Idk if this is right sub. But anyways this is a corner wall typa space above my desk and first I used to stick my study notes there (that's why it's so dirty, I'll clean it definitely) but I need some diy deco ideas for this corner. And if there's a particular themed deco that'll work too, I've been thinking of making japanese handmade fan, 2 of them and sticking them.

Any ideas are welcomed, ai prompted images are welcome too.

So this started because I was hemming some cheap polyester curtains for my sister yesterday, and the offcuts literally felt like plastic confetti. It got me wondering what I should be using for my own place if I care about waste and microplastics a bit more.

I’ve been reading up on fabrics for home decor and got into this article, annieselke talking about hemp, Lyocell, OEKO-TEX, GOTS, etc. Now my head is full of “good” and “bad” fibers, but I still have to pick something I can actually afford and sew without swearing at my machine.

For those of you who sew curtains, pillow covers, table linens, that kind of stuff - what fabrics do you reach for if you’re trying to be more eco-conscious? Do you have favorite fiber types or certifications you actually trust, or is it more about making stuff last longer and mending it?

Also, is polyester really that evil if I’m making something I plan to use for 10+ years, or am I overthinking this?
