Selection of the Right Tapestry Rod-

In case the tapestry has a rod pocket, it can be easily hung utilizing a tapestry rod.

Exquisite tapestry should not be damaged using punched holes in the fabric. The tapestry could also be draped over the rod as an alternative. In this way, a faux headboard would be created for your typical bedroom as you desire. A sturdy tapestry rod will provide the right amount of stability and support to the tapestry.

Framing the Tapestry-

Tapestries behind glasses look highly advanced, quite similar to what would come straight out of a gallery. The tapestry can be stretched across a canvas or a wooden frame to be held in place. The natural texture of the fabric would shine in this case.

Framing the tapestry turns into a fine art piece that can be easily hung using a picture hanger.

Canopy Formation-

Ever wondered how a tapestry would look if it hung from the ceiling? The room would be enhanced to a luxe look if one uses a flowing canopy right over a bed. It would also be perfect for hiding errors like ceiling tiles on the drop ceiling. Tuck the tapestry corners into ceiling tiles or use pushpins, hooks, and velcro (for light fabrics). Pushpins and nails serve the best on dry walls. Keep in mind how sturdier, tougher fabrics can relatively weigh down a space.

Window Covering-

Light, airy tapestries would impose great solutions for privacy. Heavy tapestries would block light out as done by thick drapes. Tapestries can gently diffuse sunlight which can cause an ethereal ambiance, lifting a space. Opting for semi-transparent or sheer tapestries can ensure privacy while compromising on brightness.  Heavy tapestries work as efficient light blockers as the dense fabric causes darkness when closed, making them ideal for spaces where light control is necessary. Selecting tapestries with multiple layers or thicker weaves can block out glare, sunlight, or streetlights as desired, to create an intimate atmosphere.

Include Decorative Elements-

Tapestry hardware like rings, hooks, and brackets serve decorative and functional purposes. Select hardware complementing the overall aesthetic of the room and space. Whether individuals prefer vintage-inspired or ornate hardware for a traditional look, or minimalist sleek designs for a contemporary feel, numerous options can be opted for to complement decor schemes. Brackets that play a role in supporting tapestries can work as decorative accents too. Choose brackets having sculptural shapes or intricate detailing to aid visual interest in the windows.

Final Thoughts

The techniques of hanging tapestries allow opportunity for numerous acts of innovation and creativity. Mere walls can be transformed into portals of imagination by embracing ingenuity and flamboyance. Tapestries are expected to tell stories in every corner. We should continue exploring and experimenting by infusing our homes with the allure of tapestries. This will help us in elevating our usual, mundane surroundings.
