Society6 Tapestries

Hello Friends!

My new home has a problem - not a big problem, more like a First World Problem. We have one very large expansive wall in our family room, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to decor it.

I thought about shelves, but that would look awkward, as they wouldn't expand the entire length of the room.

Then I thought, why not a gallery wall?! The problem is the wall is really too large to hang that many pictures. Plus I try to invest in art that I really love. It would take me forever and a day and a hefty investment to collect all those pictures. Plus, I have another idea for a gallery wall on a smaller wall in that room.

Ruling out shelves and a gallery wall, I was left with two ideas. The first was wallpaper. I've always loved wallpaper and wanted to showcase it in some form in my home. Here are some of my current favourites, all from Anthropologie:

The triangular copper wallpaper would look great on such a large wall. The pattern is minimalist enough that the wall would not look overcrowded. I've always been a sucker for black and white  florals, whether they are cartoonish and graphic, or more realistic. And the polka dots are just adorable and fun. They may not fit into the rest of the decor of the room, but I loved them so much I wanted to include them in my favourites.

The second option I thought of was painting the wall a darker colour, something like Benjamin Moore's Midnight Oil:

Then I'd like to add one very large piece of art. The problem is, art is very, very expensive. That's where Society6 comes in to play. They recently transformed many of their art prints into large tapestries.

I'd like to keep the art monochromatic, as most of the other decor in the room is black/white/grey.
These are the looks I'm loving from Society6:

Top Row: 1,2,3
Bottom Row: 1,2,3

The only thing I'd have to do is mount the tapestry on canvas, another great DIY project - though I'm not sure I trust myself with a staple gun!

Happy Sunday everyone!
