You Shall Now Be A Rug – Interior design on a budget

Ever looked around your house, felt completely uninspired but moving out is not an option? Do you rent a tiny apartment, wish for a bit of style, but have no budget to do so? Or maybe you feel a bit restless, have a pile of fabrics you never use and to create some space? Or maybe you are bored and need something brain-numbingly simple to read? You have come to the right place.

How about that beautiful scarf somebody gave you, but that you never seem so style with anything you wear? I transformed this gorgeous piece from Monsoon into a table runner. A gift by one of my aunts, day after day I found myself unable to pair it with anything in my wardrobe. Now it has a new role in life. It’s exquisitely delicate, so if clumsy like myself, take extra care so as not to spill anything on it.

Silk scarf: Monsoon

Candle holders: Ikea

How about that shrug you love to wear, but because of it’s design it keeps getting caught on everything, becoming more of a fashion safety hazard? Place it over your favourite armchair, et voilà, a cute place to seat. Ensure the dye in the shrug is not going to rub off on your clothes by giving it a good rinse before using it on furniture.

Shawl: Men at Work

Last but not least, what to do with that pretty necklace that keeps falling into pieces every time you wear it? Hang it by the window and spend endless hours staring at the cute light effects… because … you really don’t have anything more important to do 😉

Necklaces: Stradivarius, Six

Necklace: H&M

A bit of a random post, I know, but there you have it, that’s how to style your home one a budget by moi. Is it just me who does things like these?
