Baskets for the bathroom wall

Baskets on the wall are a great idea for decoration as they keep towels and other objects of hygiene and perfumery organised. They are simple, affordable and easy on the eye. Choose wicker or picnic baskets and attach them with individual hooks or towel racks in a horizontal bar format. You can tie elastic bands or satin ribbons at each end of the pieces so that they are suspended.

Bins in home decoration

Wooden crates are perfect for anyone who wants to contribute to recycling of materials. You can turn crates into amazing pieces to embellish different environments. The preparation of each piece requires washing and sanding the entire surface. Once completely dry, you can apply varnish or paint in a colour of your preference. Add some bling if you want to jazz it up.

Furniture made with pallet

Like crates, pallets can be transformed into decorating elements. They allow you to assemble large and sturdy furniture, such as beds and TV panels. The use of parts as a base for a mattress has become a trend, especially if the goal is to build a low or Japanese bed. You can sand paper them, or add stickers to make them look interesting.

Objects transformed into pots

Distributing plants and flowers through the environment makes the house cheerful and full of life. Customise containers like cracked mugs or cups, paint or canned cans, an old kettle or teapot and small watering cans.

Rope frame for a mirror

Nothing better than investing in mirrors to magnify and highlight an environment, right? Take a mirror of any size or shape, thick sisal rope, white glue and fame it with some potpourri stuck on it. Just be sure to hold the ends tight so as not to risk tearing and breaking the piece.
