Tuscan Tapestry Art

Description

• The weaving process used in the making of a tapestry takes yarns of various colors and materials to create a design. The artist wraps the strands of yarn together to create a scene or design as rich in detail as a painting. Yarns made of wool, silk or metallic materials create the scenes, which fit in the Tuscan style of decorating.

Mediterranean Décor

• When decorating a home with a Tuscan or Mediterranean décor, use wrought iron to hang the tapestries from the walls. Pieces in wrought iron toppers for tapestries may be quite elaborate and add to the textured look of the wall art.

Colors

• Tuscan tapestries and home décor should have the natural colors of the Italian countryside and include sky blue, lavender, terracotta and yellow. Rustic shades of brown and burnt orange are also common in a Mediterranean style décor. Earthy colors and aged metallic shades work well in a Tuscan tapestry. Use the colors of the Mediterranean Sea in tapestry art as well, such as sea green and ocean blue.

Tuscan Scenery

• Tapestry art that depicts the Tuscan countryside works well in a rustic, Mediterranean style home. A tapestry of fields of lavender and the bright blue sky above would look good on the wall in a Tuscan style home. Use wrought iron bars and toppers to decorate the piece and create the look of a window into an Italian scene.
