ブランケットをタペストリーとして飾る方法

Decorating with a blanket as a tapestry means hanging a cloth on the wall and enjoying it as art, without using a frame or special mounting. It's easy to try and easy to change. It's one option for using your walls more freely.

"I want to decorate my walls, but..."

Do your room's walls sometimes seem a little bare?
Do you want to hang posters or art, but find yourself hesitating?

Have you ever felt that way?

There could be several reasons. You might be afraid to put holes in the wall (especially in a rental). Frames and mounts can be heavy and difficult to handle. Even if you choose a design you like, you might get tired of it if it stays up too long.

Posters and paintings tend to create an atmosphere where it's hard to take them down once they're up. If you're framing something, it requires a certain level of commitment, and there's no casualness about trying to change the room's atmosphere.

For such concerns, decorating with a blanket might be a surprisingly good fit.

No need to make holes. Not heavy. If you don't like it, you can just take it down and use it.
Starting it as wall art and then wrapping yourself in it on a cold night—that kind of versatility is unique to blankets.

How to hang a blanket on the wall

How do you actually hang it? There are several methods. None are difficult, and no special tools are required.

Using a tension rod

This is one of the simplest methods. Just get a tension rod that fits the width of your wall, then either thread the top edge of the blanket through the rod or hook it on with clips. You can install it without making any holes in the wall.

If you match the color of the tension rod to your blanket or interior, it will create a more cohesive look. Natural wood tones or matte black are often easy to blend in.

Using drill-free hooks or clips

Adhesive hooks or clips, commonly used in rental properties, are also effective. This method involves securing the top edge of the blanket in several places with clips and then hanging it on the wall. If spaced evenly, the fabric will spread out beautifully.

Using removable adhesive hooks means you generally won't have to worry about restoring the wall to its original condition when you move out. However, since the weight capacity varies by product, it's best to choose one that matches the weight of your blanket.

Using a magnetic tapestry hanger

Magnetic hangers, sold specifically for tapestries, are excellent for securing the top edge of a fabric by simply clamping it. They apply even tension, which prevents the fabric from sagging and results in a neat finish.

Natural wood material hangers are particularly popular and often complement the texture of blankets well.

A few tips for decorating

Regardless of the method, the key is to firmly secure the top edge. Cotton materials are relatively thin and light, so if pulled evenly, they will naturally hang beautifully straight.

Hanging it vertically versus horizontally can significantly change the impression. Try it out based on your room's ceiling height and wall width.

What designs look good on the wall?

While any design can be hung on the wall, what suits best depends on the room's atmosphere. Here's how iMPeRF's four collections might look on a wall:

Abstract — For a modern, gallery-like impression

Featuring 13 designs including organic flows, geometric patterns, and glitch expressions. When hung on a wall, they create an atmosphere reminiscent of an art gallery.

They pair well with white or gray walls and are easy to use when you want to add a splash of color to a monotone interior. Hanging them vertically rather than horizontally gives them a more painterly presence.

Photography — Depth like a photographic artwork

Seven designs featuring seascapes, summer memories, and street culture motifs. These designs, which unfold like photographs, add depth to the space itself when hung on a wall.

Used horizontally, they give a panoramic feel like a landscape photograph, while vertically they create a more focused impression. Hanging them on a windowless wall can sometimes make it feel like a new window has appeared.

Illustration — The quietness of line art on your wall

Six designs featuring cityscapes, line art, and messages. Not too overpowering, yet certainly not lacking presence. They function as quiet wall art that you can look at for a long time without getting tired.

Animal — Wildness and humor on your wall

Three designs: Cow Hide, Tiger Hide, and Snake Skin. While animal prints can sometimes be quite bold, when displayed on smaller walls or in niche spaces rather than across an entire wall, they provide just the right accent.

The freedom to change it whenever you want

Posters and paintings require a certain commitment when it comes to "decorating." Framing it, fixing it to the wall, and that's it. You can't easily change it.

Blankets are different. If your mood changes, you can take down what you hung today and put up another one tomorrow.

All iMPeRF blankets are reversible. Each side has a different character, and even with the same blanket, the impression changes just by turning it over. You can hang it on the wall with one side facing out, and then use the other side when it gets chilly and you need it—that kind of versatility is possible.

The concept of "the beauty of imperfection" is at the heart of iMPeRF. Don't you think a slightly imperfect space feels more inviting and livable than a perfectly arranged one?

Hang it on the wall today, and drape it over your lap on a cold day. I believe that kind of free usage is what makes incorporating a blanket as art into your room so interesting.

iMPeRF's art blankets are available in M (130x160cm) for ¥18,880 and L (160x200cm) for ¥28,880 (as of April 2026).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hang it on the wall even if I'm renting?

Yes, by using a tension rod or removable adhesive hooks/clips, you can install it without making holes in the wall. This method is easy to try even if you're concerned about restoring the wall to its original condition when you move out. Note that the weight capacity of adhesive hooks varies by product, so choose one that can support the weight of your blanket.

What size is suitable for decorating as a tapestry?

M (130x160cm) is a good size for single-person apartments or compact wall spaces. L (160x200cm) is suitable for larger walls or when you want to create a more impactful and substantial presence. Consider the size of the wall you want to decorate and the overall balance of the room when choosing.

Will the blanket sag when hung on the wall?

If the top edge is securely and evenly fixed, it will naturally hang neatly. iMPeRF blankets are 100% cotton and relatively thin, making them easy to handle, and the fabric's weight will cause them to hang straight down. If using clips, it's important to space them evenly.

If you want to decorate your wall but framing is too difficult, or you're renting and don't want to make holes, knowing that blankets are an option might broaden your choices a bit.
