Fixing a GOBELIN to the wall

Preparation

The purchase of a tapestry is of course the very first step. Take a look at the collection Wall / Window decoration and see that at Art Deco Webstore there are beautiful GOBELINS available. Once the choice is made, then it's time to choose a nice spot and hang the tapestry. Before hanging it may be necessary to iron the tapestry. This is best done on the reverse side and with plenty of steam. Ironing on the front is also possible, but place a piece of (damp) cotton or linen on the tapestry for protection. The temperature of the iron does not have to be set at maximum.

Curtain rod

The tapestries from Art Deco Webstore are fully lined and have a tunnel at the back. A curtain rod is an easy way to hang your new artwork. Rods are available in various materials, sizes and colours. You can choose a sleek, simple rod that subtly supports the tapestry or a more striking rod with decorative ends. Curtain rods are available everywhere. Or be creative and use a bamboo stick as a rod!

Flat lath

Hanging a tapestry using a flat lath is a very effective method. All you need to do is have a wooden or aluminium lath made that can be inserted into the tunnel at the back. Make sure that the width of the lath is slightly less than the width of the tapestry. Make a small hole on the left and right of the lath. You can now attach two hooks to the wall over which the lath with the tapestry is hung. It is also possible to omit the hooks and mount the lath with the tapestry directly on the wall. With this method, the tapestry hangs very close to the wall.

Velcro®

Another method is to use self-adhesive Velcro. One side can be glued directly to the wall if the surface permits. You can also stick the Velcro on a lath and then screw it to the wall. The other side of the Velcro is glued on the back of the tapestry. Use a fairly wide Velcro strip to ensure good adhesion. This method is particularly suitable for curved walls, such as a stairwell.
