Wall hangings bring a uniquely soft tactility to a space, that differs from traditional artwork. Rather than lying flat and two-dimensional, wall hangings add depth and texture to a room. From tapestry-type blankets to more three-dimensional worked pieces, there’s a movement toward hanging textiles, artefacts and objects on our walls. With the art of craft making a big resurgence - designers, makers and home crafters are creating beautiful, haphazard pieces that are a far cry from mass-produced art. 

It’s not just texture and depth that wall hangings offer - they’re also a clever way to add a splash of colour to a neutral space. Rather than creating a feature wall by painting it one solid block colour, hang up a richly coloured blanket or rug to compliment the other colours in your space. For even more impact, opt for a wall hanging in a completely contrasting colour to its background.

Wondering which room is best suited to showcase your wall hanging? They’re versatile enough to hang in any room of your choice, depending on the size and texture of your hanging and the impact you want to create. Show-stopping pieces are best hung in larger spaces to create a unique focal point, whereas smaller textured pieces are best suited to add cosy warmth to a bedroom. If you’ve got a long horizontal running piece, these are perfect as a talking point in a hallway or entrance into your home.

Wall hangings are a great way to introduce a huge piece of art into your home - without the costly price tag or intimidating investment of a large-scale painting. A beautiful, detailed wall hanging adds something thoughtful and hand-crafted into your space, and also supports independent designers rather than buying a mass-produced item. It can provide the perfect talking point in any room, and softens your home with its texture and tactility.
