10 Ways To Incorporate Textile Art In Your Home

Textile art uses a variety of materials with the intention of creating artistic items. It can be styled in your home in many different forms. The most common way to incorporate textile art in any given space is by hanging it up as wall art, according to Ellecor Design. It can be hung right on the wall or framed first depending on how you want to preserve it. If you aren't looking to preserve the textile in its original form, you can transform it into something new. Your textile can become pillows, a floor pouf, or curtains.

Another easy way to incorporate textile art into a space is by styling it as a blanket. It can be draped across a bed or a couch, or even hung on the side of a basket or on a popular blanket ladder. Depending on the type of textile you have, it could even be used as a rug. The possibilities are up to you and your decor style.
