No longer deemed dated, tapestries are having a real moment in contemporary interiors. With their sense of history, depth of colour and tactility, tapestries feel warmer and more intimate than framed prints, and they're making a comeback as a big home decor trend for 2026.
'The latest wall decor trend, tapestries are coming to the forefront, as we look to create homes that feel curated and inviting, and when done correctly, can be really rich and expressive,' says Helen Ashmore, head of design, Laura Ashley. 'When incorporating them into a contemporary home, the key is to treat tapestries or tapestry-inspired elements like statement wall art where they can really bring depth, warmth and character in ways that flat paint and some modern prints can't.'
