This handful of easy crochet patterns are made with simple, straight rows and create a home decor that’s pretty and useful around the house
While there are unlimited options of projects to crochet for the home and give it a beautiful interior design, sometimes it can feel intimidating.

Many times making a home decor project or even something practical to use around the house means that your work will potentially be on display, and naturally, you want it to look pretty.
Here, I’ve gathered 10 easy and useful crochet decor projects for the home that you can use to get comfortable with this area of crocheting.
Plus, they work wonderfully as starting points for your own creativity!
The following projects are arranged from quickest to longest, based on my own experience. Below each project idea, there is a link to the post for that pattern where you can get each pattern.
For those who still feel new to crocheting or just want something easy to work on, check them out as some examples of straight-edged crochet patterns for the home.

1. Contrast Coasters

First off in our list of home projects are these very modern looking coasters. My examples are done in stark black and white and I do think strong contrast go well with this design. However, any combination of two or even more colors would be worth a try for this project.
Done in the griddle stitch, these coasters have a somewhat raised texture and the stitches create a slight zigzag stitch when the colors change.
2. Straight forward Soap Sack

The straight forward soap sack is meant to be a very beginner-level pattern that is done in a single piece. With just one stitch, it is extremely quick even with weaving in a cord for closing and hanging it.
It fits most standard soap bars that are sold in stores.
3. Crochet shower/dish washer scrubbie

Next on this list is the shower/dish washer scrubbie that you can crochet in 30 minutes!
You can make multiple of these scrubbies and are extremely useful to have around the house!
4. Trevi Towel

Made in a very similar way as the Trevi Washcloth, the Trevi Towel is also made with a solid construction and easy lace accents.
Other than just being larger, the main difference is just that the eyelet lace in the Trevi Towel is done in rows rather than added later. This is my own go-to pattern for a simple and durable kitchen or bath towel.
5. Crochet Chair Socks

This scratch-free chair sock pattern is a very quick project that you can make with very little yarn!
6. Puffy Start Trivet

This adorable potholder or trivet only uses a few rounds of the jasmine stitch and makes the final product look beautiful!
7. Corduroy Napkin Rings

This crochet corduroy napkin ring is a classy addition to your dining table decor. This is a perfect project to pick up with your stash of yarn that’s lying around!
8. Bobbled Stool Crochet Cover

This quick crochet stool project uses bulk yarn and a few rounds of simple stitches that makes it easy and fun to make!
9. Colorful Envelope Pillow Cover

The second to last project in this round up is the Envelope Pillow. As a technique, the envelope pillow can be made for pretty much any size of pillow form. It’s a great way to make your own pillow covers because the design doesn’t require any zippers, buttons, or other closures.
The pillow picture you see here is available as a pattern in my Crochet Maker’s Vault, but if you go to the post on envelope pillows you can learn more about the steps needed to make this kind of pillow cover, no matter what size you want to create.
10. Potted Blooms Wall Hanging Pattern

And finally, the last project is this crochet c2c wall hanging decor which is the perfect edition to your home (especially in during spring!)
The floral touch to it really gives color and elegancy to any room you hang it in.
