Living in a rental space often means not being able to make holes in the walls, which to some people means they can’t decorate at all. But it doesn’t have to. There are lots of ways to decorate without making holes in the wall. One of those ways is to decorate with textiles.
Here are 8 ways you can decorate with textiles.
1. Billowy blankets, piles of pillows, and layered rugs give this tiny apartment texture, depth, and warmth even though the colors are super neutral.

2. Baskets of blankets scattered around your apartment give you a convenient spot to store extra blankets, pillows, and other things you don’t want to have lying around the apartment.
