We make storage from glass jars, boxes, caskets

1. Fold your photos, cards, and letters into shoeboxes

2. Transfer the cotton balls and sticks to the berry baskets

You can, of course, leave them in factory plastic packaging and bags, but it is much more aesthetically pleasing to adapt one common “vessel” for these necessary funds – for example, a basket of strawberries or raspberries – a bathroom design from such an accessory “a la nature” will only benefit. True, before filling it with contents, the basket will have to be thoroughly washed with a brush and dried.

3. Store stationery in glass jars

In order not to look for a paper clip in a pile of buttons, and an eraser in all the drawers of the desk, sort the clerical change into banks. The more interesting the shape of the can, the better. The most original glass containers are usually made from honey, jam and small pickled cherry tomatoes.

4. Create a sculptural composition

A great way to turn a mess into a decorative technique is to create a sculptural composition from available jars and vases. Ideally, all these objects should be combined in some way – for example, in color or the material from which they are made.

5. Make candlesticks out of glass jars

Homemade candlesticks from curly jars can be a great alternative to all kinds of purchased cups and candle holders. Line them up on a windowsill or in a group in the center of the coffee table. And don’t forget to add a little water to the bottom of the jar before placing the candle in it. This will help to remove the burnt wax more easily.

6. Use glass bottles as vases

Do your shelves resemble a collection point for glass containers? This resemblance is “not to face” the interior. Beautiful curly colored glass bottles can be easily turned into original semi-antique vases. Dip the bottles in warm water to get rid of the labels and they will instantly take on a new look. Place them on an open kitchen shelf so that light can pass through the colored glass. You can put a dried blade of grass or one single flower in such a vase. It doesn’t matter which one. Even sunny dandelion on a long stem in a bottle with a narrow neck will look spectacular and fresh.

7. Turn the chair into a bedside table

If a wobbly squeaky chair is about to fall apart, you can, of course, throw it into the dustbin of history, or you can find another “occupation” for it. It will make a wonderful bedside table in a small room. To make this piece of furniture look harmonious, paint it to match the bedroom set. It is convenient to hang light clothes on the back, and there is enough space on the seat for the books you read before bed, an alarm clock, a small lamp and a glass of water.

8. Make a vase out of a sugar bowl

The lid of a sugar bowl or a teapot is broken – no doubt, it’s for luck! Now this wonderful vessel is becoming a romantic vase for a small, lovely bouquet. Here you can put an armful of forget-me-nots, forest geraniums or some other summer meadow flowers. If desired, you can place larger flowers in it – roses, cornflowers, swimsuits, cutting off tall stems… The main thing that bouquet turned out to be low and voluminous.

9. Turn the saucer into a soap dish

A lonely saucer left over from an old service can start a new life, but not in the kitchen, but in the bathroom. Let it become a soapbox. Sophisticated painting, gold trim or curly edges will contrast perfectly with clean lines and whiteness porcelain sink.

10. Use plates as flower pots

If you have accumulated a lot of different colored plates that you have not put on the table for a long time, find a new use for them. Now let them serve you separately. For example, as stands for flower pots. And do not be afraid of contrast: a brown clay pot and a white porcelain plate are a great set for a white windowsill. Another idea is to put such a plate in the hallway: it will be convenient to put keys and all kinds of small things out of pockets in it.
