Tapestry, Wallace Collection Flower Basket

Tapestries come in carried sizes, colors, shapes, and materials. A famous work is the Wallace Collection Flower Basket tapestry woven in France. Regardless, the designs can be contemporary or classic, humorous or somber, subtle or bold.  Wall tapestries have been around for hundreds, even thousands, of years, and they have been the subject of poetry and prose.  As such, the “classic” wall hangings with medieval scenes have always enjoyed popularity, and tapestries from Asia as well as France have survived, and there has been resurgence in popularity in all tapestry art. Tapestries will often be made as reproductions of paintings, so if you choose to hang a tapestry on your wall, you may have a Mona Lisa you can actually touch.

Turn on HGTV or any other channel or show devoted to decorating your home, and you are almost guaranteed to hear the word “texture” mentioned several times; that is because interior designers realize the balance that palpable items can lend to a room.  When walls or furniture include items rich in texture, the room gains appeal and interest.  There is something warm and inviting about the notion of having something unique to touch and to add depth to the visual appearance of a living space. Wall tapestries are a stylish and sophisticated idea to enhance your home decor.
