Tapestries

Where It All Began

Long before wallpaper or framed art, people told stories in thread. The earliest wall tapestries came from Egypt and Greece, but it was Europe that turned weaving into art. In the castles of France and Belgium, entire walls were covered in scenes from daily life, mythology, even battlefields. They kept the cold out, yes, but they also gave life to stone rooms.

That tradition never really disappeared. The methods changed – the looms got faster – but the idea stayed the same: weave beauty into something useful. Every tapestry for wall hanging we offer still follows that idea. It’s not mass-produced décor; it’s an echo of that long history, built thread by thread.

Tapestries for Bedroom Walls

Bedrooms need calm, they also need something personal. A tapestry for the bedroom wall can do both. Pick one with quiet colors, maybe a landscape or floral pattern. It softens the space, adds texture, and somehow makes the room feel warmer. You’ll notice it most in the morning light, when the threads seem to wake up before you do.
