Many of the most rare and lovely fabrics can be fairly costly, some as much as 25 to 50 dollars per yard, which makes it difficult to keep your costs low and still decorate with that fabric!

It is however possible to use the fabric that you’re in love with to decorate whether you use it wisely and use each scrap that you purchase to assemble something contrasting or small which will be a focal point in the room.

The fabric that you purchase is normally only enhanced by the mixture with another fabric, particularly one which not only has a different color, but plus a different texture, which gives visual and tactile interest to the piece you compose with them.
