30 Creative Ways to Repurpose & Reuse Old Stuff. We all have stuff that no longer serves any purpose around the house, but we still have trouble getting rid of it. Either it’s “still OK”, or “might come in handy” or just 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. Heck, most of the time, upcycled things become even cooler than they originally were.

DIY - En lekfull hyllning till PRÄNT | Redaktionen | inspiration från IKEA. Dorm DIY: Geometric Wall Hanging. If you’re living in dorms (or have ever been a teenager, for that matter), you’ve likely come across wall hangings. I’m sure you know the type — sold at the local head shop and printed with any number of psychedelic images such as kaleidoscopic patterns, tie-dye, dancing wolves and moonlit dolphins. Wall hangings, with their inexpensive materials and large dimensions, make wonderfully cost-effective ways to decorate your dorm room.
Unlike posters, which can be laborious to hang and often end up looking mismatched and cobbled together, a single wall hanging can lend a bit of cohesion to an otherwise jumbled space. If artwork reminiscent of an acid flashback isn’t your cup of tea, however, the art of the wall hanging might leave a bit to be desired. Materials One standard, flat sheet — We used a full-sized white cotton sheet. Above image: Triangle blocks from Todd Oldham’s Block Party Kit for Kid Made Modern.

They’re lightweight, they’re portable, they’re inexpensive, they’re somewhat comfortable, and they’re kind of fun. Let’s be real though— they are not cute. You might search high and low, but rest assured, it’s practically impossible to find an attractive beanbag chair.
Oftentimes covered in a heinous vinyl fabric in an equally atrocious color, bean bag chairs —despite being fixtures in dorm rooms for decades— can be quite the eyesores. Luckily, this problem is remarkably easy to fix! With a few basic materials and supplies, you can convert any run-of-the-mill beanbag chair into a surprisingly stylish addition to your space.
Supplies Directions 1) Find out how much fabric you will need by measuring the diameter of your beanbag chair. 2) Using a canvas drop cloth that accommodates two circles with the diameter of your above measurement, fold your cloth in half and lay it flat on the floor. 11) That’s it!
