Simpkeely Sketched Floral Bohemian Medallion Tapestry

A tapestry is a kind of textile art that is hung on the wall. It is traditionally handwoven on a loom but modern versions are imprinted on fabric with hand-sewn touches. A tapestry is an eye-catching home décor option that instantly upgrades the look of any room. They are typically large in size so they become the focal point and draw the eye in. You can even get custom-made tapestries that are the size of your whole wall.

If you want to add some color to your room but don’t want to paint the walls, a large tapestry is a good option. They are available in many different colors and styles so you can find one that fits with your taste. For example, there are tapestries with the Mandala symbol for those who appreciate the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism. If you prefer adding scenery to your home, you can get a tapestry of mountains or deserts, for example.

If you have particularly noisy neighbors, a tapestry can also add another layer of soundproofing. The thick layer of cloth helps to muffle noises coming from the other side of the wall so that you can create a sense of calm in your home.

• When you’re looking for a tapestry for your home, be sure to first measure your wall where you want to hang the tapestry to get an idea of what size it can accommodate. Then compare the wall size with the tapestry size to see what works.
• While traditional tapestries were hand woven by artisans, modern versions are made out of a durable and lightweight polyester fabric. Some are also made from 100 percent cotton. These materials are skin friendly, don’t cause allergies or irritations and are easy to keep clean in your home.
• Consider what kind of mood you want to set with the tapestry. Remember that it will not remain in the background like a paint color, simply because of its size. A tapestry is a focal point of your room and will set the tone for the rest of the décor. Think about what kind of feelings you want it to evoke: relaxation, calm, energized or joyful, perhaps.
• Most modern tapestries are easy to hang because the material is light and airy. You can use a number of hanging systems such as push pins, decorative tacks, Velcro strips or double-sided table.
