Floral Tapestry Art: Elegant Sophistication for the Modern Home
Timeless and classical, the floral tapestry adds that elegant touch to a contemporary home. A still life floral work can blend with modern furniture and enhance a room, bringing nature indoors.
Contemporary floral design
At one time floral tapestries felt rather dated, and from centuries past. Many classical paintings of floral still life can be found in museums. What is it that makes them suitable for the contemporary home?
The focus of decorating the modern home is on creating light and open space. A well selected tapestry with natural and vivid colouring enhances space and creates a feature within that space. Flowers have been used in metaphor, either as their delicate nature, or within the language of flowers, and can simultaneously promote a message of friendship, optimism, and natural beauty.
With a wide range of floral themed tapestries available it is possible to select a work that creates your meaning and reflect your message. Your style can be incorporated into metaphor by choosing one that appeals to your individual taste.
The Ivy Column
Consider the timeless appeal of The Ivy Column with its detailed display of foliage surrounding a country house, a pond reflecting the morning light. Lush flowers appear in the foreground with jewel like colours. All nature is seen in this elegant work of art.
Simple and natural Beauty
Some would consider less to be more in a picture. The Prestige (Dawn) and the Prestige (Midday) focus on a simple tree. A light but dramatic tableau that enables us to dip into the fantasy world, get touches of nature enable the real world to shine.
Bright complexity
Tapestries can impart complex perspectives yet add that simple bright natural feel to a wall. Examples such as the Directoire tapestries, the ivory Mural Tapestry and the Floral Decadence, all capture the cheerful colour of flora and give that contemporary freshness to a modern room. On the other hand the Oudenaarde Cabbage Leaves design has such detailed complexity and a rich elegance that it makes a bold and fresh statement to any modern wall with its classical yet exotic charm.
The simple and the complex
Some of the most impressive yet effective tapestries in a floral portfolio draw on a combination of nature, light and complexity. The Classical Rose tapestry is simple yet exudes a complex and detailed appearance, provided through light and giving depth and clarity to such an elegant piece.
Floral tapestry in a modern setting
There are so many ways that nature can be invited into the modern home and expressed through a well selected tapestry. The simple design to the classical detailed work, the exotically elegant and bold statements, and the metaphoric messages spoken through light and nature, all provide a pastiche of choice for those selecting that timeless piece for the home. Light and space is enhanced by these artistic expressions of nature and will enhance any contemporary wall, as well as provide a mode for reflection into the metaphor of meaning behind each masterpiece.
