Decorate Large Wall Spaces with Tapestries

With the growth of new homes constructed with large wall spaces and high vaulted ceilings, it can be difficult to decide how to decorate these areas. Many home owners have discovered the idea of a large wall tapestry. The walls of Your Home are one of the main focuses one sees while entering a room or foyer. Having empty large wall spaces diminishes the charm of a room and creates a less than inviting appearance. Tapestries have been used for ages to fill large areas and also to add warmth and color to a room. Tapestries from old world designs to modern day designs can help fill these open spaces perfectly.

When choosing what type tapestry will fit nicely, one must decide the dimensions of the wall space. Is there more horizontal space to fill or vertical space? Remember that a poor fitting Wall Hanging can look worse than an open space. You want to have sufficient bordering of the wall surrounding your wall hanging, so as not to cover the entire wall. The tapestry would be a focal point and not a total covering of the wall space. At the same time too small of a wall hanging can look too isolated and lost. Always allow at least a "framework" of wall around the tapestry.

For foyer areas with long and thin wall spaces, Portiere tapestries can fit perfectly. Most are less than three feet wide and up to 80 inches long. Many Portieres can be purchased in matching pairs or pairs that compliment each other.

For wider areas, horizontal tapestries come in a wide range of styles and Most Popular are landscape scenes. From European country sides to Tuscan scenes, the tapestry industry offers a wide selection.

A wall tapestry should be hung 1/1/2 to 2/1/2 inches away from wall to avoid moisture buildup. Modern day tapestries are generally not intended for heating purposes as in medieval days, so hanging right up against a wall is not necessary and may only ruin the wall hanging.

And finally, choosing a hanging rod with decorative finials, and adding tassels creates an artistic look.
