Many decide to upgrade their homes by redecorating with paint or new furniture. One way many choose is to go with tapestry art. A beautiful tapestry can add charm to your home that paints cannot. You may want to purchase new paintings to hang from your walls but that does not add that special personal touch you are seeking. A tapestry can be added to your current décor but will change the mood of an entire room. You can choose from small hangings to very large hangings but it should fit the room not overtake the room. The style you choose will be an extension of your personal taste. You can build around this focal point of the tapestry or incorporate the tapestry with the decorations and furniture already placed in the home. There are different styles and here are a few of them.

There is Native American styles that makes a Southwestern home look even more authentic. Oriental or Asian themes look marvelous in modern theme rooms or futuristic apartments.

Home interior stores and online decorating outlets can help you find what you are looking for and you can check out the various designs.
The Renaissance period is a mixed genre of Gothic and Renaissance influenced tapestry designs. Gothic architecture and human forms that were clothed in classic and Renaissance dress are usually visual in this type of tapestry. Roman and Gothic lettering was used and more detail in the draped clothing improved the pictures perspective that the tapestry design was taken from. Renaissance tapestry would be a great addition to rooms that have this influence or even large bathrooms with the Roman style.
Tapestry designs have hung on the walls of castles and rich men’s home for centuries and this style of textile can be bought anywhere for your home. No other work of art can compare with tapestry and what they can give in return. You can interchange the hangings and move them to different rooms or even other homes.
