Many times people will add floor rugs and runners but do not think of using wall tapestries made of the same beautiful fabric to dress their walls. The truth is that a wall tapestry is on of the simplest ways to add needed colors and textures to your space. In addition, because they are hand loomed, they are really artwork worthy of display.
There are so many colors and patterns available that you will be able to choose something just right. Southwestern decor usually uses light colors with turquoise and desert colors like pink and purple. Western themes usually look great with bold red backgrounds with white accents, black, and grey for balance. For a Native American feel, there are numerous patterns available with the Navajo storm pattern being one of the most popular. Unlike years ago when colors were limited, you can now find rich warm colors in every style of woven rug and the tapestry designs continue to get more and more intricate.
The great thing about western rugs and southwest tapestries is that you can use them anywhere. Use them as wall hangings or rugs. Place them in front of doors or in hallways as well as in front of couches and chairs or to fill vacant floor space. Hang them in entryways or where you might normally put a framed picture. For some homey casual style, hang them at an angle to accent the fact that it is wall hanging art. You will be amazed at how much value they add to your room and what an impression they will make on your visitors.
When you start your interior designing use your color swatches to add rustic tapestries and area rugs and you will be thrilled with the foundation they make for the room. Do not be afraid to use them together in the same room and to carry the theme through the house from room to room. When you make your choices do not settle for cheap looking imitations. Get real 100% wool, that has been crafted by hand by a real person, not knocked off on a machine. Handcrafted wool gives the look and durability that you want.
Spruce up your favorite room today with a little taste of the southwest, the old west or Native American Indian style with hand woven southwest rugs and western tapestries.
