Do not rush to throw out your old suitcase, this seemingly useless thing, because by showing your imagination and using our recommendations, you can give it a new life.
Coffee table
A suitcase makes great tables - just attach the legs to them. They can be either iron or wooden - the choice is yours. You can buy them in any furniture department or turn them away from the old stool.
If the table is made of a soft suitcase, it is recommended to reinforce it from the inside with a sheet of thick plywood or a board so that the objects located on it do not fall inside.
A shabby suitcase can be renewed by painting with a special paint, or left as it is, giving the table a vintage look.
Nightstand
A suitcase, set on a frame or on legs, will be an excellent option for a bedside table or a side table. Several suitcases stacked on top of each other look especially impressive. Most likely, they will be able to perform only a purely decorative function, since it will be possible to store something only in the uppermost suitcase, but a lot will go there too.
Soft furniture
From an old suitcase, you can make an unusual small sofa or pouf that will decorate any interior. In order to sit on a suitcase without risking destroying the structure under its own weight, it is recommended to make a rigid frame that is inserted into the larger half of the suitcase and upholstered with fabric. The back is made from the smaller part, which can also be further strengthened. The resulting structure is placed on legs or a frame. The backrest is additionally fixed.
For poufs, you need only half a suitcase or one soft suitcase with an insides reinforced with a frame.
Bed for animals
Probably everyone noticed the special love of cats for suitcases. Pets can make a cozy soft bed from a half of a suitcase, which, thanks to the opportunity to choose the upholstery, will successfully fit into absolutely any interior.
Hanging cabinets
If you attach an old suitcase to the wall and make partitions in it, you get an original hanging cabinet in which you can store the necessary little things. And also, if you have a lot of old suitcases, you can make beautiful shelves out of their parts.
Carrying box for acoustics
Large speakers are generally awkward to carry and transport. An old bulky suitcase will solve this problem. Using a tool, you need to cut holes for speakers and cords, and then place a speaker of the appropriate size inside.
Picnic basket
If you sew Velcro holders to the inside of the suitcase and make additional pockets, you can get a convenient picnic basket, where all the items irreplaceable for hiking in nature will be removed.
