As we all know, ladders are incredibly practical and durable tools - perfect for when it comes to getting jobs done around the house. But have you ever thought about how you can use this DIY staple for aesthetic purposes? In this blog, we’ll give you five great ideas for incorporating your trusty old ladder into your home decor. Whether it be a temporary or permanent fixture in your home, these creative ideas are bound to add a distinctive edge to your home.
1. Create a Linen Storage Ladder
If you’re a bit strapped for cupboard space in your home, you could use your old ladder to hang blankets, towels or throws. Perfect for use in a bathroom, bedroom or any communal area, what makes this decor idea so handy is that it stores your linens vertically from its rungs - saving you precious shelf or floor space. Plus, it looks great! It’s a minimalistic concept that fits in well with hygge-style aesthetics.
2. Create a Cost-Effective Centrepiece
Do you have an event coming up and need ways to deck out the venue? Simply repurpose your step ladder to create a lovely centrepiece. Whether you decide to paint it a different colour, hang fairy lights and flowers or balance pictures and items of significance on the rungs, a decorative ladder can act as a beautiful focal point at your venue that guests will struggle to ignore. You could even turn it into a sweet stall using attachable baskets and hooks to make your event even more special!
3. Repurpose as a Plant Stand
If you’re proud of your thriving houseplants and want to give them the recognition they deserve, using a ladder as a plant display is an excellent way to do this. If you have a platform step ladder to hand, you’ll find that there’s even space to conveniently store your other gardening essentials, like a watering can and some small pruning scissors.
4. Use It for Storage
Ladders make great space-savers - especially when you start thinking outside the box! If you have any type of pole ladder that you no longer use for its intended purpose, why not reuse it as a storage solution? You could mount the ladder to the wall or ceiling to create a clothes drying area, a shoe rack or even to hang pots and pans.
5. Add Seasonal Decorations
Why not break out your ladder for the holidays and give it a seasonal purpose? You could decorate it with fairy lights and festive accessories for Christmas, Halloween, birthdays and any other holiday you choose to celebrate. A seasonally-decorated ladder makes a great eye-catcher if you want to share the festive joy with passersby.
