10 Flawless Ways to Decorate with Mud Cloth

• Mud Cloth Coasters; $22

Available on Etsy from My Mercantile Shop, this set of six coasters will add a unique element to your bar cart. Beautifully designed and available in an assortment of colors, each 4x4 coaster is handmade and backed with cream-colored fabric.

• African White & Black Zig Zag Mud Cloth Throw; $150

While mud cloth tends to be on the stiffer end of textiles, with some wear it becomes softer and more comfortable to the touch. Because of that, it’s never a bad idea to look for secondhand mud cloth, which comes already aged. Bigger pieces of mud cloth, such as this one available on Chairish, work nicely as a bedspread or throw.

• Vintage African Mud Cloth; $44.55

Wondering what to do with that narrow wall space between two windows in your home? Hang a mud cloth! It’s more chic than a tapestry and easily dresses up an otherwise barren space.

• Mud Cloth Sienna Wall Art; $218

Designed by artist Ruti Shaashua and inspired by vivid Indian fabrics, this piece of art speaks to the repetition, geometry, and simplicity of a traditional mud cloth. For a fun DIY project, swaths of mud cloth can be framed to create your own inspired gallery wall.

• Mud Cloth Table Runner; $129

Dress up your table with this beautiful runner. Artisans use dye made of leaves to tint the cotton, which is then sun-dried and hand-painted using fermented river mud. The fibers are then hand-loomed to form the runner. Because of this intricate process, you can guarantee that no two are alike.

• Hot Pink & Gray Mud Cloth Pillows; $299

A twist on the traditional mud cloth, these fun pillows are a great way to liven up your living spaces. Available in a pair, these pillows are stuffed with goose-feather inserts and backed with a bone-colored velvet. Who can resist?

If you have any upholstered pieces that are looking a bit tired, consider reupholstering them in high-quality mud cloth. The result is a high-impact look that will breathe new life into your furniture, from benches to sofas.
