Classical Symmetry Prints by Crate&Barrel

I remember sifting through a Crate & Barrel catalogue and stopped on this stunning photo. I loved the symmetry, the geometric patterns. It was bright and colorful and definitely unique. The only downside is if you don't have $369 lying around, this photo will remain perfect inside the catalogue instead of adorning your walls. So with a little time and a little money, you can create this look in your home while saving a couple hundred dollars.

I like the idea of using actual fabric to create a little more texture to the walls, with that said here's what you'll need to create this look:

1. Frames -- I recommend ikea's Tyglosa frames.
2. Fabric -- to keep the same theme, you'll need to find geometric prints at a local fabric store or online. I recommend starting your search at Joann's.
3. Supplies -- Scissors (to cut fabric), Glue or staple gun (to adhere fabric to frame), nails (to hang the frames).

Note: Before you start your fabric search note the width and length of your frame.Your fabric pieces should be at least one inch bigger than the frame so that it wraps fully around the frame. If you choose to use glue, be sure to get one that will adhere to fabric, I recommend Sobo.
