Repurposed Home Decor Can Be Fun

By Sharon Anderson


A person may change their home because they want something that is visually appealing or seek a solution that provides more space. Whatever the reason, there are many ways to go about this is in a way that may not cost a lot of money. People have used repurposed home decor when they are looking to cut costs or have a life event, like expanding their family.

This is not to be confused with terms like flea market decor or thrift shop chic. However, some professional decorators may consider these design styles an extension of repurposing. Overall, the idea is to make the most use of materials and unexpected objects to create a theme or get multiple uses from an object.

When sustainable living became more common, manufacturers and some independent designers found ways to use materials that did not contain chemicals. Materials like bamboo, hemp, and recycled plastic are not only safe to use in the home but sometimes more durable. Scientists are always discovering materials that follow this protocol and will be affordable for the buying public.

No longer do these items come in drab colors or shapes that are not functional or lack a visual aesthetic. Not only are the modern designs practical but are congruent with most interior decor styles. As more individuals become aware of sustainable living benefits, more products for consumer use will become available and affordable for many.

Using objects over and over again is not a new concept. There was once a time when family members would pass things down to younger members or their neighbors as a part of goodwill. College students often found repurposing necessary as a way to survive while studying full time. Although this may be considered a trend now, most people are happy to own something that is different.

Heavy cotton is a fabric that can have a multitude of uses in the home. Some people like to convert their denim jeans or jackets into household items or create a decorative theme around this unique textile. Clothing made from fancy materials can also see new life as a decorative accessory. Many books and online tutorials are available for aspiring crafters, as well as those who cannot use a needle and thread.

More independent designers are emerging to create items that look expensive but in reality, cost little to nothing. Dyes and minor alterations can renovate any piece that is intact. These designers often like to show off their wares online with their own gallery or through an online merchant. There are even a few who do not mind sharing what they know with like minded creative persons.

This is to say that home interior repurposing has come a long way since people used milk carton crates as shelves or storage. More people are finding satisfaction is making the most of natural and non toxic resources. Even better are the businesses that keep their prices low by using old but durable materials over buying brand new and passing the cost to the customer.
