TAPESTRY : A Necessity for a Dream Home

HOME DECOR has undergone a tremendous change from the era of 70’s & 80’s where people were very simple and hence was the living. But coming to the 21st century where glamor plays an important role the likes of the people have changed to more fancy and glittery things to decorate their home. In today’s world everyone wants to give a designer touch to their home with latest designer table linens, bed spreads, paintings, cushion covers etc.

When I think of how I can make my home look more appealing then I think of good table spreads and good paintings. This is because particularly these are the two areas that mostly catch the attention of the guests visiting us. People generally tend to look at the wall in front of them, just imagine your guests having a glimpse of an old style shabby painting on the wall. On the contrary a beautiful beaded, Embroidered Tapestry is something that can really please your guests and even make you proud. What if you buy a beautiful tapestry, get it put in a beautiful frame and put it on the wall. It would be something innovative and eye catching. Also one can get curtain loops and hang the tapestry on a rod and give a curtain like look. This will give a very stylish look to the wall.

Also these tapestries can be used as center table spreads which will make your area look more formal and admirable. To add icing to the cake one can put matching cushion covers on the sofa around the table.
