Creative Ways to Use Educational Nursery Tapestries in Your Home ✨👶🧵
If you have been following along for a while, you will know just how much I adore our educational nursery tapestries 💛 Not just because they are beautiful (they really are), but because of the story, the craftsmanship and the way they fit so naturally into children’s spaces.
Each alphabet and number tapestry is handmade in Kashmir using traditional crewel embroidery techniques. Every letter and number is illustrated with charming animals and objects, all stitched by hand in vibrant wool onto thick cotton canvas. They are tactile, visual and full of character, and they work beautifully as wall hangings, soft floor mats or a gentle alternative to posters and printed charts.
I am often asked how best to use educational nursery tapestries at home, so I thought I would share a few favourite ideas and styling tips with you.
Educational Nursery Tapestries in Nurseries and Children’s Bedrooms 🧸
Nurseries and children’s bedrooms are where educational nursery tapestries really shine. They introduce letters and numbers in a calm, visual way, without overpowering the space.
Some of the most popular ways I see customers using alphabet and number tapestries include:
- Hanging an alphabet tapestry above a cot or toddler bed
- Creating a cosy reading corner with a number tapestry, books and cushions
- Pairing educational wall hangings with wooden toys and natural textures
Because natural vegetable dyes are used, the colours are rich and long lasting, but still gentle enough for little ones’ spaces. These tapestries work beautifully in gender neutral nurseries and Montessori inspired rooms and they truly grow with your child.
Alphabet and Number Tapestries for Gentle Everyday Learning 🔤🔢
One of the things I love most about alphabet and number tapestries is how learning feels completely effortless. There are no flashing lights or bright plastic finishes, just beautifully stitched letters and numbers inviting curiosity.
Educational nursery tapestries are perfect for:
- Play areas where little ones naturally spend time
- Above low shelves with books, puzzles and games
- Montessori inspired learning setups in nurseries or playrooms
They support early literacy and numeracy while still feeling like part of the decor rather than a teaching tool.
Creating a Feature Wall with Educational Nursery Tapestries 🎨
If you want to make a real statement, educational nursery tapestries work wonderfully as feature pieces. Their size, texture and hand stitched detail give them a presence that printed artwork simply cannot match.
Some ideas I often suggest:
- Letting one large alphabet tapestry take centre stage on a wall
- Mixing alphabet and number tapestries for a playful but balanced look
- Keeping the rest of the room calm and neutral so the embroidery really stands out
No two pieces are ever exactly the same, and those tiny variations in stitching and colour are part of what makes each tapestry so special.
Using Educational Tapestries Beyond the Nursery
Although they are designed with children in mind, educational nursery tapestries do not have to stay in the nursery. I absolutely love seeing how customers style them throughout their homes.
They look especially lovely:
- In hallways above a bench or console table
- In living spaces styled with plants and handmade pieces
- In jungle, safari, boho or neutral interiors
Used this way, alphabet and number wall hangings become beautiful talking points as well as meaningful learning pieces.
Layering Educational Nursery Tapestries with Rugs and Soft Furnishings
Because these tapestries are made from thick cotton canvas, they are incredibly versatile. Many families use them both on the wall and as a soft floor mat.
For a calm, cohesive look:
- Pair alphabet and number wall hangings with matching alphabet or number rugs
- Stick to a similar colour palette throughout the room
- Balance wall decor with soft furnishings so the space feels relaxed
They work beautifully in playrooms, reading corners and family spaces.

All of our educational nursery tapestries are made to order by family run artisan workshops in Kashmir. I visit India twice a year to work directly with the makers, share design ideas and make sure everything meets the standard I am proud to offer in the boutique.
