An Easy, Inexpensive Way to Bring Color & Pattern Into Your Space!

It may not be ideal, but sometimes the best furniture arrangement for a room is one where the back of a chair or sofa is facing you as you walk into the room. That's exactly what I've got going on in my living room and I wanted to do something with the blocky, boring chair back that's the first thing everyone sees. I had the idea of adding some pattern and color with a fun throw but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I ended up doing a little DIY - with one yard of fabric and some DIY knotted fringe, the backs of both of my swivel chairs are now sporting a new look!
It was simple to do (no machine sewing needed) and would be a great use for a fabric remnant since not much yardage is needed. For my two chairs, I used a total of one yard of fabric, four balls of this pearl cotton thread in white (you could also use embroidery floss), a needle with a large enough eye for your thread/floss (having a needle threader helps too), and scissors.
You can find the step-by-step tutorial on how to add fringe to your fabric here: http://www.drivenbydecor.com/2014/09/adding-color-pattern-room-simple-diy.html
I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and the difference that it has made with how the room looks and feels as you walk into it!
