    Learn about HCHOME—you might find the answers here.

    What distinguishes HeartCraft woven tapestries from standard printed tapestries?

    HCHOME: Unlike mass-produced prints using synthetic inks on thin fabric, HeartCraft tapestries are authentic woven pieces. This means the design is an integral part of the fabric itself, woven from threads of various colors. This traditional method delivers a substantial, high-quality drape; a rich texture that absorbs rather than reflects light; and a “living” quality that adds architectural depth to a room—qualities impossible to replicate with flat printing.

    Are HeartCraft's decorative items suitable for wabi-sabi or rustic interior design?

    HCHOME: Yes, our collection is specifically curated for these aesthetics. Our wabi-sabi pillows feature hand-knotted cotton and linen, showcasing natural imperfections and organic textures. For rustic or dark academic enthusiasts, our medieval-inspired tapestries and vintage-style brass wind chimes provide essential historical “storytelling” elements for these styles.

    How does my purchase support education for children in Bali?

    HCHOME: HeartCraft is committed to a “giveback” model. 2% of the proceeds from every order is directly donated to projects supporting education for children in Bali. By choosing our handcrafted products, you're not just decorating your home; you're contributing to sustainable community development and providing educational and residential resources for students in many of the regions that inspire our craftsmanship.

    Are the materials used in your cushions and tapestries natural?

    HCHOME: We prioritize high-quality natural fibers, including wool, linen, and cotton. For instance, our 17th-century style tapestries are often woven from wool to ensure durability and rich color; while our “Plant-Dyed” collection uses organic pigments to guarantee a low environmental footprint, featuring a soft, understated color palette suitable for home use.

    What is the best way to hang heavy woven tapestries without damaging the wall?

    HCHOME: For larger tapestries, we recommend using a sturdy decorative rod threaded through the integrated sleeve on the back of the piece. If you prefer a “floating” appearance, insert wooden slats into the sleeve and hang them on two small nails. This ensures even weight distribution, preventing the fabric from stretching or sagging over time. After placing your order, an email will be sent with hanging recommendations from our interior designers.

    How should I clean and maintain my hand-knotted cotton-linen pillow?

    HCHOME: To protect the intricate knots and natural fibers, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can cause natural linen to shrink and compromise the integrity of the hand-woven texture.
