Sacking for decor: characteristics and photos of ideas

At first glance, burlap may not seem the most pleasant material for the interior - it is rough to the touch and is often associated with some village attribute, for example, a bag for potatoes. However, lovers of eco-decor have long known that natural fabrics can decorate any interior and help in creating truly original and stylish things for the home. What can be done from this natural material, and in what interior burlap for decor will look laconic and natural?

The advantages of burlap

Like any natural fabric (cotton, linen, etc.), burlap is an environmentally friendly material, so it can easily be used to make woven organizers, napkins and tablecloths, aprons and other things that interact with food.

It is hygroscopic, which speaks of its ability to "breathe", letting, without accumulating moisture, easily erase without shrinkage.

Due to its rigid, bast fiber structure and jute fibers in the composition, burlap is considered to be one of the most wear-resistant woven materials, therefore in any product of it will last a long time. Therefore, more recently in furniture stores, you can find an upholstery of sofas and decorative pillows made of this material.

The rigid structure gives one more advantage - from this fabric it is easy to cut and sew details of any shape (unlike silk, for example), and so there are a lot of ideas for creating interior gizmos. As well as color solutions, applications and prints, because it is easy to color, and at home. Not to mention how its natural color looks invoice and rich.

Sacking for decor is so practical and versatile that it is suitable for almost any type of interior, especially for the currently gaining popularity styles - eco-decor, chebbi shiku, rustic (rural style), Provence, and also rooms with natural wood trim.

Get the decor of sacking with your own hands will not be particularly difficult and will not require huge investment of funds. The main thing is to choose the right materials and define the design, examples of which will be given below.

How to choose sacking?

You probably noticed that the sacking may look different. It's all about her make-up. More light, light and thin is made of linen or cotton threads. It is pleasant to the touch and well suited for tablecloths, napkins, curtains, aprons. Its other form - jute burlap - darker and coarse - will perfectly fulfill the role of decorative decoration of flowerpots, pots, candlesticks, jars for loose products, baskets and other interior accessories.

Not only in appearance, but also according to the declared density, sacking for decor can be selected. You can buy different types of weaving in Moscow. For example, the volume of 207 g / m2 is quite free, so it will be used where its translucent air structure will suit, for example, for decorating a bottle or flowerpot. It looks beautiful if we use a small strip of burlap, often of a different contrasting color, serving as a finish for the main material.

The more dense indices of 267-285 g / m2 are characterized by good wear resistance, but with low rigidity, so they are optimally used for upholstering furniture, decorative cushions, bedspreads, curtains, furniture covers, etc.

A denser burlap with a value of more than 300 g / m2 will be harsh for the textile elements of the bedroom and living room, it is better to use it when creating decorative items that do not come into contact with the body or food products - vases, bottles, paintings, candles, etc.

Materials for finishing, or With what to combine sacking

Combining this material is not so difficult as it may seem at first glance, especially in its natural calm beige, light brown, golden or chocolate color scheme. The most popular option - the decor of sackcloth and lace of white or cream color.

Perfectly combined with this fabric are the same products made from natural ingredients - rope from hemp, cotton, jute and sisal ropes.

Another way of combining is sacking and natural fabrics (cotton, linen) with a print or a bright pattern. You can also use satin ribbons, bows, ruffles, braid for individual items.

For an emphasis on the calm colors of sacking, the following can be used:

• Bright small berries and flowers from polymer clay, plastic, felt or paper;
• Dried flowers;
• Wooden buttons;
• Multicolored pearl beads;
• Decorative beads made of natural stones.
