A survey design was employed in the study. Structured questionnaire was used to ascertain information from the respondents. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample 50 Home Science graduates for the study. Data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed with simple descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages. Findings show that the home scientists in Lafia metropolis are aware that income could be generated in 23 indoor/outdoor decoration entrepreneurial activities (FIODEA). The Home Scientist engaged only in eight of the indoor/outdoor decoration entrepreneurial activities. Twenty three principles guided the practice of fabric-based indoor/outdoor decoration entrepreneurial activities and seven problems were discovered to be militating against the successful practice of fabric-based indoor/outdoor decoration entrepreneurial activities as perceived by the home scientists. It was recommended that teaching of indoor/outdoor decorations; both theory and practical should be intensified in the universities and other tertiary institutions that offer Home Science.enArticle
