New Life for Old Furniture: 35 Ideas

Living Room with History

The possibilities for using old furniture in a living room are almost unlimited. Did you always dream of having a fireplace? Turn an unwanted dresser into a portal for electric or bio-models. An old door can be transformed into a table or elegant shelf, and boxes — paint them and create new wall compositions. Even a piano that hasn't been played in the last ten years can be useful, as long as you have imagination.

Cozy Bedroom

There are many ways to decorate a bed headboard, among which there are numerous expressive ideas that can be implemented by hand. What if you give up the standard factory headboard in favor of an old door or unfinished boxes? A bedside table can be made from a chair, and a dressing table — from a sewing machine stand.

Creative Office

An important part of any office is the writing desk. Why not make an original model from an old children's bed? Old stairs and boxes can be used for storing books and papers, decorated with any pattern of your choice.

Shabby-Chic Bathroom

If even an old bathtub can be turned into a living room sofa, then items from the living room should definitely be redesigned for use in the bathroom. Flipped chairs will become stylish towel hooks, and box lids and bottoms — storage zones.

Garden Paradise

Do you have too much old furniture? Take it to the countryside, but to avoid cluttering the rural interior, use ideas for transforming worn-out chairs and dressers into flower beds. Your creative ambitions go further? Then a flower bed can be created on an unwanted bed, and a small fountain made from a piano cabinet.

Pet Houses

Our four-legged friends don't care about brands — it doesn't matter to them what kind of house they live in, as long as it's comfortable. However, the owner and guests will appreciate creative sleeping places and feeders that once served as dressers, sideboards, and shelves.
