Have Fun Decorating With Repurposed Home Decor

By Sandra Wright


You don't need to spend a lot of cash redesigning your house's interior. You simply need to figure out what to look for, and how to envision things that are already in the house in a different way. Many individuals utilize repurposed home decor things all through their house and yard and so can you. Things can be found in various rooms of your home, at garage sales, and even in the rubbish. Repurposing something means that you utilizing it a way that's different than you normally would, and it's an extraordinary way to decorate without breaking the budget, and as an added bonus you'll also help the planet. This happens when you give something a new life, you're keeping it from the landfill, which is a caring and extraordinary thing to do.

Take a look around your home first. Try to envision moving items from one room to another to change the look of both rooms. If you have a teapot that you love, but you don't make tea, turn it into a flowerpot, or use it to hold pens and pencils on your desk. You're also able to do the same with cups and glasses.

Take an old lamp from the storm cellar or storage room, change the shade and put it on a side table beside your bed. It will look pretty and be useful at the same time. If you don't have any old lamps, check out area yard sales. They may start out looking monstrous until you use your eye for design to effectively change their look. Or, on the other hand consider making your own particular from items such as, books, blocks, or old toys, that you find at yard deals. Get the light parts, stick the books, blocks, or toys together and make your own one of a kind table light.

If you're driving around on trash night and see old pallets, don't pass them by. You can make so many things out of pallets. Make a spice rack for your kitchen, a planter for the backyard, or an island for your kitchen. These pallets are perfect for those who enjoy rustic decor.

Even an old bistro table top can be transformed into a fun seated for a tree swing. Just toss the legs or use them for something else and get ropes to hang it from.

These bistro tables are also nice artwork for the wall. Hang them anywhere that you want a stunning focal point. These tabletops are often so pretty and ornate that the eye is automatically drawn to them.

Even something as seemingly trashworthy as old rubber boots with one boot missing can be turned into something great. They can go from trash to a cute planter in a matter of minutes. All they need are some dirt, drainage holes, and a pretty plant. It doesn't get much easier than this, kids can even help and would love seeing their own plant growing in a pair of their old boots.

As you can see, all that you have to do is look at everyday items with a new eye. Once you beginning repurposing you'll be hooked. It's fun and a great way to let your creativity loose. Don't be afraid to try, jump right in, you can't mess up. See what amazing things you can create from unused, and unloved items that are sitting around the house, or tossed out in the trash.
