Ideas to decor your home with fabric

 

Hang a shabby chic closet curtain door room divider

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.

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.

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.
