Nowadays, they add texture and visual interest to your home, and Anthropologie has a wide range of tapestries to match any aesthetic or style.
What is a tapestry?
A tapestry is a decorative piece of fabric that is usually adorned with intricate and detailed designs. They can be made by weaving, embroidery, or printing, and can depict anything from a historic battle to a serene landscape.
How do you hang a tapestry?
The first step is to choose the right location and height - consider the size of your tapestry and where it will be most visible. Then, decide on your hanging method - there are several options including using a rod or wire, clips or hooks, or even adhesive tape. Remember to evenly distribute the weight and keep an eye on the tension to prevent any damage. You can hang these by your dining table, above a shelf, behind a mirror, or just above your bedframe.
How do you frame a tapestry?
There are a few different options, depending on your preference and the size of the tapestry. A popular way to display a tapestry is to hang it from a rod, which can either be visible or hidden behind the fabric. Another option is to stretch the tapestry over a canvas or wooden frame, similar to stretching a canvas for a painting. You can also build a frame around the tapestry for a more traditional look.
