Well in terms of game mechanics, blank or single colour carpets and tapestry are pretty easy. You are essentially building a single tile bridge out of cloth. Or hanging a cloth door on a wall with no opening where it then serves the same purpose as an engraving.

Implementing those would be relatively simple, but fleshing out the system would take more time. Most tapestries are composed of different colours, which would mean AT LEAST having enough coloured thread and a loom big enough to fit the whole thing onto it. There is the question of patterns, picture, surface (soft/hard wearing), trim and tassels maybe, i dunno.

All of that would equate to a lot of work, but the possiblities do sound quite tasty.
