Using Textiles as Decor in Your STR
Using textiles, such as large pieces of fabric or vintage tea towels, can be an easy way to make your short-term rental unique and stand out over other. Plus, using textiles as art and decor in your property can be a relatively inexpensive way to add a lot of WOW to your vacation rental home. Here are some of my favorite ways to display textiles in your STR:
On a leaning ladder. Using a wooden blanket ladder is a great way to display several textiles at once while adding interest to a corner or entryway in your home. Plus, blanket ladders provide additional storage for small spaces while also being super stylish.
Draped over a chair or sofa. Adding a textile to the back of a chair or sofa is a very easy way to display a large piece of fabric or blanket; however, if your fabric is delicate, such as silk, this probably isn’t the best place for it.
Framed. This sounds more complicated than it needs to be. Simply find a frame that is a little larger than your textile, secure the fabric with double-sided tape to a piece of cardboard or mat board, and pop it in the frame. If your textile or fabric is thick, use an acrylic shadow box frame to display it.
As a throw pillow. Vintage pillowcases for beds or linen sacks that once held seed or pantry items can make unique throw pillows for your living room or decorative pillows for your bed. Stuff the pillowcase or feed sack with fiberfill and stitch the opening closed.
