"Making a rental feel cozy is a unique challenge, especially because, as a renter, you're limited to what you can put on the walls. Tacked-up posters don't really scream "I'm an adult," and I'm at a point where I want my decor to look a little more elevated. I spend a lot of time in my home office, which was feeling particularly neglected while I focused on collecting thrifted decor for the shared spaces in my home, like the living room and dining area."
"To hang the blanket on my wall, I attached 12 pairs of 3M Command strips (the kind with velcro hooks) along the underside of the blanket, concentrating on the top and sides to help it hold. I placed a pair of Command strips in each of the throw's four corners, as well as four along the top of the blanket and two along each side."
"Styled on the wall like a tapestry, the throw adds visual interest and layered texture to balance out my decor, which keeps the space from looking too uniform and cold. The cozy, colorful knit instantly makes the area look warm and welcoming. I added a modern leather chair for comfort and varied texture, as well as a simple floor lamp and a wooden shelf."
A throw blanket can be repurposed as wall art by attaching Command velcro strips along its underside, focusing on the top, sides, and corners for support. Using 12 pairs of strips—a pair in each corner, four across the top, and two on each side—helps the textile hang flat and secure. The faux-tapestry approach adds layered texture and visual interest to a room, preventing a uniform or cold appearance. Complementary furnishings such as a modern leather chair, a simple floor lamp, and a wooden shelf help create a warm, welcoming cozy corner.
