This 600-Year-Old Fabric Design Is Having a Moment — It Brings a Sense of 'Age and History' to Your Home

Living room with verdure print sofa, orange rug, leather armchair, silver and glass coffee table, chrome side table with lamp, and colorful artwork on wall behind the sofa.

I've always struggled with art. My partner and I have completely opposing taste, so we've never really been able to settle on something we both like. So when it comes to filling the blank spaces on our walls, I've had to get creative. The best solution I've found so far? Tapestries featuring lush and leafy verdure prints.

It feels rather disingenuous to refer to tapestries as a modern fabric trend, but they are — the 600-year-old statement textile is having its moment again. And while there's only so many you can hang on your walls (honestly, I'd say one is enough), I've found the next best thing is wrapping your furniture and furnishings in the beautiful botanical motif.
