When you hear the word "tapestry," what probably comes to mind are the ornate wall hangings noblemen used to keep drafts out of ancient European castles. Perhaps you're picturing something with rich, earthy colors and Medieval imagery, much like this tapestry below:
Today's tapestries are a whole different ball of yarn... Thanks to advances in modern technology, weavers are able to incorporate contemporary new designs into their traditional art form. These days, you'll find all manner of modern imagery on tapestries, including Abstract Art:
Fresh, contemporary tapestries like the one above can bring an urban feel to any room -- particularly if your decor has a clean, modern feel to begin with, like the room below:
We've recently topped up our Tapestry Collection with a wide array of chic, modern titles for today's decorator. Be sure to check out our latest additions, including Asian-inspired designs:
You'll also find modern landscapes (notice all tapestries come with their own elegant hanging rod for easy installation):
There are lots of new shapes to explore as well. It's amazing how much visual interest you can create in a room with just one intriguing tapestry, like the title below:
A word to the wise though: not all tapestries are created equal. There are a lot of cheap, synthetic versions on the market but unfortunately, they're really lacking in visual detail and depth (plus, they're less durable). By contrast, our natural-fiber art tapestries offer 40% greater detail. Plus, they're all made here in the U.S. by an American family with a rich, 200-year textile-weaving heritage.
So as you can see, now you can have the best of both worlds -- a continued tradition of quality and craftsmanship, with all of today's most chic, modern images. Of course, our Tapestry Collection also offers an excellent selection of more traditional imagery as well, if that's your decorating preference. What do you say: do your walls need new threads?
