A Shiva Family Tapestry for a Meditation Room
Written and reviewed by The Kriya Yogi · Updated 3 October 2026
The short answer
A meditation room often has one wall meant to hold the eye while sitting, and a Shiva family tapestry is a common way to give that wall a focal image without furniture. Our tapestry is printed artwork available in several sizes up to 100 × 150 cm, so you can match it to the actual wall rather than the other way round.

Choosing a size for the actual wall you have
A tapestry sized for a large living-room wall can overwhelm a small meditation room, while one sized too small can get lost and not read as a focal point from across the floor cushion. Measure the wall you intend to use before choosing — the largest size at roughly 100 × 150 cm suits a proper feature wall, while the smaller sizes fit better above a low shelf or a narrower stretch of wall.
Positioning it relative to where you sit
The point of a focal image in a meditation room is usually that it sits in your eyeline, or close to it, from where you actually sit to practice. Hanging it on the wall you face while seated, rather than behind you or to one side, makes more sense than treating it purely as decoration for the room as a whole.
Hanging a lightweight tapestry properly
Because it's a lightweight printed fabric rather than a framed piece, it hangs flat against the wall with simple fixings — a rod pocket, clips, or small nails depending on how you choose to mount it. Smooth it out before fixing the top edge so it hangs evenly rather than bunching at the corners.
Keeping the room otherwise simple
A meditation room tends to work best with one clear focal point rather than several competing images. If you're adding this tapestry to a wall that already has other art or hangings, consider removing the others so the room keeps a single, uncluttered point for the eye to settle on.
Choose something else if…
- Very small rooms with no single wall large enough to hold a 100 × 150 cm piece without crowding.
- Anyone wanting a framed, rigid artwork rather than a lightweight hung fabric.
