Mediterranean Tapestries For Sophisticated Wall Decor

Mediterranean designs are popular around the world for their cozy and casual style. Since the Mediterranean area is known as sunlit days, vibrant flora, and clear waters, these elements are present in these designs.

Many people around the world want to imitate the designs for their own homes because, unlike other European-styled houses, the Mediterranean houses are carefree, as if the home is just a cozy vacation house, where they tend to highlight the landscape surrounding the area, with nature as the main architectural element.

Vibrant colors like orange, yellow, and deep red are used to reflect the area's famous sunset. Other commonly used Mediterranean colors are lavender and deep purple (to evoke the ambiance of a field of flowers) and light shades of green (to evoke the rustic feel of a countryside).

These fabrics are earthly and rough, although its roughness is balanced by using several water-based designs and elements, such as fountains and lavebo. The accessories are also colorful but still rural. Light pine furniture is common in houses, again adding to that country-feel these designs evokes.

Using Mediterranean tapestries is a great way to achieve this rustic ambiance. The tapestry will share the same qualities that the style and look has -- colorful, cozy, casual, and rustic. It also adds to the fabric's rough texture. While any wall hanging can add to the texture of a Mediterranean house, these fine woven goods would not stand out compared to other European tapestries.

Instead, it will add flavor and compliment the whole design. Using wall art and hangings is so inexpensive. Instead of buying several furniture pieces and repainting an entire area of the house, one can simply hang wall decor in a room and it will already have the much-need ambiance.

A room's anchor or focal point can be enhanced by the work-of-art, especially if that particular room is big and lacks and distinguished factor or area. For smaller rooms, however, a Mediterranean tapestry piece can make it appear larger. This is because an image of relaxing landscapes with warm colors such as yellow and green -- colors that are said to be soothing to the eyes and have relaxing effects.

Because of the wall hanging, it would seem as if the room is bigger because the design is depicting a much larger scene or landscape, creating an illusion similar to what mirrors to do in interior designs. Enjoy.

Regardless of space, Mediterranean tapestries will fit any kind of room, any kind of home, any kind of design.
