What is the most worthy way of decluttering your home without necessarily throwing out all you have? Yes, you already know the answer. You just need to exchange your old items to bring home things that more efficient and space saving. But on top of that, you should also try to recycle some of your old items to give them a new lease of life.
Today we will show you some amazing ways of recycling your old bed slats into things that are functional and useful for your home. We know these have been rotting in your basements or lofts for a long time, so it is time to bring them out and begin planning for some fun DIY projects. Oh yes!

How about using those old bed slats to craft a couple of benches and a small coffee table for your balcony or patio? Do not worry about the possible irregularities in shapes and sizes, especially if you are doing this for the first time. Take this as a fun weekend project and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
In the picturesque setting of your garden, all the imperfections will just disappear. Keep them simple. Decorate the benches with cosy cushions and throws for comfort.
