Yes there is special fabric made for wall applications. You shouldn't try 
to use floor carpet because, THIS IS IMPORTANT, floor carpet is not fire 
rated for VERTICAL applications. 

You need to find Wall Carpet and to be certain it is fire rated 
appropriately. There are several companies that make wall carpet and it 
comes in a wide variety of colors and textures. Some is very velcro 
friendly and some hides nail holes well. Some is less durable that others 
so look at how the carpet backing is applied. 

There are also special adhesives made specifically for attaching this 
fabric to walls.

there for this purpose, or should I just use industrial carpet. Or is 
there something even better for this purpose?
