Jeans are so in vogue right now it’s fashionable to try and incorporate as much denim as possible in stylish apartment furnishings. Interior designers worldwide have their flappy lapels and floppy hair on permanent readiness, often finding new and remarkable uses for this trendy fabric. Inspiration for homeowners across the country habitually comes from makeover programs and a well-thumbed copy of ‘Interior Design Magazine’.

Denim Doggie Bed
Covering all the bases in your house is good but it’s easy to forget the faithful pooch. If he or she is keen to relax on your lap but you are less keen when wearing your designer Diesel Jeans then this is a cool alternative. It’s hard to tell but I think the dog below is happy (or perhaps a bit perplexed).
Denim Cycling Stool
Denim off-cuts from factories end up in countries like Indonesia. Furniture company, d-bodhi, capitalises on this by producing off-beat seats and bar stools. Their cycling stool is one of the most popular creations and is found in fashionable bars where the punters can pedal while waiting for their drinks.
Antique Denim Chairs
LegendBlues design some fabulous items in their ‘Nostalgia’ furniture line. Liz Richardson uses vintage jeans to reupholster great antique chairs and other items of well-loved furniture.
Beanbag chairs
Comfy, easy seating is a must in the modern house. Papillon Design specialise in comfortable places to rest the weary body. Using authentic denim taken from 1960s’ and 1970s’ pairs of jeans, their beanbag chairs, seats and sofas receive the benefits from bespoke, hand-stitched attention to give them a unique and prestigious desirability.

Handy Storage
‘Decluttering’ has become a byword for a successful ambience in the trendy property. That’s all well and good but it’s not very practical. Incorporating some bits and pieces of tasteful denim storage can help keep things to hand in a tidy and stylish way.
The Walls
Denim print wallpaper and sheets of denim fabric to fix as wallpaper are available which is great for a feature wall but what about the simpler walls? Apart from denim framed photos of friends, family and scenic views, the humble world map is all too-often neglected. Vlad Studio has produced this great world map with a number of political boundaries stitched in. Perhaps when your Joe Brown Jeans have finally worn in those awkward places they could get a new lease of life as a cool wall hanging.
Floor Coverings
Avoiding the overkill of wall-to-wall effect of a denim carpet, interior designers favour the allergy suppressing and attractive look of the wooden floor. So, integrating a touch of denim here can be achieved through the use of a woven rug like this one made by Terry Dewal from recycled jeans. Harking back to the 80s he used some Clorox to give the rug a stonewashed appearance.
Rustic Class
Proud to continue their support for the cowboy culture of gen-yoo-wine jeans, ‘Some Days are Diamonds’ specialise in all manner of denim-upholstered homewares that interior designers would drool over. Lamps are part of that occasional furniture that benefit from a bit of time when considering the overall feel of a room. It’s the little things that complete the atmosphere.
Ornaments?
Finishing touches to your living area can make a sterile, over-styled room, a cosy and welcoming place to be. Consider tactile ornaments over the do-not-touch-unless-to-polish varieties. Who couldn’t fail to love this denim dog?

For a mere £450 this exclusive denim print large chest, courtesy of Hunter Interiors of Sussex could be yours. It all depends on whether you could live with print rather than real denim.
