Crate Train Your Clutter

Crates may seem like things you just toss out or give to your husband so he can stuff it away in his garage, but they can actually be quite useful around the home.  You can use them in multiple ways to control the clutter you collect.

Hang them on the Wall

You can easily mount a few crates to the wall and use them as shelves.

Use them to Hold Magazines and Books

Crates are great storage options for old magazines and books.  They are also a great place to store board games.

Put Away the Toys

Wooden crates are a perfect alternative to traditional toy boxes. Attach wheels to the bottom to make them mobile.

Keep Your Pillows off the Floor

Instead of putting those throw pillows on the floor, why not give them a place to stay when you have company over or just need some extra room on the couch.

Plant a Garden

While this next idea might not exactly include "clutter," it certainly is a creative way to use some old crates.

  1. I agree 100%. Wine crates are durable, decorative and are great for storage. They give a nice vintage/nostalgic accent to a modern décor. If your looking for more wine crates for other projects visit Winepine - www.winepine.com
