Try Western Tapestries For Native American Style Home Decorating

Western tapestries are the icons of Native American and rustic style home decorating. If you love southwestern and western decor, you will definitely enjoy using colorful tapestries in your rustic cabin, room or home. Truly functional and versatile, you will find that rustic tapestries, when used as a tapestry wall hanging or tapestry wall art, bring your room to life and give it a wonderful southwest, country or western feel. Many times people will add floor rugs and runners to their homes but do not think of using wall tapestries made of the same beautiful fabric to dress their walls. 

The truth is that a wall tapestry is one of the simplest ways to add needed colors and textures to your space and bring life to your home decor. In addition, western tapestries make beautiful artwork worthy of display because they are hand loomed. There are so many colors and patterns available that you will no doubt be able to find the perfect southwest tapestry style to match your home decor. Southwestern decor usually uses light colors with turquoise and desert colors like pink and purple. Western themes look great with bold red backgrounds with white accents, black, and grey for balance. For a Native American feel, there are numerous patterns available with the Navajo storm pattern being one of the most popular. 

Unlike years ago when colors were limited, you can now find rich warm colors in every style of woven rug, and tapestry designs that continue to get more and more intricate. The great thing about decorating with southwest tapestries is that you can use them anywhere in your home. Use them as a hanging tapestry or as accent rugs to enhance rustic furnishings and southwestern accessories. Or, place them in front of doors, in hallways, and in front of couches and chairs to fill vacant floor space. Hang them in entryways or where you might normally put a framed picture for a different design style. For some a more casual style, hang them at an angle to accent the fact that it is wall hanging art. You will be amazed at how much value they add to your room and what an impression they make on your visitors.

When you start your interior designing, use your color swatches to add western tapestries and tapestry rugs to your rooms and you will be thrilled with the foundation they make for your decorating style. Do not be afraid to use them together in the same room and to carry the theme throughout all the rooms of your home. When you make your choices, do not settle for cheap looking imitations that will bring down the quality of your home. Get real 100% wool tapestries and tapestry rugs that have been crafted by hand and not by a machine. Handcrafted wool gives the look and durability that you want. Spruce up your favorite room with a little taste of the southwest, or give your whole home a makeover using western tapestries and tapestry rugs to give it that great designer southwestern style.
