by | Nov 8, 2019 | Junk Removal Services

You don’t always have to turn your back on some old furniture that you feel are no longer serving you. You can sell your old furniture online or at a yard sale. Or, you can repurpose them to give them a new meaning and purpose to your home. Repurposing old furniture can also be a form of art. 

If you search the net for repurposing ideas, you will surely find a lot. Coming up with a new item will, of course, depend on the kind of furniture you have on hand. Here are some concepts that you can draw inspiration from. 

  1. Headboard from an old door  

This will depend on the width of the door. Wide doors can be used as headboards for beds. They will make for a strong and durable headboard. They definitely look unique too. 

  1. Message board from a mattress spring 

Mattress springs can be great or hanging items like messages, boards, bills, or even scarves, shoes and umbrellas if you fully equip them. Clean the mattress spring before painting it with a new color, or clear varnish to keep the vintage look. 

  1. Drinks bar from an old bookcase  

Bookcases are usually bulky and have large spaces to accommodate big books. If you feel like you no longer need the books but not sure what to do with the bookcase, then you can give it a new purpose of being a bar. Wines and different liquor bottles will fit in the shelves. Not to mention, you can also display your wide array of drinking glasses and other glassware. 

  1.  Shelf from a step ladder 

Step ladders can be repurposed as shelves. Smalls ones can be hung on the wall, unopened of course, and bigger ones can be put on the living room. Not only will they be functional but they will give you a unique look to any room. You can leave the finish as is, or you can have them painted for a new look. 

  1. Hanging rack from an old headboard 

Reuse an old headboard into a hanging rack simply by attaching it with a rack with hooks. You can hang different everyday items on your new hanging rack. Paint the headboard first before you attach the rack and not the other way around. 

  1. Kitchen island from a chest or dresser 

A chest or dresser can make for an amazing kitchen island. The compartments from the chest or dresser will give you a lot more room for kitchen tools and accessories. All you have to add is marble to the top of the chest. If your dresser has wheels, then it will make for a mobile kitchen island which is helpful when you clean around the kitchen. Just make sure you can lock it in place. You don’t want it moving while chopping. 

 The truth is, you can repurpose old items into new ones. But if your furniture has irreparable damages, or if you feel like you don’t need it anymore and don’t have the time to resell it, then you can go for junk removal Centennial if you want to dispose of them completely.
