I love all kinds of art — from paintings to photographs to art prints — and hope to have an entire house full of art hanging on my walls one day. It’s such a great way to personalize and bring color into your space.

You can frame fabric in inexpensive Ikea frames, in vintage wood frames, or even stretch it out over canvas. Interesting patterns like suzani, ikat, or otomi always look great, but the options are really limitless!

14) Frame scrapbook paper

15) Hang empty vintage frames from thrift stores and flea markets
