Over the years, I’ve noticed that many of my friends demonstrate different interior design preferences. Whenever I come over for a dinner party or just an informal visit, I pay special attention to the way they decorate their homes. Sometimes I even pick up a few influential tips. While some people adhere to the belief that “less is more” in design and that white space is an artistic element in itself, I can’t stand to look at white walls in my home.
That’s why I’ve found tapestries to be so useful. For one thing, they can be rearranged and even moved from one room to another with minimal effort. They are large enough to take up a vast swath of wall, and in many cases they bear a memorable design or a meaningful message. My favorite tapestry is located in the living room, and it would definitely qualify as patriotic home decor. It features angels dressed in red, white and blue, and bears the famous saying “God Bless America.”
