10 wonderful furnishing ideas which recycle old suitcases

Old suitcases are not just useless objects from a bygone era, but are receptacles of memories and emotions we had on our journeys with them. This is why it is sometimes difficult for us to get rid of them when they are worn out. So, what can we do with old suitcases?

The answer is simple: recycle them as furnishing accessories! Below, we suggest 10 amazing ideas that will transform your old suitcases into original and unique furnishings.

1. Book shelves

Separate the two halves of the suitcase and mount them on the wall, adding a few shelf-like inserts: they will make perfect shelves for your books (or for your other keepsakes)!

2. Nightstand

If you need bedside tables in your bedroom, suitcases are the perfect solution: add a vintage touch to your bedroom.

3. Beauty zone

How about a wonderful make-up station? An open suitcase, some light bulbs and some shelves and it's done. You will feel like real diva!

4. Writing desk

For lovers of reading and writing, a fantastic desk which recalls the charm of writers from the past.

5. Pet beds

If you need a bed for your furry friend and you have an old suitcase, this is the perfect solution: an open suitcase, a pillow, a blanket and the bed is ready.

6. Armchair
