Pegboard board
This is the name of the panel used for room decoration and storage of things. The spring frame will be a godsend for the designer. Using the same principle, a mattress can be used to create a desktop or place old photos.
Transformable chair
Everything is simple here too. Where necessary - cut, in other places - hem. It's worth the effort, but there is a downside - the process will take a lot of time.
Flower vases
Old springs can become original holders for bouquets. Just take one, detach it from the frame and place it straight. The solution is budget, but beautiful.
Practical hammock
Old pallets and a mattress - why not a hammock? You won’t spend extra money, and the place to relax will be excellent. Any person can create an original item of this kind.
In the kitchen
As decoration, old springs are used to store cutlery. Vinnytsia, systems for placing frying pans and pots, are also made from them.
Room decor
In the interior, old springs are used to decorate doors. You can also make Easter decor out of them. Craftsmen can also create various holders: for jewelry, shoes, etc.
Home lighting
Beautiful lampshades and a frame for a chandelier come out of the spring block. You can also make fancy shapes for candlesticks.
In the country
This is where a mattress can be a real boon. The block will be the basis for a green wall or trellis. Springs can be used as holders for seedlings. And if you also have an old bed, you can make a chicken coop. Excellent fences and gates come out of the mattress frame.
New Year's decor
There are many options here. You can make anything from springs:
- Christmas wreaths;
- cute Christmas trees;
- candy bowls, etc.
And how beautiful it turns out!
Bird feeder
Again, springs will come in handy. Remove them from the mattress and fill them with bird treats. All that remains is to hang the unusual feeder on a tree. Birds will definitely like it.
New mattress
If the product is not yet very old, but only the upholstery has deteriorated, you can reupholster it. All you need is new fabric, a stapler or hammer, nails or staples.
First, the old upholstery is removed in the garage or outside. Then the internal structure is cleaned of dust and dirt. All that remains is to do the tightening. To do this, the structure is covered with lining and then finishing fabric. Then you need to tighten and secure it. If the springs are not damaged, rather than buying a new mattress, it is better to simply improve the old one.
So, don’t write off what seems useless. There are many original ways to use a mattress. Of course, you can just throw it away, or you can realize your creative ideas.
