8 Ways to Dabble in Denim for Casual Chic Rooms
Like a comfortable pair of jeans, this youthful fabric slips easily into cool and casual interiors
In the fashion world denim is timeless, a classic wardrobe staple that adds a youthful edge to every outfit. But does it have the same cool factor when it comes to furnishings? Take a look at how these homes have used this iconic fabric, and decide for yourself. We think even the anti-denim brigade will be converted.
From cornflower blue on the walls to dark navy bedding, varying hues will help to break up an all-blue room. If you feel like you’ve overdosed on indigo, introduce touches of white, cream and black, sticking with a lighter hue on the walls to make the space feel larger.
Well grounded

Layered textures
Denim pairs well with other tactile, natural materials such as linen and wool, and a little can go a long way. Cushions are an easy and affordable way to dip into the trend and achieve a range of textures.

Tip: With a little creativity, you can always find a use for leftover fabric. Long, delicate cuttings can be transformed into contemporary curtains, while small swatches lend themselves to a unique piece of artwork.
Pattern play
A few accent pieces featuring vibrant prints can bring personality to a larger denim piece. Try patterns of different kinds on cushions, rugs or a lounge throw – the bolder the better.

Cool kids
Denim is a dream in children’s rooms. A great go-to for spaces that are prone to mess and spills, it makes a practical addition when used for blankets, throws or a floor rug. The hardwearing cotton twill is easy to clean and does a great job of disguising stains.

Tip: Some denim manufacturers have recycling initiatives that transform secondhand and unused products into home furnishings. If you can’t track down one of these eco-conscious buys, why not breathe new life into your old, unworn jeans with a weekend DIY project?
Casual corner
Hardwearing and versatile, denim is a great choice for furniture that sees a high volume of traffic such as sofas and armchairs. Like the perfect pair of jeans, a denim lounge is the ideal foundation for creating a personalised style.
