30 Creative Ways To Repurpose & Reuse Old Stuff

We all have old stuff to repurpose and things that no longer serve any purpose around the house, but we still have trouble getting rid of it. Either it’s “still OK,” “might come in handy,” or holds some sentimental value to it. In extreme cases, this might lead to hoarding, but if you’re creative enough, you can solve the problem by repurposing, upcycling, and reusing your old things.

Besides serving a purpose (again), repurposed items add this lovely touch of creativity and coziness to the space. Most of the time, upcycled things become even more remarkable than they originally were.

To help you get started, we selected 30 creative repurposing, upcycling, and reuse ideas. Try to recognize your old stuff in the pictures and repurpose it yourself!
