The carpet as a work of art: This is how the staging works

According to their nature, carpets among the furnishings of the apartment, which in the truest sense are often kicked with feet. However, it is completely normal for things that are placed on the ground to receive less attention in everyday life.

This can be attributed to the fact that they are not in the direct field of vision or at eye level.

However, this is not the only reason that speaks in favor of simply turning the carpet into a real work of art for a change. This is possible by hung up carpet on the wall

Wall carpets for special accents

Many people who are interested in modern interior facilities have long known that carpets that are placed on the wall can have an effect as decorative as in the form of classic flooring. In addition, they also assume that they are extremely comfortable on the wall.

Real wall carpets often fall out and also have a more striking feel. So there are certain differences between a conventional carpet and a carpet for the wall design.

 This is how carpets and tapiseries differ

Wand carpets are also referred to as tapestries . A traditional tapestry is a wall carpet that has a motif or an image. However, the biggest difference is in the manufacturing process. Normal carpets are woven while tapestries are acted.

Nevertheless, commercially available carpets can also serve as wall decoration . It should only be noted that the majority of the normal floor carpets have a higher weight than the special wall carpets. For this reason, the prerequisite is always in professional attachment so as not to risk any damage to the walls or the carpet.

The attachment to the wall basically succeeds, the easier the smaller and lighter the chosen carpet is. In addition, the wall itself must of course also be suitable for hanging the carpet.

The attachment of the carpet to the wall

Wood frame wall carpet

For example, a carpet can be staged excellently with a wooden frame on the wall. Four wooden strips are necessary for the construction of the frame, the length of which exceeds the carpet by ten centimeters each.

In addition, both the thickness and the color of the wood should match the weight and look of the carpet. The more weight the carpet weighs the more thicker and more stable.

The carpet is then clamped in the frame on its lower and upper side. For this purpose, so-called U-angles are to be used, which are firmly screwed in the wooden strips at regular intervals. In the next step, the attachment follows the wall. For this, the frame is screwed into the wall with four dowels.

However, a frame made of fabric is also conceivable as an alternative. Long strips of fabric are required for this. A stable cord is then attached to these as a hanger. The fabric should also have the necessary stability and correspond to the dimensions of the carpet both in its width and in length.

With regard to its nature, the cord must be able to keep the carpet safe. Finally, the hanger has to be sewn with the fabric railway. Ideally, a resistant cotton thread is used in a double location.

In addition, it is also possible to fasten the carpet with steels on the wall. These are thin slats made of wood that have integrated tears.

The booklet must be adapted to the outer edges of the carpet before hanging.

With the help of a water scale , the strips must then be attached to the wall. The carpet is then attached to the strip.
