Examples of Obi uses for Interior Design.
Here are various example of uses for obi and obi textiles as interior design applications. The obi themselves make fabulous wall displays, Adult ones as long hangings and pre-tied ones, such as girls' obi or many pre-tied women's obi , mounted on simple boards.
They also make exquisite table runners and bed runners.
If not used as a hanging, the textiles can be used to make other items including gorgeous cushions. Obi are extremely long and provide a lot of fabric.
Note that maru and fukuru obi provide the most fabric for such uses, as thay are the wide and the same width from end to end, whereas nagoya obi have a long section of their length stitched in half, as the sash section, with a smaller section at full width for the rear knot section. Some fukuro obi have an unpatterned section, some are patterned along their entire length.
Hanhaba obi are narrower than Maru and fukuro obi.
There is a big selection of obi available in the Obi section of this website, in a big variety of patterns and colours. Now and then I add one or two more.
