I’ve mentioned before that I use suitcases in our bedroom for extra storage. But that’s just one way to repurpose a vintage suitcase. For some gobsmackingly creative ideas, scroll on!
Giftwrapping box
Collect all your wrap, tags and tape in one place in a mobile wrapping station.
Sewing kit
Mini macs
Similarly, use it as a hobby or sewing kit to keep everything together and make it portable.
Blanket box
Use large trunks at the foot of the bed for blankets, shoes or out-of-season clothes.
Shelving
Add shelves to a trunk to create a mini closet or shoe rack.
Liquor trolley
Go one better and add wheels to create a rolling booze cabinet.
File rack / pinboard
Affix to your study wall for a memo board and hidden file storage – genius!
Vanity/medicine cabinet
How incredible is this vanity cabinet?
Bedside table
Simply plonk a suitcase on a stool for an instant bedside table with plenty of storage.
Table
You could add legs for a sturdier option.
Pet bed
Add a cushy insert to give your pet the coolest bed around.
Chair
Recreate
Or make some human-sized furniture.
What would you do with a spare vintage suitcase?
