New things from the pantry: what to do for an apartment and a cottage from old suitcases with your own hands
Old suitcases made of quality material hardly spoil and can last for many years. Therefore, they get out of the pantries, removed from the mezzanine and think about how to use it further. The spaciousness and durability of the products make it possible to make functional devices and decorative elements for the interior of an apartment or a summer cottage out of them. The work does not require significant alterations of the design and makes it possible even for inexperienced craftsmen to make useful and beautiful household items with their own hands.
If you put the suitcase on its legs, you will get a comfortable coffee table or bedside table, inside which many necessary little things will fit: photographs, letters, personal diaries, glasses, modern gadgets.
The product will become more functional if it is equipped with wheels.
A simple but very practical option is a bedside table made of several identical-sized suitcases placed on top of each other. The manufacture of such a piece of furniture is within the power of any person, and the countertop from the mirror will add charm to the product.
It takes a little more imagination and time to turn a table into a real work of decorative art. Elegant decor should be in harmony with the chosen style of the entire interior.
If the legs are folding, then the table can only be installed if necessary.
A compact ladies table or workplace, made in the style of an old bureau, will allow rational use of the area of small-sized apartments.
A small modernization is needed so that the suitcase turns into a banquet or a neat sofa, inside which you can store, for example, seasonal shoes or old magazines.

Breakfast on an elegant tray will be a nice compliment for lovers to soak in bed.
A home needlewoman will not have to look for threads, scissors, hooks or buttons if they are fixed on the inner surface of the lid and laid out in baskets installed on the bottom of the suitcase.
