I want to share some easy ways to style tassels in your home. Tassels are those cute little decorations that can add a touch of charm to just about anything, and I'm excited to show you how to incorporate them into your space.

Decorative tassels

Some people believe that hanging a tassel on a doorknob can bring protection and good fortune – how cool is that?


You can easily find decorative tassels at thrift stores or online, and they're super easy to attach to your curtains. Just tie them back, and you're good to go!

Another fun way to use tassels is to add them to your lamps. I love mixing different decor styles in my home, and adding tassels to a lamp is a fun way to add a boho twist to your space.


You can find tassels in all sorts of colors and styles, so you can easily find ones that match your decor. Attach them to the lampshade or base using hot glue, and you've got a unique and stylish lamp!

Have an old, broken basket lying around? Don't toss it – give it a makeover with some tassels! Start by removing any hardware and lightly sanding the basket.

Painting the basket

Then, give it a coat of paint in your favorite color.

Once the paint is dry, use a hot glue gun to attach thrifted tassel trim around the top edge of the basket.
