Moon With Mountains Twin Tapestry

Sixty by ninety inches, handcrafted in India: a full moon standing over a mountain range. Twin size, which means it works as a bedspread as readily as a wall hanging.

A tapestry is the cheapest large-scale thing you can do to a room, and it undoes in thirty seconds, which is most of the reason people who rent end up with several. Forty dollars covers five by seven and a half feet of wall. Nothing else at that price changes a room that much and leaves no holes worth arguing about.

The moon over mountains is the composition that does the most work in a bedroom, because it is one of the few images that reads as calm without being bland. It is also the easiest possible backdrop for an altar set against a wall; the moon sits behind whatever you put in front of it and the arrangement looks deliberate immediately.

Ceiling, wall, bed, or a window where you want light coming through the weave rather than straight into your face at seven in the morning.

Good to Know

60 by 90 inches (152 by 229 cm), cotton, about 14.6 oz. Handcrafted in India, so the print placement and color saturation vary slightly piece to piece. Small nails, pushpins or a tension rod through the top all work for hanging. Wash cold and separately.

The BigFoot tapestry is the smaller, stranger one. The Triple Moon Pentagram and the Chakra Tree are the other two on the wall. More in home decor.
