Tapestry pillows

In recent years, tapestry pillows and covers made of this beautiful and unique material are gaining more and more popularity during interior design. At the same time, they are used not only in homes, but also in a number of public institutions, for example, in cafes and restaurants.

The gobelin cloth is a fabric with a special dense weaving in three-four threads and a pattern woven on it. The methods of weaving can be very diverse, which allows you to make a tapestry two-layer, smooth-haired or melange. The history of the creation of such a fabric dates back to the days of the Egyptian pharaohs. It was then that the art of creating exquisite textile fabrics with a pattern originated.

This type of fabric received special popularity already in the 17th century in France. Actually, the very name "tapestry" appeared precisely at this time - after the brothers Tapestries, who created the first canvas. At that time, such a fabric was highly valued, since the masters spent a lot of time on its creation - one canvas could have been created over the years.

Today tapestry is experiencing another peak of popularity (although, strictly speaking, he was never forgotten, and he was always in demand). Only at the present time, people have replaced the machines, which significantly accelerated the production of fabric and made it more accessible.

The composition of the modern tapestry canvas can include both natural and artificial materials.

To create it most often used:

• wool of various animals;
• silk threads;
• cotton fiber;
• linen;
• acrylic;
• polyester fibers;
• viscose.

Modern products, including pillows and tapestry covers, have the following characteristics:

• ease;
• strength;
• ease of care;
• resistance to UV rays;
• color fastness (do not fade or fade);
• durability;
• attractiveness;
• practicality.

All these qualities make tapestry things versatile and multifunctional. They can be used while reading in a chair, while relaxing on a sofa, in a car during long and long trips, on a bench on a veranda and even in a hammock in the garden. Everywhere they will help to create a cozy atmosphere and increase the level of comfort, help you relax and have a good rest.

The use of high-tech equipment and methods of coloring allow manufacturers of tapestry pillows and pillowcases (covers) to create true masterpieces for every taste.

For design models are used:

• animated scenes;
• motifs of fairy tales and legends;
• seascapes;
• car images;
• fruit and berry theme;
• geometric and ethnic ornaments.

One of the most popular themes for tapestry is always nature and animals. For example, in the famous series of tapestry products “Balovny”, the plot with dachshund is widely used. It appears in various images. Tapestry covers with a horse, with representatives of the cat breed, are in demand among wildlife lovers. Such pillows like both adults and children.

Tapestry pillows can be used in any room of the apartment or house.

When choosing a plot, you should consider the place where they will be located:

• In the dining room, floral motifs or still lifes with fruits and vegetables will look most appropriate.
• For the bedroom most suitable romantic images.
• For the living room - models with a variety of ornaments and reproductions of famous works of artists.
• For the nursery - fabulous characters, funny animals.
• For cars - images of wild animals.

Tapestry pillows will look beautiful and original in a room where similar fabric is used in other parts of the interior (for example, when decorating walls). In this case, professional designers advise to stick to a similar plot for all the details. One of the options for such a design can be tapestry wallpaper with the image of the Colosseum and a few pillows on the couch and armchairs with chariots and galloping horses.

Despite the fact that the tapestry is dustproof enough, the pillows from it must be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. In case of significant contamination they can be washed. Many advise to wash tapestry products by hand, however, the development of modern technologies allows you to avoid this measure - just run the washing machine in the mode of "gentle washing".

In this case, it is necessary to observe the following rules:

• set the centrifuge at the minimum number of turns;
• Do not launch other products with the tapestry;
• Do not use too much heat.

Experts recommend storing products from tapestry in places that are well ventilated.At the same time, it is better not to fold the pillowcases so that they do not form creases or folds that can disturb the pattern and make the covers unusable.

In general, reviews of those who purchased tapestry pillows or decorative covers indicate that the popularity of products made from this material is not accidental. Firstly, consumers note that tapestry products can transform absolutely any interior, add originality and style to it. Secondly, performance is also appreciated - from functionality to durability.

In addition, many are attracted by the idea that the presence of such elements in the interior allows you to touch, join the ancient art. Most often, due to the unique qualities of the tapestry, its products “fall in love” with themselves literally at first sight. Therefore, many buyers, having bought one pad “on trial”,after some time, they decide to purchase several more copies.
