The Unexpected Piece Of Decor That Gives Your Entryway A Vintage Feel

There is nothing quite as transformative as updating a vintage staple to include it in your modern interior design. Elements from years ago can make your space feel unique and special. Textiles, such as a beautiful and soft tapestry, can be used as wall decor — without feeling like you're in a dorm room. The intricate designs evoke feelings that calm the senses with texture and detailing that draw the eye. A tapestry is a useful tool for creating a naturalistic or bohemian aesthetic and can provide a fresh pop of color in the entrance space of your home — a spot you might not normally think of when decorating with a tapestry.

The entryway is the first part of the house that guests see, and you only have one chance to make a first impression. What better way to welcome everyone than with a tapestry to create an appealing accent wall? Vintage tapestries are stunning, and there is no better place to show them off than where guests enter the home. They can be styled with contemporary fixtures or even vintage furniture finds to make the space feel cohesive. When added to the entryway, a tapestry can really come to life when sunlight shines inside the home and hits the textile surface. It adds dimension to the room as the visual will pop to catch eyes. If you have a wall space in your entryway that is lackluster and can use an upgrade, an artistic tapestry could be the perfect solution.  

Tapestries with bold colors, patterns, and even scenic images function like unique pieces of art when they dress up the entryway. They are playful and effervescent but also feel elegant since they have stood the test of time. The soft textures feel cozy and make your entryway feel more inviting from the second someone walks in the front door. Take note of the colors displayed throughout the tapestry and coordinate greenery in your vestibule to match.

The use of a tapestry is the perfect way to transition between seasons as they can be switched out for rotating designs as the weather turns. Since the entryway is one of the coldest areas of the home, a tapestry will create a warm feeling in the space. Don't worry if the surface is slightly weathered as this will bring out the textural elements even more. Make sure you're aware of the right way to maintain your tapestry accent wall so it will always look stunning, and consider a new vintage-looking tapestry if you're concerned about the upkeep of an antique. 

The best thing about a tapestry is that it covers vertically to optimize wall space without adding more clutter and blockage on the floor. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also practical. A tapestry hanging from the wall will draw the eye upward and elongate the entryway to make it feel more spacious.
