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.

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.

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!
