Don’t Trash Out Old Drawers — Here Are 10 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Them

Before you toss out those old, worn, or unwanted drawers, hold on! Those humble wooden boxes are treasure troves of creative potential. With a bit of imagination and some DIY spirit, old drawers can be transformed into stylish, useful, and unique items for your home or garden.

Here are 10 brilliant ways to reuse old drawers — save money, reduce waste, and add charm to your space.


1. Rustic Wall Shelves

Mount old drawers on the wall for instant shelves with character. Use them as spice racks in the kitchen or display shelves in the living room.


2. Under-Bed Storage

Add small wheels to the bottom of drawers to create rolling storage bins for clothes, shoes, or toys — perfect for maximizing under-bed space.


3. Planter Boxes

Line the inside with plastic and fill with soil for charming garden planters. Perfect for herbs, succulents, or flowers.


4. Pet Beds

Add a soft cushion inside an old drawer to create a cozy, stylish bed for your cat or small dog.


5. Shadow Boxes or Display Cases

Use drawers to showcase collections like seashells, trinkets, or jewelry — add glass on top for protection and a polished look.


6. Desk Organizers

Place small drawers on your desk to keep stationery, cables, or craft supplies neat and within reach.
