Looking for creative ideas for storing small items? We bring to your attention 17 ideas that you can implement from improvised means on your own.
Coffee table
There are magazines and books in every home, but keeping them can become a big problem over time. A great solution would be to fold them and use them as a table. Take a wide, sturdy leather belt with a secure buckle, fold several stacks of books to form a rectangle. Calculate its height in advance based on the length of the strap. And then everything is simple - drag the structure with a belt so that books and magazines do not disperse.
A trifle, but nice
If you have spare ice cube trays or small cupcake tins that will never be used as intended, don't throw them away! Instead, we suggest using them to unload the contents of a desk or toolbox or workbench in a workshop. These forms are great for storing paper clips, erasers, staples, buttons, nails and screws.
Do not sleep
The transformation of a long-obsolete but still sturdy spring mattress into a stylish idea board is an original way to give it a new life. The unusual graphic design of the design and the abundance of wire straps make it ideal for placing note cards, hangers, photographs, memorabilia, and even tools. Just place it on the smaller side, lean it against the wall and attach it for stability.
Jewelry holder
The old rake takes on a new lease of life as a fancy jewelry or bijouterie organizer - with room for all your necklaces, bracelets, scarves and belts if you like. Wash and clean the rake before using it and paint it in the desired color. and then just hang on the nail on the wall. All your accessories are now neatly hung and easily accessible.
Large boxes
Wooden boxes are very common on the farm of gardeners. If you put them on top of each other or place them side by side, fasten them with self-tapping screws to paint, then they will turn out to be an interesting shelf for storing books or other trifles. Add wheels at the bottom and they become your own mobile storage.
Luggage compartment
An old suitcase takes up a lot of space, gets tangled underfoot in the garage, but continues to be stored carefully? We suggest using it in the interior. If you attach four legs and a frame to a suitcase, then a stylish coffee table will turn out from it, which will only need to be painted or artificially aged. And from the suitcases stacked on top of each other you will get an original chest of drawers where you can put rarely used things.
Order under the sink
A simple railing for 100 rubles can do an excellent job of placing and storing various items. Use the brackets to place it under the sink parallel to the door as a hanging rod for spray bottles, making room in the cabinet for other items. Be sure to use a heavy-duty rod and attach it securely. For the holder, it is not necessary to purchase a railing, you can take a wooden crossbar.
Three floors of benches
One bench is for sitting, resting, placing for putting on shoes. And at once three benches, put on top of each other, become a completely different piece of furniture. Paint the benches one color and attach them to each other with the appropriate hardware for an original roomy wardrobe.
Wine library
Old filing cabinets found in libraries will gladly accommodate items other than reader forms. For example, we suggest repurposing such a cabinet for storing wine, champagne and liquor. Place stickers on the outside describing what is inside.And when it's time to host, use the retractable surface originally designed for books as a temporary serving bar.
Originally from childhood
Children grow up, and their beds are idle gathering dust in the garage or in the attic. We offer to give them a chance for a second life, but not for their intended purpose and, however, only the side walls. They can be placed in the living room and used as a device for storing magazines - they are simply hung on the crossbars, and not lying around anywhere in the house.
Upstairs
Old wooden stairs can become an integral part of your interior. They are great for placing blankets, bed linen, towels on their steps. Such a structure will look great in a gazebo or a guest room.
Doll kingdom
The dollhouse, left over from long-grown children, will perfectly fit into the interior of the bathroom as a holder for various accessories. His rooms are perfect for accommodating everything from towels to toilet paper. Use anchor bolts, brackets, and other fixtures to securely anchor your home to the wall.
Garden pots
Children's rooms are always filled with constructor sets, soft toys, dolls, cars and a bunch of other little things. Unnecessary wall-mounted garden pots can store toys and save space. These garden baskets can be wall mounted within reach of small children so they can clean up after themselves.
Corner shelf out of the door
Instead of throwing out your old door after a recent renovation, cut out an unusual corner shelf out of it. To do this, cut the door in half in height and attach it to the adjacent walls. Next, attach a few simple round shelves with brackets to the structure and spray paint in a bright color. Screw in the doorknob to match your decor.
Cake maker
The convenient three or two-tiered cake and pastry tray can easily accommodate anything from art to kitchen utensils, and thanks to its compact size, it can be found in almost any room.
Secret box
A simple box turns into a secret storage device for valuable items. It will easily become part of your bookshelf. Gather old and unnecessary textbooks and novels, remove the sheets, cut to size, leaving only the spine, and then hot glue them to one side of the box. You get a box disguised as books. You just have to lose it among other books on the shelf.
Skirting board
A voluminous solid wood skirting board will be an excellent helper for modern women of fashion. Having nailed it to the wall, you can use it to place all your shoes and stiletto sandals without taking up much space - just hook the nailed plinth with a heel and hang them down with your noses.
