Furnishing with vintage objects in completely unexpected and creative ways is a trend that never ceases to fascinate many: the idea of ingeniously unused, old items has become very popular recently. It is a pastime that many people enjoy.

Among the objects that lends themselves to great creative furnishing ideas, there are vintage suitcases and old steam trunks. Seeing them immediately makes one think of the past, and how things have changed. And who knows where these pieces of luggage have been and what they have seen! Wouldn't it be nice to find yourself dreaming about this every now and then - and thanks to a piece of furniture that is unique? If you think so, take a look at the ideas below:

Depending on the types of legs you choose, older suitcases can become a modern feature!

Would you have thought that a compact suitcase could also serve as a bathroom cabinet, complete with a mirror (and placed over the sink)?

An antique trunk, one made of wood, is ready to serve as a bar cabinet.

And if instead you use classically styled legs, then here is an idea for a more romantic context, in the shabby chic fashion.

And what if each suitcase fits perfectly into the compartments of an old chest of drawers, in place of the original drawers themselves?

A suitcase that has been turned into a vanity corner: you lift the lid and find all your beauty products inside. But you can also close it and use it as a bedside table!

Suitcases progressively smaller and stacked one on top of the other: it is an arrangement that can be used, for example, as a side table.

... or they could become a decorative feature for many bland corners of the house.

And why not turn them into small armchairs with soft padding?
