Tapestries Tapestries are rooted in centuries of French craftsmanship, and you can find them in nearly every home or market in France, Gwen says. They range from small, frameable pieces to museum-quality drapes that stretch to 14 feet long. “They’re very collectible,” she says. “Now, all of a sudden, they’ve become really, really hot again in the U.S.” Long before they were a decor trend, French tapestries were symbols of status and artistry, so treat them like the statement pieces they are. On a blank wall where you might default to a gallery wall, consider one of these woven textiles. A historic scene or rich floral pattern can add texture and depth to a space and can look surprisingly modern when paired with clean-lined furniture.
