Trendy again: Oriental carpets on the wall

Rugs enrich the interior design. Lying on the floor, they bring colour, warm feet and a feel-good atmosphere into your own four walls. The beloved living environment gains in design and style through a matching carpet. But while in our latitudes carpets are only used lying down, in other regions of the world they like to hang on the wall. On the wall? Of course! It doesn't always have to be a picture or photo, carpets are also an excellent wall decoration. However you should consider here some points. You can find out what these are in our new article.

What rooms benefit from the carpet on the wall?

While carpets on the floor provide pretty accents in all living environments, carpets on the wall are difficult to use in small rooms, as they can be overwhelming depending on their size. Large rooms in particular benefit from this, as their spaciousness requires a little bit of cosiness. Here a carpet offers itself as a wall hanging, because it takes the space a part of the width and gives itself an eye-catcher, which works as a quiet point.
If you like the idea of a carpet on the wall at first sight, the following question certainly arises:
How can I hang a carpet with several KG weights? Flat-woven rugs such as kelims are an easy task in the truest sense of the word, but hand-knotted oriental rugs, for example, are much heavier, weighing up to 30 kg.

Fastening a heavy carpet to the wall: simple and short explanation!

There are a number of options for attaching a heavy carpet to a wall - one of the living trends of 2019. These are also easy for you to implement at home. Provided you consider some points.

Framing: Wood as an exciting contrast to the carpet

You can build a frame for your rug from a few wooden strips and angles. The strips should be about ten centimetres longer than the carpet. Depending on the weight of the carpet, select the strips strong enough so that they can carry the carpet. You can clamp the carpet with U-angles. Like a heavy painting, you should fix the frame to the wall with dowels so that your carpet hangs firmly.

Fastening with a panel of fabric

Another way of fastening is by sewing a robust fabric web or fabric frame onto the back of your carpet. Sew the panel as tightly as possible so that the fabric cannot be torn out of the back. With a nice fabric cord you make a hanger which is then attached to the wall.

The curtain as a model: loops hold your rug firmly to the wall.

Like a curtain with loops, you can also loop your rug and then pull it onto a pole that is screwed to the wall. You should bring some sewing skills with you. The loops must be strong and durable. If you dare to do this, then this option can also look very stylish.

One last piece of advice: you should like it!

Don't follow every trend. You should like your own four walls yourself. So choose the rug and furnishing style that suits your ideas. Whether rug on the wall or on the floor - trend back or forth: you should feel good.
