Using Scarves in Your Decor

Last year I fell in love with and bought several of the trendy blanket scarves that were out.  So this year when I was going through some things and came across them again I had a "duh moment".  Why not use these to decorate with. They're large, colorful, have lots of texture and give a feeling of coziness.  And so, I began to try them in different ways and this how I decided to use them in my fall decor.

           Using Scarves in Your Decor

The first one I did was a large black and white plaid scarf I thought would look great on our dining room table.  Perfect for a pretty fall tablecloth.  By placing it diagonally it gives it more interest and shows some of our pretty new table.  You may remember my spring/summer table where I shared how to recycle an old market basket into a new "vintage" basket for a centerpiece.

To transition to fall I simply removed the white flowers from the arrangement and just added a few fall flowers and leaves.

This gives it that bit of fall touch to finish out a quick and easy transition in our dining room decor.

The next thing I tried with a scarf was to cover a pillow with one.  I actually just placed the pillow on the scarf diagonally and tied the corners in the back.  This is a quick, easy, no-sew fix for new pillows and adds so much texture to the area.

For the last way, I simply took one of the larger scarves and placed it on the sofa as a throw.  This one is so soft and warm.  It's definitely a great one to snuggle up in on a cool fall day.

Here's a look at our living room sofa with the scarves.  I love how they add texture, color and a sense of cozy warmth (even though it's still warm here it will be getting chilly soon). 

I love decorating our home with unexpected things and being able to use these items in new ways.  What do you think - maybe you have a couple of old (or new) scarves not being used that can make a big difference in your decor.  Love to hear from you so tell me about it in the comments below.

I will be joining in the parties listed on the Where I Party page.  Please try to visit these parties as I'm sure you will find some really great projects and inspiration you're sure to want to try.
