cork wall tile (3mm thick) is not meant to hold pushpins, its primarily decorative. A fantastic alternative to wallpaper, paint or other wall coverings. The other two thicknesses are designed with pushpins in mind - acoustic wall tiles (1/2" thick) and tackboard wall tiles (1/4" thick). Remember cork is a fantastic insulator as well - naturally. It helps insulate against sound, temperature, vibrations.

 Other options include natural cork topped wall tiles. These individually hand produced wall tiles are produced from the first harvest of the fully renewable cork tree. The texture and warmth these tiles emit is amazing. Yes - you could use pushpins on these tiles or leave the tile completely undecorated as they are decor themselves. Actually all these cork tiles are decor and provide so many decorating ideas while remaining functional as well. You can see many options in cork wall and ceiling coverings at the corkstore.com or jelinek.com
