Stack of plastic drawers can be used for decorating as well as for storage purposes. Though they do not seem to be decorating items at first, they can be embellished and displayed creatively to adapt to any room. Their availability in different colors makes it easy to the ones suitable with your décor. Below are some tips to help you use the drawers in your décor.
Paint them for a better effect
If even after you choose bins that have the appropriate color for your décor you still find them dull, you can spruce them up with paint. Give the drawers a fresh paint makeover. Remember to use a plastic primer so that the paint can stick and it does not peel off. You can paint all the bins in the same color. For more than five drawers, you can paint each bin a different color to create a rainbow effect. You may also create a fade effect by choosing one color and adding a little white as you paint each bin.
Plastic drawers as a coffee table
The drawers can also be used as a coffee table. This is by stacking two or three drawers on each end to create a table legs or base. On the stacked drawers, place a tabletop of glass or using kitchen cabinet doors. The cabinet doors can be connected by gluing a thin board on their back with adhesive. A smaller table will need one stack of the drawers made up of two or three bins and a top that is small. You may use one cabinet door. Use drawers of the color that matches the décor and you may also paint them if necessary.
Plastic drawers for wall unit
The drawers can be used with other storage facilities such as the bookcase or the wall unit turning them into storage sensations. Achieve this by painting the drawers in shades such as brushed stainless, silver or apple red. To create a writable surface, paint the bins with chalkboard paint. This way, you can write a message on the bins or write what is in the bin. If you do not want to paint the whole bin, you can paint a label-sized section.
Using curtains to cover the bins
If the bins are too many and you need to hide them, you can use curtains. You can use a shower curtain because it is relatively lightweight and it can hide a big number of the stacked drawers. To install the curtains, hang hooks on each wall near the corner in case you have placed the bins in the corner. Use a clothesline or a ribbon to hold the curtain up. For a small room, you can use an extension shower rod.
This way, your drawers are not exposed to the rest of the room as you use them for storage. Plastic stack drawers have many uses in the home and they can also be decorated to match with the home décor. They are not only suitable for storage, but they are also used for making tables. The bins can also be used with other storage facilities such as bookcases and wall units to organize them better.
