Best Burlap Decor Ideas
Looking for the best burlap decor ideas? Don’t worry, we’ve got allll the information you need right here! Traditionally, burlap decor was thought of as complimentary strictly to the rustic farmhouse interior design style. However, burlap has totally made a comeback! Now, you’ll see tons of burlap in many different home decor styles. With that being said, read on for the best burlap decor ideas!
How do you decorate with burlap?
Calling all crafty people! Did you know burlap is actually a fabric? Therefore, you can use burlap to make a lot of different decor projects. Seriously, think burlap table runners, burlap wreaths, burlap curtains – you name it! I even know someone with a burlap Christmas tree and burlap pinecone ornaments. That’s just a little too much for me, but hey – whatever burlap projects keep you going, right!?
Fall is the perfect season to starting bringing out your burlap craft ideas. The fabric is great for Halloween and Thanksgiving/Christmas decorations alike. When I’m deciding if I want to decorate with burlap or not, I assess the room I’m decorating and see if I can envision burlap throughout the room. Ideally, I usually use burlap to add texture and that extra “wow” factor to a room.
Personally, I like to use burlap as an accent touch. In other words – in small doses! I’m not really one to go totally overboard with burlap because I feel like it looks best in accent pieces.
What can I make with burlap fabric?
Because burlap is so cheap, it is a great fabric for all your DIY crafts. And who doesn’t love craft projects?! So when I tell you you can make almost anything with burlap, I mean it.
Firstly, if you’re planning a rustic/shabby chic wedding – burlap could be your best friend. I’ve seen so many great ideas come out of burlap sacks. Seriously!! Imagine burlap sacks as wedding gift bags or as burlap flower pot wraps. So cute, right!?
Secondly, I really enjoy looking at burlap in fall decor. Burlap wreaths are a great DIY burlap idea. Or I love the idea of burlap as candle holders.
Thirdly, think about the interior design in your home! You’d be surprised at how many little accent ideas you can make out of burlap. Burlap pillows are always super cute in a more formal living room. Or literally any table decorations. I love burlap vases and burlap placemats on the dining room table…
What is a good place to buy burlap?
Good news for you is that you can buy burlap pretty much everywhere. I usually buy it online at either Home Depot or on Amazon if I’m doing DIY projects.
However, if you’re looking for burlap decor (like the ideas below!!), I usually buy products from Etsy or sometimes even Amazon. A quick Google search for burlap decor will usually give you some great ideas.
What is the best way to clean burlap?
Gentle washing is key, here. Therefore, I’d recommend that you do not put burlap through your washing machine. For one, it could damage the burlap. Secondly, the burlap could unravel and make a total mess in your washing machine. Not fun!
So, I recommend filling a large bucket with cold water. COLD WATER! Warm or hot water will cause the fabric to shrink and shrivel, or come apart all together. And we don’t want that! Secondly, put a small amount of laundry detergent into the bucket. Thirdly, place the burlap into the large bucket for no more than a few minutes. Lastly, take it out and leave it out to dry on a towel or two.
DO NOT WRING IT! Seriously, burlap is a lot more fragile than you would think. So, be careful.
