We all have stuff that no longer serves any purpose around the house, but we still have trouble getting rid of it. Either it’s “still OK,” or “might come in handy” or holds some sentimental value to it. In extreme cases, this might lead to hoarding, but if you’re creative enough, you can solve the problem with some repurposing ideas.
Besides serving to an intent (again), repurposed items add this lovely touch of creativity and coziness to space. Heck, most of the time, upcycled things become even cooler than they initially were. Also, there’s the aspect of conserving the fragile ecosystem by saving it from unnecessary trash. So if you want to go green, repurposing should be one of your goals.
To help you get started, we made a selection of creative repurposing, reusing and upcycling ideas. Try to recognize the repurposed materials in the pictures and upcycle yourself!
