10 reasons to hang a quilt on your wall
Although wall hangings seem like a modern day trend the practice of hanging textiles on walls goes back centuries to medieval tapestries and earlier. Quilts are a great way to incorporate textile wall art in the home; here are my 10 reasons why you should hang one in yours.
Quilted art adds a feeling of cosiness and warmth to a room.
Quilts are super easy to hang and move, as I explain here.
There is no need for a large heavy frame.
Quilts are a safer and softer alternative to frames and canvases above beds or cribs, particularly in earthquake zones.
They are easy to dust down and clean, check my simple steps here.
You won’t get any reflection or glare from sunlight.
Quilts look different throughout the day depending on the light, showing off all the texture and handcrafted details.
Quilts are versatile; larger wall quilts can be removed to use as throw blankets.
Quilts are tactile and invite interaction, particularly fun for little ones exploring different textures.
Most important of all, you should hang a quilt in your home because it makes you happy!
