There is a corner in every house where all those things gather which do not even feel like throwing and no reason to keep it. Grandma’s old box, the empty glass jar of pickle, the silk saree of the mother whose color has faded … All these stuff keeps dust as ‘junk’.
But what if we tell you that it is not a junk, but a hidden treasure? Yes, with a little understanding and creativity, you can give these useless things a new and modern look that the viewers should be surprised. This will not only save thousands of rupees, but will also give your home a personal and unique touch that cannot be found even in an expensive showroom items.
So before calling the junk one next, try these 5 ideas.
1. Grandma’s box will be the center table
Every house definitely has an old, heavy iron box or trunk. Instead of throwing it in the junk, clean it thoroughly. Paint it with bright color (eg yellow, blue or royal black) of your choice. Just, your magnificent and vintage style center table or coffee table is ready! You can make it even more beautiful by placing some books and a small plant over it.
2. glass bottles will be made ‘fairy lights’
Do not throw empty bottles of alcohol, sauce jar or pickle barnis. Wash them thoroughly and dry them. Now put just a thin battery fairy lights inside them. Your beautiful and expensive looking night lamp or decorative light piece is ready. You can decorate them in any corner of the house, balcony or bookshell.
3. Designer Kushn will be made from mother’s old saree
The old saris of silk, Banarasi or binding prints are very beautiful to see, even if they are torn from somewhere or their color has faded. By cutting a good portion of these sarees, you can create luxurious and designer cushion covers, curtains or table runs. This will give your living room a traditional and royal look immediately.
4. Plants grown in a broken cup or kettle
Do not be sad if your favorite cup is broken while drinking tea. Broken cups, mugs or chronic tea kettle can become the best planters for planting small plants, especially succulents. It looks very cute with your study table or kitchen window.
5. Stylish shelf will be made of old wooden ladder
There is no need to throw the old wooden ladder lying in the house. Clean it by rubbing it with sand and paint with the color of your choice. Now make it stand on the wall. You can use its steps to keep books, decorate small plants or hang towel in the bathroom. This will give your home a very modern and bohemian look.
So the next time something becomes old, you will definitely think once before throwing it … maybe he is waiting to become the next ‘statement piece’ of your house!
