When the time comes to replace your current window shutters with new window shutters in Incline Village, NV, what will you do with the old ones? You might think that the only option is to bring them to your area’s landfill. That’s a convenient option, but it’s one that will only contribute to the problem of overcrowding at landfills across the nation.
What if there was another way – a way to repurpose your old window shutters to give them a second life? What follows are 4 ways that can repurpose old shutters so that they benefit your home in different ways than what they were originally created for.
1. Turn Them into Headboard
Now here’s a novel idea – how about using your old window shutter as a headboard for a bed in your house? Of course, you’ll need to make sure that the window shutter is a good fit for the bed in question, but it can make an interesting choice that can inject the room with a whole new rustic charm. If you want, you can paint the repurposed window shutter or you may simply want to keep it as is.
2. Notice Board
Have you considered using an old window shutter as a notice board? You can find a wall in your home where a notice board would be appropriate, nail a window shutter to that wall and then get to work using it as a notice board. Depending on where you put it, you can inject the wall with a retro sense of style. You can use it to put photos, place letters and even hang car keys.
3. Room Divider
Depending on the type of window shutters you’re replacing, you can repurpose them as room dividers. You can be creative in terms of placement, but the general idea is that window shutters can be used to divide a room into sections. They’ll also look great.
4. Bedside Table
For this idea, you’ll need to nail a window shutter to the wall – near to your bed – and then install brackets on the window shutter so that you can secure a shelf. You can figure out the height of the shelf based on your own requirements.
These are just some of the many things you can do with your old window shutters if you plan on replacing them. Just because they’re past their prime for your windows doesn’t mean that they can’t be repurposed and live on in another capacity.
