    Repurposed Home Decor Is All The Rage

    By Sandra Wright


    These days more and more people are finding the joy that comes from creating your very own repurposed home decor objects for your house and outdoor space. These days people don't want to throw away a ton of money on decorative accents for their dwelling. They would much rather use their creativity to come up with new and interesting ways to use things. People are also much more conscious about the planet and the effects that humans have on it. Using old items in new ways is one more way to do something good for the Earth.

    Take a look around your home first. Try to envision moving items from one room to another to change the look of both rooms. If you have a teapot that you love, but you don't make tea, turn it into a flowerpot, or use it to hold pens and pencils on your desk. You're also able to do the same with cups and glasses.

    There are so many things around you that can be repurposed. Somethings, such as a lamp is easy, you can just change a shade, or even make your own. Look for collections of things that you enjoy, and see how you can put them together to form a lamp base. Once you create a base, all you need is a kit to make the lamp work. It's fun, and you're left with a lamp is unlike any other lamp you'll likely find.

    Don't be embarrassed to stop by the side of the road to grab something out of the trash if it catches your eye. Many great finds are found this way. It's a great way to get free pieces to use in and around your property. Wood objects and furniture are almost always wonderful finds. These items can be refinished and made to look like they come from a high end store.

    Likewise be watchful for things that may be broken, for example, old, metal yard tabletops with a broken leg. The bistro tables work magnificently as a swing to swing from a tree. Simply include chains and locate an appropriate tree limb. At that point hop on and swing away. This is a lovely and fun accent for any yard.

    Bistro tabletops can also become wall art. Remove the legs and hang it on the wall over the fireplace. These tables often have beautiful decorative cutouts that make them look beautiful on a wall.

    Even something as seemingly useless as outgrown or outdated rubber rain boots can get a new life. Imagine them with pretty flowers growing inside. You can scatter these around the garden and grow favorite annuals inside them.

    As you can see, all that you have to do is look at everyday items with a new eye. Once you beginning repurposing you'll be hooked. It's fun and a great way to let your creativity loose. Don't be afraid to try, jump right in, you can't mess up. See what amazing things you can create from unused, and unloved items that are sitting around the house, or tossed out in the trash.
