Carpets to decorate walls in an original way

However, hanging a rug on the wall is not as easy as hanging a painting. If it weighs little you can still use hanging systems more or less easy, but as soon as they begin to have a considerable weight, they will not resist simply gluing them to the wall or placing them with staples. In this case, it is best to place them in a frame that will be the one that will be fixed to the wall to hold them.

As for typologies, depending on the type of wall to be dressed you can choose between round, rectangular, square, hallway, tapestries (more similar to fabrics than to a carpet itself), esparto, wicker, velvety ... Of course, if you opt for pile or wool carpets, always choose them short pile, because the long pile ones usually do not look very good on the wall.

Although there is an infinite range on the market, here are a few ideas for your inspiration.

Rectangular

The classic of rugs to decorate walls. Being the most typical format, most of the walls decorated by carpets usually have this format, either placed vertically or horizontally, depending on the wall. Widely used in headboards or decorating the area above the sofa.

Dreamcatcher type

This type of carpet has a somewhat particular format and is far from conventional. Most of the time they are made of macramé and are usually hung on a stick that is fixed to the wall, often with a cord that comes out from each side.

They are very decorative in Mediterranean or neutral style environments, because although they usually have relief, their tones range from ecru, white and beige.

Mandalas

If your style is colorful, eclectic and with an oriental touch, rugs or tapestries with Hindu mandala patterns can give your living room a very particular boho chic touch.

Ethnic carpets

If your thing is the Mexican or African aesthetic, try placing rugs in reddish and earth tones, with patterned designs characteristic of those areas. You will give a very exotic touch to any wall where they are hung.

Geometric

If you flee from the overloaded and the overdose of color, you can opt for geometric rugs in little tones, which give a very decorative air to the wall as a picture. For a more personal or bohemian touch you can choose them with bangs.

Contemporary

It seems that hanging rugs on a wall is often at odds with more minimalist and contemporary styles, as they shy away from the wrinkles and folds that a rug can create on the wall.

However, an extraordinarily modern aesthetic can be achieved by using large rugs in harmonious tones as a frame, placing several neutral models next to each other without much pattern, or by making creative compositions, for example by framing the rug as a frame or placing several plain rugs on top of each other.

Corridor

Another very interesting option is to place hallway rugs (narrow and elongated) on a not very wide wall, or placing several if the width is greater.

Compositions

Another curious and original option is to use compositions of several rugs in the same space. Sometimes they can be on the same wall (either framed in combination with real pictures or forming a set hanging from a bar), or on different walls and surfaces, framing the whole.

In short, a lot of options for all tastes. Here are a few more images to convince you.
