10 Ways To Decorate With These Globally-Inspired Textiles

We typically return from our travels with small knickknacks and various forms of memorabilia, which more often than not, end up in storage.

Here’s how to decorate with the globally-inspired pieces we’re loving right now.

Serapes are notorious for their vibrant color schemes and we can’t think of a better way to display them than within a whitewashed setting.

Browse the local market on your next beach vacation for playfully patterned towels you can bring home. We love the idea of displaying the curated pieces on a chic ladder in the bathroom. Now that’s what we call functional decor.

Pick up a pair of throw pillows in a vibrant scheme and utilize them to bring in a pop of color to the entry or living room.

Textiles can definitely double as art! Frame a patterned piece of fabric that caught your eye, for an exotic detail that’s sure to wow.

Hang a patterned blanket or towel within a monochromatic nook to impart the space with a temporary pop of color.

A patterned throw gets a new lease on life as a repurposed cushion, which brings an added touch of warmth to this rustic dining room.

Convert tea towels or various textiles into chic throw pillow covers, and style them within a cozy nook for a dynamically colorful finish.
