Textile ideas to create beauty at home

The IKEA SAMMANHANG We Love Home book is full of inspiration for transforming your home into a beautiful space. Textiles are an easy – and often sustainable – way to create change. From refreshing your bedroom with soft bedlinen to fabric DIYs, make time for textiles!

Knit a textile backdrop

This looks more complicated than it is. Take textiles by the metre and do some gigantic knitting. Knit one, purl one. It’s a fun and fairly easy way to create a unique room divider that also absorbs sound well.

Create an extra room

Divide one big room into two, or screen off part of a room for added privacy by hanging some fabric. You can even turn your bed into a room within a room by screening it off with lightweight fabric tacked to the ceiling.

Make your own sofa

In a window niche, why not create a sofa with a view? A foam mattress covered in fabric and a few cushions is all it takes.

Create a curtain from an upcycled bed sheet

Curtains can be super simple. For a sustainable DIY idea, take an old bed sheet, fold it over and attach to a rail with clamps. The fold-over creates a built-in pelmet.

Let a rug take centre stage

Why not design your room with the rug as the star? In this bedroom, the rug helps to frame the room like a textured tray for the bed.

Hang a soft door

You don’t always want or have room for ordinary doors. And that isn’t a problem, as you can use fabric instead. Textiles work in all rooms, they’re easy to change and vary, and easy to wash. For this wardrobe idea, they simply hang on a rod, creating a lovely wrinkled linen look to match the shirts.
