Getting Creative With Clutter And Storage

After a long while, the clutter of varying types will end up piled up in your home over time. It’s something that can be unavoidable sometimes. But there will always be solutions on how to tackle this. Like decluttering and throwing away all the other extra clutter found in your home. 

Or, if you plan to keep all the extra ones, you can categorize them all and store them up.

Because they’re all still clutter, storing them all up in shelves and boxes might still not look all that pretty by the end of it all. Thankfully, you can always opt to always go for the creative route and go for some decorative storage units. Here are a few ideas.

Sometimes Old Baskets Don’t need Redecoration

Basically, old weaved baskets are already inherently pretty. The aspect that gives them that specific type of beauty lies because they already have some level of aesthetic because of the weaving, technically making them decorative storage baskets.

But like what was mentioned, you can opt to go for the creative route and paint these baskets. You can pick the most fitting colors that could fit the theme of your home. One of the best effects of painting baskets will help protect them from moisture and other elements in the environment that could wear out the basket over time.

Recycle Old Boxes

Shoe boxes, or any sort of box that’s sturdy enough to store things, can also be used not only as basic clutter storage but more importantly, decorative storage. Just like the decorative baskets, these can all also be painted on, which helps in protecting them from moisture. These will have a higher risk of water damage, as boxes are usually made of cardboard. If however these boxes will be placed far from moisture and the elements, there are other ways for these things to look more decorative. 

One idea is to cut up old colorful magazine pages into little squares, – doesn’t have to be dead-on straight. Then stick them one by one on the boxes. If you want, you can also group these small square pieces into grouped shades of blues, greens, reds, etc. You not only get to recycle old boxes, but you also get to repurpose all those old magazines collecting dust.

Get Creative with the Decorations and Storage Space Choices

For decorating these storages, there really isn’t just one way to make them look more attractive and more colorful. Paint and colorful paper pieces aren’t just the way to go. You can also go all out and drape some of those modern-looking fairy lights. 

If, for example, you have round-shaped storages mounted on the walls, you can paint the walls light blue and turn those round storages into white clouds. 

If you don’t have access to old baskets and/or boxes, old metal trays languishing in your garage, for example, can also be repurposed. Just a bit of scrubbing and repainting if needed will do. 

Old Shelves can Be Decorative too

If at the moment you really don’t have access to or have extra boxes and baskets lying all about, you can still get creative with your shelves.

For some, just black shelves really make do. That minimalist style will always work, even in rooms that are actually full of color. On the other hand, you can always go wild and creative at the other end of the spectrum. 

Depending on the location, you can place old knitted rags on the shelves and then place them in the various furniture and books you would want to store. This gives off that cozy vibe. 

For other types of shelves, the paint will always be a good benefit when it comes to protecting it and making it look a bit more attractive and not an eyesore.

Getting Creative when it comes to Clutter Comes in a lot of Ways

Besides actually having to store some of these objects and old furniture, you can also be creative in a way that you can repurpose these objects.

Most of these things might not be working properly now because of old age. Or they may not be working anymore at all. But the fate of these objects will all just depend on you.

Old fashioned lamps can be fitted with new LED bulbs and modern wiring. In the same sense, you can repurpose all other old containers as storage. That way they can all still be useful and if they fit the overall aesthetic of your home, can be displayed.

Get Started!

In the end, it all falls down to what your budget is, and what you see in your mind. Your vision. A good tip here is to list down all the things you plan to do, as well as the plans of how you would want your home to look after you have repurposed some storage and reorganized some clutter. Need a bit of paint and glue? Write it all down. Write all the prices too. That way you can have a projection of the required costs for these types of redecoration and rearrangements.
