Frugal Décor: Fabric Wall Panels

Tuesday, 1 March 2016

We interrupt this regularly scheduled food blog to bring you a frugal art project. (It will be my first and last. I promise.)

When HOTUS and I moved back in December, we were confronted with a perplexing decorative dilemma: an imposingly bare 12-foot wall in our main room. The Beige Monster dwarfed our posters and photos, and buying a gigantic mirror/painting/whatever was prohibitively expensive. To make matters worse, we weren't allowed to paint the wall, or hang anything from it that would require an anchor or excessive reinforcement, making sconces and funky sculptural stuff out of the question. (Yep, #whitegirlproblems. Perhaps the #whitestgirlproblems.)

So, I started Googling solutions, and in short order, came upon this post at Bella Dia. Cute, inexpensive, and infinitely customizable, fabric wall panels seemed like a most excellent solution to our problem. Best of all, they could be completed in 90 minutes, and didn't seem to pose an enormous problem for someone who thinks "damask" is a country in Eastern Europe. (Meaning: me.)
