6 interesting ideas on how to use an old suitcase in the interior
A suitcase that has been gathering dust on a grandmother's mezzanine for a long time is not old rubbish, but a thing useful for a modern interior. You will find the simplest and most interesting ideas for remaking in this article.
Instead of a coffee table
Removing a suitcase into a stylish coffee table is a simple task. You need to buy small wooden legs for the table in the building materials store and attach them to the suitcase. Inside such a table it is convenient to store magazines, books and other necessary trifles. If desired, the surface of the suitcase can be repainted or decor elements added, for example, using decoupage technique.
Instead of a bedside table
An old suitcase can also easily replace a bedside table. To do this, as in the case of a coffee table, you need to buy wooden or metal legs in a hardware store and attach them to the base of the product. The main thing is to choose the legs of a suitable size so that the nightstand is not too low or, conversely, too high compared to the bed.
Instead of a pet bench
You can turn a suitcase into a cozy pet bed for just 10 minutes. To do this, just put a small pillow or several pieces of fabric on the bottom of the product. The cover can simply be folded back, leaning it against the wall, or completely removed. To make the new bed better fit into the interior of the house, it is enough to repaint the suitcase and sew a new pillow for it from a material of a suitable color.
Organizer for children's toys
Most often, parents put children's toys in old boxes, large bags or even bags, which does not always fit into the interior of the children's room. A more suitable solution in this case would be to remake a large old suitcase into a stylish toy organizer. If the product is well preserved, it will be enough just to wash it from dust and dirt. But if there is a desire and free time, you can repaint the future organizer and replace the lining inside it. With such a beautiful little thing, it will be much easier to teach a child to clean up toys with him, as this process will turn into another entertainment for him.
Instead of shelves
In addition to a table, organizer or bed for a pet, an old suitcase can be converted into a stylish shelf. To do this, cut 1/3 of the front of the product, with a handle and locks, attach it to a wooden board with glue or screws. Then hang the finished shelf on the wall. You can also crop half the product if the shelf should be wider.
Instead of a vase for dried flowers
Such an idea of remaking is suitable for lovers of stylish decorative gizmos for decorating a house. To make a vase, prepare dried flowers, tree branches, cones and other elements of the composition, fix them in a special oasis glued to the bottom of the suitcase. The decoration is ready. A vase with dried flowers can be placed in any part of the house, the main thing is that its size corresponds to the chosen place.
