The Best Wall Art Designs to Choose From | Craft Idea Stencil

You probably already know that tapestries make great wall art. They’re easy to put up and take down, they’re easy to clean, they look wonderful almost anywhere and they make wonderful family heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation. It’s no wonder that tapestries have been used as wall art for centuries. Shopping for tapestries, however, can be a bit overwhelming, simply because there are so many options available.

Take European tapestries as an example. Some European tapestries come in traditional formats. These tapestries contain scenes of knights and ladies with castles in the background. Some contain scenes of ancient forests populated with fantastical creatures. These tapestries wouldn’t seem out of place on a Shakespeare play set or in a museum. Other European tapestries contain images pulled from famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa. These tapestries make it easy for anyone to own a beautiful famous painting, blown up to a very large size. And yet other European tapestries contain modern, abstract shapes in beautiful bursts of color.

Take French tapestries as another example. Some French tapestries contain scenes of rural French life, with peasants working in fields of lavender. Other French tapestries contain images of the modern French landscape, with the beautiful Eiffel Tower hovering above everything. And yet other French tapestries get inspiration from the works of Monet and contain beautiful water lilies.

One way to choose the right style is to look at your existing furniture in the room where the tapestry will hang. What colors are already in that room? What style of furniture is in the room? What forms or shapes do you want to highlight in that room?

Another way to choose the tapestry style right for you is to simply browse online collections of wall art and let your imagination carry you away. What would your living room look like when a scene of Victorian England covers one wall? How would a wall of flowers enhance the soothing feel of your bedroom?
