How to use crochet in decoration
Colors
The older and more traditional crochet models tend to be more colorful and show strong contrasts. However, in recent times the use of crochet pieces following the Scandinavian style has also become common. That is, they usually bring light, neutral colors and lack details and prints.
Regardless of the crochet style, you intend to use in the decoration, it is important to pay attention to the harmony of the colors present in the pieces and the rest of the environment. A colorful crochet quilt with flower details, for example, looks great in a room with white walls and floor, so that the quilt becomes the protagonist of the environment.
If the intention is to create a more clean and modern aesthetic, prefer crochet pieces with just one color and smooth texture. You can even explore the use of crochet in decoration by creating points of light and contrast. Imagine, for example, an all-blue sofa decorated with yellow crochet pillows?
Shape and size of pieces
This tip is especially true for crochet rugs. When using some in the decoration, try to balance the size of the piece with the dimensions of the environment.

Also, it is worth mentioning that the crochet pieces value decorations in boho and Scandinavian styles. If that is your intention, then you can play without fear.
Crochet in the room
In the bedroom, the main place to crochet is above the bed. The crochet quilts are still very coveted and, no wonder. The super value is the decoration of the room.
