Upcycling Storage Hacks

Rob Marchese • June 27, 2019

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to go out and spend a ton of money on all new storage and organizational tools when looking to create more methodical room at home. You can accomplish that by upcycling things you already have! For those new to the term upcycling, when you upcycle you reuse objects and materials giving them new life and purpose. Typically the things that you upcycle become more valuable too! For example, picture a wine crate. Once the bottles of wine has been removed from the crate, that crate can then be painted, finished and utilized as storage for other household items. Stack a bunch on top and/or next to one another to create a larger storage piece! For those of you who consider yourselves to be a ‘Type A’ kind of person, add labels to the crates to design an even more tidy look and feel to your new upcycled storage spot.

Check out these cool, creative and clever ways to make more storage spots in your home with things that you already have!
