If you want to create an Old World aesthetic for your home, you may want to try using an antique tapestry. You can use an older style tapestry to create a beautiful centerpiece or focal point in the room. There are many different types of original designs to choose from, each providing an individual look. Tapestries offer a unique style in decorating any room. A tapestry can be the central core that you decorate a room around, or it can enhance the decor you already have. Bring out one of the main colors of the tapestry to help blend the colors in your room.
Your tapestry wall hangings will last through generations. Owning even one is a true investment. Pictures on your wall are nice, but a home adorned with tapestries makes a personal, elegant statement. Decorating with hanging tapestries is a wonderful way to add class and elegance to your home.

This hall, in my own home, is an example of how you can use a smaller tapestry and still accomplish an Old World feel. The large tapestries are very expensive but there are many other sizes that are more affordable This is an antique French tapestry that features a hunt scene with riders and even has a castle.

Remember you can put tables and other furniture in front of your tapestry. It is a background. I actually like them used like this instead of displayed on a wall with nothing else around. They are not as warm when used alone.

Tapestries tend to be woven in muted colors. However, there are some colorful examples out there. They are usually more expensive. Remember that you might find a smaller, less expensive treasure during a trip to a local antique store, auction, or vintage market.

An antique tapestry usually becomes the focal point and anchors the whole room.
Tapestries were designed to keep wall in castles and chateaux warm during cold winters. They will actually help keep modern walls warm and your living space cozy and stylish. They definitely provide and old world atmosphere to an interior.

Remember tapestries don't always have to hang on the wall. One of my favorite ways to capture old world flair by using a tapestry is through fabulous upholstered pieces.
