Ideas to decor your home with fabric
Hang a shabby chic closet curtain door room divider
@etsy
You didn’t see that coming.
And so didn’t I!
We see regular curtains every day. But a good way to use them is as a room divider.
You don’t need to buy an expensive door. Just use a few strips of vintage fabrics covered with gorgeous florals and tie them to the side of the room dividier or walked thru easily.
These chic curtain vintage and antique linens are quite versatile.
So you can display them in any opening for a perfect gypsy, boho or shabby chic look.
DIY IKEA pillows
@fynesdesigns
That was a no-brainer, right?
I agree that decorating with fabric doesn’t get any better than that.
But instead of buying ready-made pillows, you can DIY them at home.
Here’s how you can make a pillow from an IKEA KLEJS Rug.
Frame pretty fabric

How do you decorate a wall with material?If you’ve got any fabric in your stash, just frame it and put it on display. Believe me you’ll enjoy looking at it every day.
Here’s another good idea: Frame bright colored fabric,such as cotton, silk, linen khaki, etc. in an abstract pattern for art in your dining or living room.
It’s an easy project. And the best part about it is that guests will always ask where did you buy the art.

Instead of framing it, hang fabric directly on the wall
@decoratedlife
That’s great if you don’t want to spend time on framing the fabric.
Just use command strips instead of nails while hanging the fabric. It’ll save your paint and wall.
