A few decades ago, tapestries were all the rage. Recently, fabric wall decor has seen a revival. MyHOMEBOOK editor Katharina Regenthal reveals what we’re now hanging on our walls.

The decor theme for 2025 is “More is More”–at least according to the latest Pinterest trend report. What could be more fitting than fabric wall decor? After being a staple in nearly every home decades ago, it’s making a comeback. Discover how to integrate fabric wall decor into your home and why it’s trending again here.

Why Fabric Wall Decor is Experiencing a Revival

There are several reasons why fabric wall decor is making a comeback now. Thanks to its texture, this type of wall art adds warmth to a room, making it cozier and more inviting–something desirable in any home.

Additionally, the trend is moving away from cold, clean interior styles. Instead, warm colors and soft shapes are in vogue. Fabric wall decor is the ideal choice, even for those who prefer a more restrained and minimalist look in their home.

4 Variations for Fabric Wall Decor

There are various ways to incorporate fabric decor on your walls. The classic wall tapestry is particularly popular again. Macramé is also considered fabric wall decor, allowing for personal creativity. Here are some variations:

Wall Tapestry

Wall tapestries are classic fabric wall decor–yet they don’t appear old and dusty. Modern and fresh versions are now available for hanging. Graphic, floral, or organic patterns are especially popular. Colors like cream, sand, greige, or warm browns are favored–for those wanting more color, options with bold accents in pink or royal blue are available.

Beautiful Fabrics

With fabric wall decor, you can get creative and frame something yourself. Some may know the feeling of walking through the fabric section and finding a beautiful fabric without knowing what to do with it. So why not frame it and hang it on the wall?

Textile wall decorations don’t always have to be large. Whether it’s a piece of carpet or other fabric wall decor, even a small version can make a big impact. This can be easily achieved with a small, square frame. Frame the piece of fabric and hang it alongside other artworks or framed pictures–done.

On Canvas

A beautiful piece of fabric doesn’t necessarily need a frame–it can also be stretched over a canvas. To add more texture, you can be a bit less precise and let the fabric form gentle waves instead of pulling it taut. This gives the impression that the artwork is three-dimensional and extends into the room.
