A house that surprises us with ingenious and unexpected furnishing solutions exerts an undeniable charm on anyone who visits it. For those who live there, it is fun to find these furnishing ideas. Recycling projects often allow you to do just that by finding new functions for common objects that would normally be thrown away. For example, wooden hangers can be reused in truly original ways, turning them into pieces of furniture or even into useful accessories such as wall hooks, photo frames or jewellery boxes.

Below, we propose some projects that you can try to replicate by recycling old, wooden hangers:

By using the wooden part of the hanger with hooks, you will have many supports to hang necklaces, bracelets or even earrings, and scarves - all of these, and more, can find a space on the horizontal bar!

Lots of wooden hangers placed in opposite directions and joined by wooden sticks of the same material: here is a DIY dish drainer that you could also use to tidy up pans or lids in the kitchen furniture.

Fastened to a wooden panel, and using three-quarters of each hanger, with the hanger hook facing downward: here is a hanger unit to be used at the entrance to the home, and made with minimal expense. And you could customize it by painting it black or with other colors that match the surrounding decor.

A felt panel, suspended with a hanger, and with many pockets to organize objects on the wall and clear the desk: when you tidy up by furnishing with creativity.

Wooden hangers can also become the legs of a bedside table, of those that are used for breakfast (in bed), or even to use with the PC in the bedroom or on the sofa.

Painted in bright colors and used to support two shelves made up of simple wooden planks: here is a shoe rack to use at the entrance to the home.

A similar idea, with the larger hangers that act as legs and support for the shelves of a cabinet useful in the living room as a coffee table to be placed next to armchairs or sofas, or to furnish a corridor or a landing.

They are also perfect as small console or table legs.

Even furniture with a really interesting and original design can be made out of hangers!
