If you have been considering adding something to the walls in your home to bring them alive, you may not be sure just what to do.
Have you considered religious or inspirational art?
You can see our other post here about the different styles of religious tapestries.
There are a number of impacts religious tapestries can have on your home once you hang them on the wall. These range from dramatic to inspirational or just beautiful.
So how do you decorate with religious wall tapestries?
There are 3 themes:

1. Dramatic religious tapestry

If you want a room in your home to have a ‘wow’ impact on people when they walk in, you may want to consider some of the more dramatic religious art out there. For example, large wall hangings do this with stunning effect.

See El Greco’s Trinidad Religious Tapestry

For instance, the use of religious works such as Greco’s Trinidad will see people stop once they come into the room and they will be immediately pulled into the scene of large tapestries.
This is an effect you achieve with a large tapestry, and gives the illusion that you have walked into a scene.
It is a great effect to have for yourself and for guests.

2. Angelic religious tapestry

In the angel tapestry above, we see a wonderful angel created by Lorenzo Monaco (1410-1415).
This depicts an angel with beautiful multicolored wings, reflecting the colors of the angels rich garments.
See our other post here on angel tapestries.
While many people think that decor can be as easily accomplished with a Christian or angel tapestry as with a painting, there is something extra.
There is something about the texture and drama of a number of pieces of colored thread woven together to create a large wall tapestry image that seems to bring it to life in a way only tapestries can accomplish.
It is almost as if the fabric is alive, breathing and giving the viewer a dramatic and unique view into the scene that is being depicted in the new art tapestry work.

3. Inspirational religious tapestry

If religion is very important in your life, it should also be important in your home decor.
No matter what color scheme or style of furnishings you have put into place in your home, there is definitely a place for you to add religious tapestries to accent one area.
If there is a particular verse of the bible that is important to you, look for a bible inspired tapestry that tells a story, which will bring that verse to live.
Every time you walk into this room you will be reminded of that verse and the inspiration it brings into your life.
Adding this type of religious tapestry to your home will also help you pass on your inspiration to others, as they will no doubt be able to feel it with you as they gaze upon the piece.
While many people choose religious tapestries because of their strong connections to their religion, there is also an artistic reason to choose these pieces.
They are beautiful, many even stunning works of art with the Garden of Eden themes.

Imagine images of angels floating across one room in your house.
Not only can this be inspirational or devotional, but it is also a beautiful display of artistry in the inspirational art wall tapestry piece that will cause all of your guests to take it in as they enter the room.
No matter what type of religious art you choose, and for what impact you choose them, you need to make sure they are well situated in your home.
Choose a wall where the tapestry will have appropriate space, being framed by the wall around it.
If the room where your religious art will be hanging also happens to be dimly lit, you may want to consider tract lighting or featured lighting that will give them the attention and illumination the tapestry art deserves.
