Today, you can use these beautiful tapestry designs to cover your walls in your home. A single wall or an entire room can be adorned with tapestry. This will add a touch of class and uniqueness to any room. The tapestry can be hung in any room and switched around, it is portable. If you want to change the décor again, you can removed the tapestry and store it.
Centuries ago, tapestry was used for decoration in castles and for keeping rooms warm in the castle. Tapestry is created on a sketch board and the weaver using the sketch to begin creating the work of art. Craftsmen and weavers will use colorful threads and fabrics for the design. They are interwoven to create a lively and multicolored article for your walls.
When choosing, pay attention to the details of the tapestry. These are specially designed with hand-picked threads that were chosen by the creator with a particular model in mind. The weaver can use a twist of colors to create different color effects. The colors and patterns chosen can be coordinated with the colors in your home. A tapestry is much like a painting but there is no use of paint only threads. Your furniture colors should match up with the colors in the tapestry to make the room look coordinated. Antique items can give the room an authentic look. Lamps, tables or other antique furnishings can really enhance the tapestry and add to the richness of the design.
Many of the tapestries you see today were manufactured in factories. But much of the process used in weaving is used in the factories. The tapestry designs that are available now are very beautiful and well made. Handmade tapestry is of a higher quality and each one is very different. The tapestry of today is detailed but some can resemble others and are not original works. The handmade ones are priced higher than the factory tapestry pieces. A tapestry is a value in itself that is priceless.
Having a tapestry in your home can now be your symbol of royalty, wealth and status. In castles of old, the tapestry was used to reflect the wealth. A part of history can be a part of your home. Your appreciation for art will show through your selection of your tapestry. A man’s home is his castle and a tapestry design can show sophistication and taste and make your castle cozier.
