Free your room. Free your spirit.
Are you a hippie tapestry lover? Well we are. Tapestries are one of the easiest ways to bring color, creativity, and a little bohemian spirit into a space. A single tapestry can completely transform a room and open up a whole world of decorating possibilities.
I never wake up and decide to spring clean. When a flower blooms, I do not suddenly get the urge to run inside and dust. I usually end up outside staring at the flowers instead.
Spring does, however, get me thinking about possibilities.
Sometimes our surroundings stop feeling like “us.” That is when it is time to refresh our spaces and add a little more personality. Soul Flower tapestries always get me thinking about all the creative ways a room can change with just one colorful piece of art.
Why Tapestries Transform a Room
Tapestries have a way of adding freedom to a space. They soften hard walls, add texture, and bring vibrant patterns into a room without requiring a full redesign. Even a small apartment or dorm room can feel more open, colorful, and expressive with the right tapestry on the wall.
It is amazing how much personality a single tapestry can add to a room.
Frame a Tapestry as Wall Art
One idea I absolutely love is framing a tapestry. It instantly turns the fabric into statement wall art. A mandala tapestry works beautifully for this look. Framing the center of the pattern creates a bold bohemian focal point.
You can recreate this style using one of our hippie tapestries and framing the most eye-catching part of the design.
Use a Tapestry as a Headboard
Tapestries work beautifully behind a bed. Hanging one above your bed can act as an instant headboard and bring warmth and color to the room.
I especially love the look of a tapestry paired with soft lighting. Add a strand of lights and suddenly your bedroom feels cozy, relaxed, and full of personality.
Use a Tapestry as Curtains
Tapestries can also be used as curtains. They soften the light coming through a window and add color to a space that might otherwise feel plain.
Layer Multiple Tapestries
Decorating with more than one tapestry can create a really fun and creative space. Dorm rooms especially come alive with layered textiles.
In this dorm room we used several different tapestries throughout the space. One works as a curtain, another covers the couch, and another creates a canopy overhead.
So who says you can only put one tapestry in a room?
How to Hang a Tapestry
One of the best things about decorating with tapestries is how easy they are to hang. You do not need anything complicated to get started.
Push pins or thumb tacks
The quickest way to hang a tapestry is with simple push pins. Place one in each corner and your wall art is ready. If you haven't used magnetic push pins before, they are an excellent choice because they leave tiny holes and are very strong!
Clips and a curtain rod
Use small clips attached to a curtain rod to hang a tapestry like a piece of fabric art. This works especially well above beds or couches.
String lights and clips
Clip your tapestry to a strand of lights for a cozy, dreamy look. This works beautifully in bedrooms and dorm rooms.
Driftwood or a wooden dowel
Attach your tapestry to a piece of driftwood or a wooden rod for a relaxed, natural bohemian vibe.
Creative Ways People Use Tapestries
Over the years customers have shared some really creative ideas with us. One person even sewed their tapestry into a shower curtain. Another used one to create a cozy meditation space.
Tapestries invite creativity. They are easy to move, easy to hang, and instantly change the mood of a room.
