You believe that wardrobe is the best place for your voguish fashion finds? Not necessarily, as beautiful apparel on display will be a wonderful way to add some chic and style to the space. Showing off your wears will immediately create a very relaxing and bohemian look. You just need to learn how to arrange it attractively without it looking as if you are doing a deep cleaning of the closet or have a big laundry day.

Learn these 9 easy tips on how to use clothes as part of home decor:

1) Hang them on a clothing rack: perhaps, some people will think that this is the easiest way, although it is actually the most tricky as instead of stylish display you are very likely to get a “laundry room look”. Several things to consider: you need to make revision of your wardrobe and select pieces which coordinate with each other by style, and more importantly by colour (not only between themselves, but also with the colour scheme of the room). Have a look at this wonderful bedroom – toile wallpaper and toile bed spread create a very feminine and gentle look. To compliment it only clothes in subtle, pastel tones was selected for display. You will not find here dresses in flashy neon or dark and deep tones:

6) Place an elegant rail for hangers on the wall – it is very practical and stylish solution:

7) Go ethnic. Bought a kimono from your trip to Japan and now don’t know what to do with it – organising a themed tea party or bequeath to grandchildren? Instead of this, use it as a wall decor to add an oriental twist to your room. Not only it looks very exotic, but ethnic dress usually has very bright and vivid pattern and colours, which make it perfect as wall art:

8) Compliment ethnic dress with another exotic accessories such as ceramics, cushions, rugs, figurines… Thus, the look will be more complete:
