Why now hang a carpet on the wall - this is not a remnant of the past and an indicator of bad taste, as some people think.Do not forget that the long out of fashion often comes back again and brings something new to the familiar style. So it is now with wall woven products.

In the past, the carpet in the house was an indicator of wealth, a good financial situation of the family. Also, it could be used as a means of maintaining heat and sound insulation.

Nowadays, this attribute can be a great addition to any interior. They can occupy too much space on the wall so that there is no empty space. Someone hangs it instead of a picture by selecting a drawing that is appropriate for the design of the room. Some endow the carpet with the role of a bright spot used to dilute the uniform color scheme of a room.

Often the product is placed at the head of the bed in the bedroom or above the sofa in the living room. This creates an atmosphere of comfort in this part of the room.

The wall carpet also fits perfectly into the decor of the room, made in the style of a loft. They can warm cold brick walls, dilute rough finishes and moderate colors with a soft, warm, light woven product. In such a design can perfectly fit the old carpet, lying in the attic since the days of the USSR,since the distinctive features of this style are simplicity, minimalism, the presence of antiques. But with the choice of drawing still need to be careful. It is desirable that there should be clear lines, large figures, fewer small elements.

When decorating a room, an element of which will be a wall carpet, the hostess herself decides on which wall it is better to hang, in the center, right or left, which one is better for a bedroom and which one is for the living room. All this is really just a matter of taste, imagination and possibilities. But maybe it is worth paying attention to some aspects.

Thin woven cloth fit the interior of a small room, well cluttered with furniture. They can be positioned depending on the color, size and location of the furniture. For example, a small thin product settles well on a wall above a pedestal, fireplace or a small sofa. It can also be placed in the center of the wall as a picture (unless, of course, drawing allows).

A small-sized canvas will not be one of the main components of the interior, unlike a large product. Therefore, it must be included in the decoration of the room as an additional, unobtrusive decoration.

Also, such a product will fit perfectly into the children's room above the table or above the bed, if you successfully select a print.

A heating mat is best suited for a bedroom. It is in this place that you need to keep and keep warm. But if the family often gathers on the sofa in the living room, in the winter a soft wall heater will be a pleasant bonus for everyone.

An important step in decorating the wall with a stylish tapestry is its fastening.

You can fix the product in the following ways:

• One of the fastest and easiest ways - with the help of nails. This method is suitable if the damaged wall and the canvas itself do not frighten you. Nails (the distance between which 15-20 cm) carpet is nailed to the surface. The consequences are holes in the wall and in the product;

• With the help of rings. There are variants of this method. Rings remain a constant part.Small in size, they are purchased in hardware stores or hardware stores. They should be sewn to the inside of the carpet with thick, strong threads. Then choose the option that you like. You can attach a wooden plank to the wall, place hooks or studs on it, hook the rings to them. You can also screw the dowels into the wall (at a distance of about 25 cm), thread the metal rod through the rings sewn to the carpet (the length should correspond to the length of the web, about 0.5 cm in diameter) and put it on the twisted dowels;

• If necessary, it is possible to fasten without rings, for example, using a special glue, which will firmly fix the canvas on the surface, or velcro;

• There is an option to use the eaves, to which the carpet is attached with special clothespins (supplied).

It can occupy the entire wall, and can only fit in the width of the bed, or it will take only a small part above the bed. Use soft, pleasant to the touch materials, creating a feeling of warmth and comfort;

• Take 2-3 (or more) small rugs and hang them beside them randomly or so that partly overlaps the other;

• If the canvas is small and thin, place it in a beautiful frame from under the picture and place it in any part of the vertical surface;

• Several small, not too dense rugs can be sewn into one large canvas and hang the whole wall with it. It will look like a collage. This technique is called patchwork.
