12 Ways to Upcycle Every Day Stuff into Amazing Storage Solutions
People buy furniture and other household items to fulfil a function. But what if we told you it is possible to convert those items into something else when their first life is over? And sometimes you can even create a solution with more than just one purpose. Here are 13 great examples.
1. Cable spool
It is really easy to turn and old cable spool into a coffee table and table rack.
2. Vintage suitcase
Your vintage suitcase can turn into an amazing decorative piece with a useful purpose: shielding your bottles after becoming a stylish liquor cabinet.
3. Vintage door
It is possible to integrate a vintage door into a cabinet and create a closed storage solution for fragile items.
4. Folding chairs
Use a couple of folding chairs to create an amazing closet in a heartbeat. All you need to do is hang them on the wall.
5. Washing machine washtub
Use an old part of your washing machine as a storage solution for your garden hose.
6. Old ladder
Anyone can convert an old ladder into a vintage towel shelf for the bathroom.
7. Old rake
If your wine glasses keep breaking because you don’t have a safe place to store them, how about using an old rake?
8. Old farm gate
An old farm gate can be the exact piece you are looking for to create a new coat hanger for your hall.
9. Rusty ladder
Who would imagine that an old rusty ladder could be such a stylish and modern-looking book shelf?
10. Old piano
Mix your two favourite forms of art with this bookshelf made from a piano.
11. Old TV
Create a sleek retro liquor cabinet from an old television. It will look amazing!
12. Soda crates
Old soda crates can be so stylish with their old school logos and colors. Take the inspiration and transform some crate into toy storage solutions for the children’s bedroom.
Oh thank you apartment geeks!
I have been looking for ideas for my old grand piano that was just laying around taking up space. I sure am glad it made on the “every day stuff” list!!
These are some of the more unique and attractive ideas that I have seen for upcycling. I do have a correction: #9’s description tells of a rusty ladder but you have a wooden one in the photo. The wood sure looks better and more charming than a flaky, rusted, tetanus-breeding variety!
