If you have a Pinterest account, you have probably seen a lot of crafts that allow you to repurpose old objects to create something new and beautiful.
It’s a great way to recycle and even hold on to something that has sentimental value but is no longer functional.
Using old items you already have to create home décor is a great way to save money or decorate your home on a budget. One woman took an older wooden ladder that she found at a garage sale for $10 and turned it into an amazing piece of décor. You can do the same. Here are a few ideas.
Bed Canopy
You can use a ladder to create a rustic and charming canopy for your bed. Simply attach the ladder to the wall and use it to hold curtains, fabric, blankets, or any other type of fabric that you have to frame the head of the bed and create a little bit of privacy and charm. You can also paint or stain the ladder before you install it to help it match your décor a little better.
Towel Rack
A ladder looks an awful lot like a towel rack, so why not use it as one? Simply prop your ladder up against the wall and hang your towels over the rungs. You can also attach baskets and containers to the ladder that can be used to hold soap, washcloths, toilet paper, or anything else. It’s cheap and easy.
Chandelier
You probably wouldn’t think of hanging a ladder from your ceiling, but it can actually make a great chandelier. Simply attach it to the ceiling securely and then wrap string lights around it. You can also install track lights on the ladder to create a different look.
Clothing Rack
You can hang a ladder in your closet or even in your bedroom and then use it to hang your clothing. The hangers fit well on the rungs, and the different sections make it easy to sort clothing by style or color. It’s also a cheap way to organize your closet.
Photo Frame
If you have photos you would like to display in your home, use a ladder as a frame. Lean it up against your wall and hang photo frames or even individual photos from each rung. You can also add other items to the ladder to help it match your décor.
Jewelry Organizer
You can hang necklaces, bracelets, and more from the rungs of a ladder to make a great jewelry organizer. It’s big enough to hold all your jewelry but not too big to keep in your room. You can even install one on the back of a closet door to save even more space.
Bookcase
Add shelves or supports to the back of each ladder rung and lean it against the wall to make a stylish and rustic bookcase. You can also use it to store other things, such as office supplies, board games, photo frames, and even towels and rags.
There are plenty of ways you can use a ladder to decorate your home and make it look nice.
There are also many other objects that can be repurposed and used for home décor and organization around the house. Use your imagination and get creative. Before you throw something away, think about the many ways you could use it in your home. It’s nice to recycle and also save money at the same time.
