Default ideas for studio backdrops

I was wondering if anyone has some ideas for studio backdrops. Currently I have a roll of white and gray paper. What are some other backdrops that would work well in a studio setting for fashion and beauty shots? Things like fluted sheets of 4' x 8' metal.

Thanks!

peg board looks cool when you set up a light behind to illuminate the holes and bring your model away from the board so that it gets a really low key look...make sure you keep your light focused on the model and not spilling over onto the peg board. It's a cool effect!

You can also use bead curtains over your paper backdrops to give it a different look, some are really sparkly and pretty
