How to Hang a Tapestry
First of all, how to hang a Tapestry to create an ideal atmosphere?
First, remember to think carefully about the installation of your tapestry because unlike other wall decorations, the tapestry will be able to adapt everywhere, so the question that arises is, what atmosphere are you looking for for your space? Then comes the perfect place to put it.
Here we detail some of the ways you can install it in the best possible way.
Fastening with nails and tacks is the easiest method.
This is probably the simplest method here, although it requires leaving a hole in the wall so not necessarily ideal if you are renting your home. 2 solutions are available to you, using nails or thumbtacks although these are certainly less solid, but easier to remove if you wish to change the hanging and recreate an atmosphere.
Let’s go, for this a very simple little illustration of what you need:
Here you just need to fix each end of your wall hanging. To prevent the middles of the tapestry from stretching, consider adding ties along the side.
Another tip: You can add a plastic or wooden panel to the back of the upper part of the curtain so that it does not warp and therefore remains rigid.
Now all you have to do is admire the result of your work and why not, for example, complete the whole thing with a few accessories to personalize the decor such as family photos using clips and string or even place some garlands on it to show it off even more.


Fixing on a curtain rod
The advantage of this technique is that it saves you from drilling holes in your wall and opens the way to other locations that could complete your decor. It can also be ideal if you plan to use your curtain to separate a room or hide a corner where objects are piled up that spoil the aesthetic side of the room.
In addition, it should be noted that this type of installation allows a space between the fabric and the wall, which protects your decorative accessory from moisture coming from the wall.
For this simple realization, you will need this:


make sure you buy the command strips big enough for two hooks because you have to take two of the little velcro and stick them together. One will go on the wall the other will go on the back of your hook, it should hold up pretty well, you can fit three or even four to make it even stronger.
Then all you have to do is hang everything from the ceiling with your curtain rod, you can stick up to 6 of them to reinforce everything because your hanging can be quite heavy and can enjoy an ethnic and colorful touch in your room. your whole room.



A word of advice: You can also opt for an even simpler method which consists of taking a hanging already made as curtains in our workshops, allowing you to have an impeccable final result without hooks sticking out.
