The world of recycling focused on decoration is exciting. Not only because it promotes sustainability as opposed to the ‘throwaway’ culture. Also for the creative and original results that can be achieved with the reuse of materials. The only limit is in the imagination of the creator, so let’s invent!
Although recycling is usually associated with vintage decoration, as well as rustic style, really any type of interior design is likely to incorporate some recycled pieces or DIY ornaments (which stands for ‘Do it your self’). It is only necessary to combine them properly with the rest of the furniture.
The use of recycled furniture has become a trend, on the other hand, in chill out and lounge decoration, which usually uses recycled pieces of untreated wood to give a rural touch to the environment. This style also frequently employs furniture made from pallets -mainly tables and sofas. In fact, many chill out terraces use pallets as a base to create comfortable sofas or armchairs, where a custom-made mattress or upholstery combined with cushions and pillows do the rest. And, of course, chill out lighting is also recycled.
To inspire you to decorate your home or place by recycling, here are some ideas for transforming musical instruments, sports equipment and wheels into original furniture. Nothing is thrown away here. Any object can be recycled to surprise with a different and original decoration. In this case, moreover, it will not be out of tune and will run smoothly.
