Tribal rugs of Iran were known by the cities where the wool and silk rugs were made.  These cities are Isahan, Nain, Qum, Tabrizm.  Persian city carpets are floral patterns with leaves, buds and flowers.  These patterns are distinctively different than other weavings. They have a very soft intricate flow to them.  Their color schemes are very delicate tones that signify harmony. Similarities of Persian rugs are partly due to past influence political, as well as the common ties of race and religion.

The Afshar tribal rugs are a mystery to antique dealers.

A beautiful work-of-art to be admired and hung on your walls to enjoy is the Vitruvian Man Tapestry. We will tell you why this art is so special and why it’s an uplifting work to add to your home decor.

The figure of the Vitruvian Man, popularized in the movie The Da Vinci Code, is a world-renowned sketch created by the genius Leonardo da Vinci, sometime in the 15th century. The figure depicts two superimposed nude male figures, with their legs and arms wide apart and inscribed simultaneously in a circle and square. Also called the Proportions of Man, or the Canon of Proportions, the Vitruvian Man was actually named for the man who created him, named Vitruvius. Vitruvius was a Roman architect who was a proponent of the Sacred Geometry put forth by Pythagoras himself.  He designed his temples according to the proportions of the human body, which he considered to be perfect. Da Vinci was the only artist among many who tried and succeeded in depicting Vitruvius’ perfect man. The Vitruvian man is said to be the most accurate portrayal of the human body. Today, the sketch of the Vitruvian Man is housed in the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Italy, and is only taken out for special events.

Most everybody is familiar with this sketch.  Almost five hundred years after Da Vinci’s death, the Vitruvian Man still remains a staple in many a science book or geometry book. It has also often reproduced by other artists and savvy entrepreneurs, because of its enduring appeal. Over the centuries, it has become an icon and a standard of perfect human beauty. The painting has come to be seen not only as the prime example of the physical body, but it has also become to be regarded as a sketch that relates the body’s proportions to spiritual dimensions.

Truly, there are many who derive inspiration from seeing the sketch. You too, can feel the transformative power of the Vitruvian Man by having a reproduction in your own home. Whether it be in the form of a print, or a poster, a wall décor or a tapestry, the Vitruvian man is certainly a wonderful addition to your own home. Pair this up with other Da Vinci items, such as a Mona Lisa print, a reproduction of the Last Supper. Most of these times can be found in your local art gallery or online. Indeed, the Vitruvian Man is a timeless accessory. It speaks to us even in these contemporary times. Whether you’re a scientist, an art lover, or whether you’re simply seeking for more inspiration in your own life, a reproduction of the Vitruvian Man in the wall tapestry form is what you need.

Rumi is always looking to the spiritual style and feeling for your home decor. Lets take a look at some ideas that align with Rumi.

Since home is where the heart is lets start with broad strokes and ideas. For the living room and dining room, you will probably find several tapestries most suited to your purposes amongst the Heirloom, French or Medieval collection. Within these categories, you will find even more categories. Hallways look superb with the famous artist’s classics. Even if you are not an art lover, you are going to adore these tapestries.

The Classics tapestries are wonderful for the children’s rooms with those of the Unicorns for the girls, and the receivership of knighthood in The Accolade in the Medieval collection for the boys.

For the bathroom, one could almost choose any one of the tapestries. One thing is for sure whichever one you choose is going to set the atmosphere. You can choose any of the Victorian or antique eras. You could go with vogue, which in a modern type home atmosphere the vogue is fantastic. Then so are the famous artists tapestries. Even more spectacular for here would be one of the chenille tapestries. Then again, these can be used as throws as well and work extremely well in the bedrooms.

As you can see, there is no shortage of tapestries for the walls or as throws. Once you have viewed the workmanship and detail you will immediately see why they are so easy to work with and just how tantalizing it becomes to want to make them the focal point of the room. They deserve to be treated as such. Their softness yet sharpness keep them looking new and vibrant for years to come when properly cared for.

A tapestry is another form of art that people have been using for centuries now to decorate their walls and adorn their homes decor. It can come in various shapes, sizes, designs and themes. No matter what your style or taste is, be it classic or contemporary, you are sure to find something that will suit your needs perfectly. Wall decor to excite you and make your home sing is looking for you… or are you looking for it? Look no further… wall decor to make you happy.

It’s always nice to bring a bit of nature indoors especially in the spring. We’ve waited a long time for the warmth of spring, summer and fall and it’s so tempting to open all the windows and breath in the fresh air. It’s uplifting and makes ones spirit soar to see all the signs of nature, as well as feel the warm wind on our face. A famous and beautiful work of art by Ranson is the Tapestry Apple Tree with Red Fruit. It’s great because it really does bring a bit of nature right into the livingroom and makes a little bit of your spirit soar.

There is this wonderful floral tapestry by Van Gogh with the most beautiful blues and motif woven in France. It is special because of it’s style in the weave, shape and size, but mostly for the beautiful work of art by Van Gogh.

Floral tapestries are exceptionally popular and this is no exception.

The European tapestries industry, like other enterprises, was influenced by the tumultuous events of the times. Once the center of tapestry production, the Netherlands’ war of independence from Spain (Eighty Years War, 1568–1648) disrupted that industry and caused many of that country’s foremost artists and weavers to relocate to places such as Britain, Italy and France. The setting up of new workshops by Flemish immigrants greatly expanded and improved tapestry manufacture in these countries. Many of their sovereigns, such as Cosimo de’ Medici of Florence, followed the example of Louis XIV and commissioned hangings for display in royal settings, such as Tapestry, Gardens at Versailles woven in France.

Area rugs can make a home warm and inviting… why not shop around and get the best look with the best wear and value for your money? Buying a Persian Rug is like buying a heirloom you can pass down for generations and each person getting this little treasure is thrilled with their gift. It’s a nice option when it comes to fine living and enhancing our lives with simple pleasures.

Surround yourself with beauty inside and out. That is your body, mind and spirit… as well as your home on the inside and out. Feeling good in the comfort of your home is priceless. Persian Rugs can help.

Finding just the right tapestry wall hanging is brilliant. Quite a feast in and of itself. Even tho online shops make this daunting experience a much easier process than ever before, it continues to be a bit of a challenge when you are looking for just the right color, design and size.

Now that you’ve decided upon your purchase, you are ready to make another decision. To add or not to add tapestry accessories? That is the question and it can make or break the look of your stylish and beautiful investment. I think it should be understood that some wall hangings do look better without the tassel adornment. However, when it comes to many of the European and other classic’s in tapestries the tassels are almost a requirement to complete the look.

Take a look at Decor4u.com, which is a home decor shop offering a large assortment of tapestries and tapestry accessories. You will find both tapestries with and without the tassels. It can help in that decision making process to view a few and then let your imagination go wild. Enjoy.

With the changing of seasons people are moving inside, as Fall is coming on fast and the chill is in the air. Beautiful as it is, it’s jacket weather and possibly more in the wee hours of the morning.

Fires are being built. Kettles of soup and stews are on the stove. Birds are going in the oven. It’s time to come inside where it’s warm and enjoy some company, good food and conversation.

It’s also time to change the look of the room from summer to fall colors. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is to bring out the throws to curl up with on the sofa and maybe change up the wall decor. Yes, add that Autumn to Winter Tapestry to the wall over the hearth. It’s pretty fabulous. All fall colors and a nice feel to the out-of-doors in this hunting scene. If your looking for something a bit different take a look around in the Tapestry Shop for some fine Tapestries woven in France, Italy, Belgium and in the mountains of America.

The den seems to be his domain… at times. The office seems to be his turf, always. So why not pick a gift for the man in your life that will be sophisticated and stylish with him in mind for his arena?

The Olde World Maps Tapestry is popular with men. They simply seem to find this work-of-art works for them, as it’s masculine and interesting as it shows the whole world and all it’s wonder and excitement.

Travel is inspired by the visual of the world in his world, too. Looking for a little get-a-way? This can be the hint he’s been needing.

When you put together your home with all your furnishings a wonderful evolution should take place and bring you into a magic space. However, not all the time does this happen. Lets look at why not..

Clutter. Yup, many times we simply don’t take the time to de-clutter junk we just don’t know what to do with. And it can pile up, big time.

Wrong Design. Sometimes we have the large bookcase right near the door and the beautiful desk in the back of the room. This blocks the flow into your room. It might just work better to swap those two pieces of furniture and see how the flow begins to return to the room. Look around for elements of a room as you enter it with smaller items first and flowing into the room we find the larger pieces. It can bring about a better look almost instantly.

We will talk more about this important topic of home furnishings, Rumi style soon.

I’m trimming my apple trees today and already have a blister on two places on my hand. Should have used gloves. Anyway, the branches are loaded with apples, and there is enough for all..

The deer come in from the meadow lands and eat them in the wee morning hours. The neighbor comes by and “sneaks” them off the tree. He sees me watching him and he looks guilty. I smile and wave as I drive by on my way out. He still looks guilty. Geeze, he can have barrels of apples, because the trees are loaded, actually over loaded and need to be pruned back. I smile again and drive off. I kind-of like it he has this guilty look on his face, since he has no guts to simply ask and would rather “steel” them right out from under my nose. So, I guess I’ll let him feel “funny” about it. I don’t get it, but hey it’s a beautiful day and it simply is of no real concern. However, I’m playing golf later on and the blisters just might be a problem. humm…, maybe I need to wear two gloves for golf, today. We’ll see…

I now have three huge piles of limbs and the apples are still on the branches and I will leave them that way for a while, so the deer can come by and eat to their hearts content. It always reminds me of the famous French artist, Paul Ranson’s Apple Tree with Red Fruit Tapestry Art wall hanging, when I trim the branches overflowing with bright red apples. Both beautiful. Both charming. Both delicious, in their own way.

Some of the nicest Medieval tapestries are classics where the stories from those days long gone are woven into the tapestry. These are the  stories of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot and the days of knights and castles, such as Camelot. Might and magic tales are a fun and educational for family and friends.

Classic Wall Decor is a great way to enjoy a work-of-art and educate your kids with these fabulous stories from the romantic days of Camelot.

When your life is in balance and your spirit is soaring, usually the home inside compliments the outdoor space, so you have a perfect view from within your home to the outside.

If you are looking at beauty in what you have taken the time to arrange for in your home decor, such as a large tapestry wall hanging in your favorite room, then you should not only see what’s in the room as beautiful, but through the windows during the day you should be able to look out at your beautiful garden flourishing with color. Birds will be singing. Butterflies gently landing on flowering plants and trees. The green grass and foliage on a sunny day with blue sky filled big puffy white clouds.. it’s actually the whole composition you are now expanding into. You become one with your environment and part of the painting.. like a work-of-art.

Does this make sense? A work-of-art can be just one piece or it can be more. With interior and exterior design you are walking around in the painting, essentially speaking. And that’s how you can get your spirit to soar effortlessly when you surround yourself with style, nature and compositional beauty.

Enjoy you home, your garden and your life.
