Double Sided Tape For Interior Design
In interior design, double sided tape can be used for form and function, artistic expression and aesthetics, and so much more!
Undoubtedly, you’ve already used double sided tape for interior design projects, but thanks to today’s choices in tape, you can add functionality and polish to your designs in ways that you might never have imagined!
Below are recommendations for how you can use double sided tape for residential and commercial interior design projects.
Decorative Elements
In interior design, double sided tape is often used to install decorative elements. A heavy duty double sided tape can be used to attach art, mirrors, lightweight shelves, veneers, laminates, and other decorative items. Double sided tape offers a clean, efficient alternative to nails and screws, and depending on the type of tape you use, items can be repositioned or removed with minimal impact on the underlying surfaces.
Fabric Panels
If you want to customize a space with fabric, double sided tape can be used to permanently attach fabric panels to walls or ceilings, and it also can be used for temporary holds (while more permanent attachments are installed or for short-term installation projects).
Fabric And Upholstery
Double sided tape can also be used to adhere fabric to furniture, wall panels, or custom window treatments. Not only can you get a clean look (no visible stitches or staples), but you can also easily make adjustments to your alignment during the installation process.
Carpet And Flooring
In flooring, double sided tape can be used to place and secure carpets, area rugs, and floor mats. The tape prevents the carpets from shifting, and it can also be used to secure the edges of carpets or underlays. This provides a seamless look, while also preventing the flooring from fraying or curling at the edges.
Flooring Transitions
Double sided tape can also be used to create seamless flooring transitions in places, for example, where a carpet ends and a hardwood floor begins. The tape can provide a clean and durable bond, without the need for transitional metal strips or nails.
Lighting
With double sided tape, LED lighting can be easily attached to highlight architectural features or create ambiance. The tape can be used to mount LED lights under cabinets, along curves, on staircases, and in tight spaces where traditional mounting applications wouldn’t work.
Art Installations
Double sided tape can be used to create complex, layered, and textured wall art, without the use of nails, screws, or other fasteners. For example, you could use double sided tape to layer different materials (such as fabric, thin metal sheets, plastic, or composite materials) to create a dynamic and visually interesting focal point on a wall.
Decorative Storage Solutions
There’s nothing better than a storage solution that’s both functional and attractive. Double sided tape can be used to attach custom-made decorations to cabinets and drawers, closet doors, shelving units, storage bins, window seat storage compartments, and more.
And A Few More Uses…
Double sided tape can also be used to secure loose wiring or cables, seal gaps between fixtures, attach crown molding, quarter round, and trim without fasteners, and much, much more!
