When you talk of home decoration then you cannot miss out discussing tapestries. All through the ages the tapestry has been a form of home decor that has been instrumental in enhancing the ambience of ones home. In earlier times, the tapestry as a form of home decor was mainly used in the homes of noble men. Things, however, have changed now. Today, we see even ordinary people using tapestries to add value to their home decor. The tapestry has the capacity to enhance the decor of any house. This form of textile art is woven by hand on a vertical loom. The characteristic feature of this form of art is that the weavers weave colourful patterns on silk using intricate thread work done with gold, silver or threads of other colours. In fact, the designs done on tapestries by master craftsmen are so exquisite that they can enhance the charm and ambience of the room in which they are displayed. Be it your house, office or home studio - a simple tapestry wall hanging can add a sparkle to the place it adorns. What makes the tapestry artwork special is the rich heritage that it carries. In fact, the tapestry wall hanging bears a testimony to the glorious past. It comes in varied forms. While the Bayeux Tapestry mainly talks of the Norman invasion, the other tapestries like Belgian tapestry, French tapestry or Flanders tapestry have themes that are typical to it. The theme of a tapestry can range from anything. Earlier, the tapestry craftsmen used to borrow their themes from the rich historical heritage, however, in present times it is not so. The themes can be anything as long as it allows the artist to create something that has aesthetic appeal. They range from landscape, wildlife, flowers to the culture of the specific place from where the tapestry originated. In modern times the tapestry is woven on jacquard looms. Like yesteryears, today the tapestries are not limited to just noblemen. Anyone and everyone who is keen to enhance their home décor can use them. All of us want to live in beautiful homes. At the same time we are keen to display our aesthetic and artistic sensibilities. We want our home decor to be unique and offbeat. If such is your taste and are looking for a unique home decor, then tapestries would be the ideal choice.
