We have a local upholstery guy who's done some absolutely beautiful Lancair interiors and I asked him once what he used to attach the material for the sidewalls and headliners and he told me it was a plastic sheet material called Kydex.  Apparently it's available from any good plastic supplier, we have Tap Plastics here, and in various thicknesses.  He attaches the upholstery material with some kind of contact cement that upholstery shops use.  I'm still amazed at what a good interior person can do and I believe it's more art than science.
