"Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakably tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others." So said Rainer Maria Rilke, speaking of life, of fate, of the nature of existence. I say design is also comparable to a "wonderful wide tapestry" in that all elements - all threads of composition - work together to create an interwoven, harmonious whole. We are most interested in helping you create your own tapestry from decor elements that reflect the rich, varied cultures of the world we share. Not ready for a whole room makeover? Then start small, adding a few decorative accents that possess distinct character, and which allow you to build on that character. Even a single statement piece can be enough to change the impression of a room. As long as we're talking tapestry, how about a tapestry throw? Consider the Chat Noir tapestry, inspired by Theophile Steinlen's 1896 poster; add a striking burst of Art Nouveau draped over a comfortable couch, or casually tossed across the bed in your guest room. Its rich red and gold ground and iconic black cat invite several opportunities to use bold color and French-inspired accents to create a retro artistic statement. Inspired by folk decor? The Bandana tapestry renders the familiar, enduring pattern of traditional bandanas in a lovely and functional throw. Pair it with the Picota tapestry cushion or the Floralie tapestry cushion to carry out an Americana theme. The Valois tapestry throw offers a more refined approach to color accent, and pairs beautifully with our Louis cushions, each of which invoke the heraldry of the French fleur-de-lis. Imagine them on a neutral fabric sofa, or even a solid, bold leather couch. Tapestry cushions in complementary groupings can transform and brighten an existing bedroom or living room. Consider Fushia, Blossom and Forget Me Not in a contemporary floral grouping. Or perhaps the bolder and more abstract L'Eau, Le Feu Rouge, Pavots and Foret cushions as an eclectic, decoratively complex set on your living room sofa. Tapestry table runners offer the weft and warp of tapestry on a scale suitable for transforming your dining area, and drawing focal attention to your table setting. The tasseled Farandole runner is brightly floral. And the Tree of Life runner is inspired by Medieval European designs. Both are woven in France. Regardless of how you choose to weave world accents into your existing decor, online you can find a wide wonderful selection of throws, cushions, runners and many more affordable, versatile pieces to express your style.
