Floral Wall Tapestry - Textures of an Art Form
Floral tapestry wall hangings have a unique texture that is not found in any other art form. The combination of threads, colors and weaves create a genuine art experience that can change with each viewing angle. These pieces of art will last through many generations and owning just one is a solid investment for your wall decor collection.
When we take a look back in history we find that tapestries began flourishing in France during the middle ages. The number of tapestries woven in this time period has never been surpassed. They were considered a luxury item for royalty and the very wealthy. On a practical level, tapestries were not only used as decorations, but they also provided privacy around beds, partitioned rooms, prevented drafts and insulated from the cold.
Floral tapestries are vast and varied. They include themes from contemporary floral arrangements to the traditional still life. Floral tapestries usually included decorative vertical panels with garlands, wreaths, scenes and lush green foliage.
For those with expensive tastes, some companies specialize in fine floral designs with hand woven wool fabrics using natural dyes and handspun yarns with various traditional weaving methods. Today few tapestries are hand woven. Most are machine and loom made using modern yarns and techniques which allow us to enjoy works of art at affordable prices. Some weavers use linen threads such as wool, silk, cotton, silver, gold and other fibers to produce magnificent and colorful images.
Floral tapestries carry with them the simple beauty of nature and spring. They bring your gardens into your home. No mater what the temperature is outside, just a glance will fill you with warmth inside. They make your space fresh and elegant and can also create a mood of romance.
You can add these wall hangings to any room of your home, then watch and be amazed on how the room will come alive. It seems to capture the beauty of life and celebrates every stitch to give your home an atmosphere of unique sophisticated decor. The combination of visual appeal, acoustic resonance and practicality give this art form a stunning and welcoming addition for any home. With the wide selection of floral tapestries available today, this form of wall art will bring the room together because you will be able to select a style that will match the theme of any room you wish to hang one of these woven artworks in.
They are available in various sizes, colors, designs and shapes and can also be customized to your own specific design and taste. What ever you choose, it is certain to be an eye catching conversation piece.
Be sure to use lighting to maximize the effect of the floral tapestry. Proper lighting will bring out all the detail that was meant to be seen. This will help make it the focal point of the room. Because floral tapestries usually have so many vibrant colors, the light must be bright and white. This white light will illuminate the tapestry as it falls directly on the fabric.
It is best not to hang your floral tapestry in direct sunlight. As with any wall hanging, sunlight will fade the piece over time.
Before hanging, check to see what your walls are made from. If they are made from plaster you can hang your tapestry against the wall or one inch off the wall. If your walls are made of sheet rock, then use brackets and keep the tapestry two inches off the wall.
Once you have decided on your first floral tapestry it will fully embrace and energize you to continue your search and explore creative ideas to add another splendid piece to your decor.

Vera Bradley Hope Garden or Mod Floral Pink?
I am getting a Vera Bradley hipster bag, but I'm not sure what pattern. I either want Hope Garden or Mod Floral Pink. I can not afford both right now, but I plan to get both in the future. I wear red, brown, white, pink, navy, and turquoise a lot, so both go pretty well. Tell me which one you would get between the two!

Does the hope garden just seem TOO bright and more for a little kid?
I love the hope garden. I'm alwayssss in a dilemma when it comes to buying my veras because I wear a lot of black but always buy brown bags. But it seems to go better with the colors you wear since it has a little bit of navy and is mostly light/bright colors. definitely go with the hope garden.
