Carpet decor to adorn your walls
If you believe in the old truisms that a house isn’t a home until something’s hanging on the walls. We bring you ideas and solutions for a magic carpet decor
Have you ever used a carpet on the wall versus the floor? If yes, did you like the result? If not, do you need ideas? Well, nothing beats carpet for its wealth, textures and patterns. For centuries we have been using carpets to add warmth to the space. Wall carpet design is paramount to the space’s aura, as the specific pattern and colour choices amplify the visual appeal. Wall rugs are essentially woven art and can easily add that extra touch that enhances the interior. Though we have always seen them on floors, but placing them on wall works as a beautiful element for wall art. With the passage of time, carpets on walls redefi ne the trend - since rugs and carpets have a texture and an innate quality to them as compared to any other flat wall-art, they work well on the wall. Depending on the actual artwork, their weave and texture on the wall can become a focal point in the room. Besides this, rugs on the wall also serve a functional purpose of absorbing sound and making the room feel cosy. Adding to this, Aditya Gupta, Founder, The Rug Republic shares, “Hanging a carpet on the wall is indeed a creative way to lend a room depth and warmth, while contributing to the design elements. Many interior designers, stylists and decorators are now opting to use rugs on the wall as it is an easy way to have life-size centerpiece in the decor setting, and at the same time it comes in handy to design the rest of the room around it.”
