Wall Tapestries from Europe

Everyone loves the works of famous artists like Van Gogh, Degas and Michelangelo.  Did you know that their artwork is even more beautiful in tapestry form?  Well, it is.  Seriously.  The woven texture gives the piece a whole new dimension…the third dimension.  The images really pop out at you. 

For example, take a look at this version of Monet’s Garden at Giverny Pond tapestry.  Doesn’t it look almost real?  The depth of the water and the many many layers of color and foliage…breathtaking. 

The same goes with this Self Portrait of Van Gogh tapestry - it almost looks better than the original painting!

Get the most out of your home decor with stunning wall tapestries from your favorite artists at The Tapestry Standard!

Cause you could have fooled me.  Maybe I’m the one off here, but it IS May, right?  And since May is a month away from Summer, you’d expect it to be warm, right?  Well, thus far…it feels like late October here in the Northeast.  I mean, 48 degrees with rain?  Seriously?  It just makes me want to crawl under the covers for a few weeks until Summer gets here.  I constructed a counter attack on the gloomy weather this weekend though.  Hung up this beautiful landscape tapestry that just screams, “Spring!”.  Yay!  It helped a little.  What else can possibly combat chilly rain and cloudy skies?

Gearing up for the Summer is something that I’ve always enjoyed.  Not just adjusting my decor to follow the seasons, but just enjoying a warm breeze.  And getting ready for all of the fun outdoor parties I like to throw in the warm months.  I can’t wait to grill outside again!  Today is deceptively sunny and warm looking.  It really isn’t that warm.  Sigh.  I guess this awesome cityscape wall tapestry will have to wait for a month or two.

If you live in the frigid Northeast, why not at least make your home seem Summery with these great tapestry wall hangings?  You will notice an immediate improvement not only in your decor, but also in your state of mind.  Ahh!  Summer is here!

Even though some areas of the country are still in a pseudo-winter with cold rain and some snow, the warmth of Spring is right around the corner. What better way to bring the renewal of Spring into your home than with whimsical woven unicorn art? The colors and the mille fleurs in these classic hangings is sure to bring a smile to your face and warmth into your home.

Spring really is a great time for fabric interior design additions. The best part is that they cost less than many paintings and framed prints. The woven nature of these hangings adds another dimension of sensation to your walls.

Why are landscapes to enticing?  They give you an alternate view of the world.  For example, if you live in the city you probably get a little tired of seeing nothing but skyscrapers and traffic lights.  So, why not hang a sweeping landscape on your wall to look at instead?

It has been shown that a peaceful surrounding environment directly effects not only your mood, but your overall health.  If you feel like you need a change of scenery, hanging a lovely landscape wall tapestry might do you some good (without all those travel expenses).

Check out our exceptional selection of wall art tapestries for your wall decor. You will love the new dimension the tapestry gives to your home decor.

That’s right! It’s officially Spring next week! I can’t wait for the warmer weather to settle in. I’m watching my crocuses spring from the ground and I’m anticipating the colorful blossoms that should be opening shortly.

Spring time is all about the first splash of color after a dark and grey winter landscape. Spring time is when people are generally the happiest, according to many studies. How can you not be when the air smells sweeter and the breezes are warm?

My favorite part of Spring isn’t the flowers nor the warmth (though they are both rather pleasant). It’s the cleaning and redecorating! Everyone is familiar with Spring cleaning. No one likes to actually do it, but once it is done everything feels like new and sparkles with the morning sun. During this whole cleaning process, I like to change my decor to reflect the new, budding season. Obviously, I’m not going to go all crazy and repaint, so I change the look and feel of my wall decor and choice of area rugs.

Usually, I am not a fan of florals. I love flowers, but I would rather have the real thing than a picture of flowers. Spring time is the only exception to that rule. I hang floral prints and tapestries in the place of my regular wall hangings to get in touch with the season. Here at the Tapestry Standard, we just got some new (and gorgeous) floral tapestries that I, personally, would love to hang.

If you want to add a splash of Spring to your home decor, I highly recommend Fiesta Primavera I and II, Aux Coleurs II and for a breathtaking Spring landscape, Evening Glow Tapestry. I just know you will love them! Enjoy and embrace the upcoming season. Here’s to Spring!!!

I’ve made some changes to the look of The Tapestry Standard this week. Nothing drastic but I wanted to warm the age up a bit. I’d love feedback, positive or negative is fine as long as it’s constructive. You can take a look at the site here: Wall Tapestries and Hangings. I’m also looking for suggestions for new products Tapestry Standard customers would like to see offered. So far I’m looking for Belgian Lace and Tapestry Footstools. Anything else you’d like to see in the tapestry store?
