Using denim in your home décor can be a very inexpensive and fun way to make the inside of your home look nicer and more welcoming.
Make a rug!


A woven denim rug could be the perfect new addition to your home that you have been searching for. With a little bit of time and effort you can turn an old piece of denim clothing into a beautiful quaint little rug that you can put anywhere in your home. A simple rug can really complete a room that is lacking a bit in décor, so it’s important to keep that in mind.

Pillow cases


If you want to put some new cases on the pillows on your sofa or bed, you will definitely find that denim is a great material to use. By stitching together pieces of denim, you will be able to make some beautiful new pillowcases that your guests will be sure to comment on when they come over to visit.

Lamp Covers


Another great way to make the inside of your home more unique and aesthetically-pleasing is to cut out pieces of denim and wrap them around some of the smaller lamps in your home. You can punch holes in the denim so as to allow the light to shine through and create a great-looking fixture design in the process. It’s a cost effective way to light up the room.
