Boxes come into our lives on an (almost) daily basis. Instead of throwing them out, you can use them as home décor. Seriously… check out these amazing ways to decorate with boxes.
How many boxes come into our lives each week? Cereal boxes, Kleenex® boxes, diaper boxes, shipping boxes… the list goes on. Most of the time we toss the boxes in our recycle bin and never give them a second thought… but did you know you can use those boxes to decorate your home? I have done it time and time again. Here are a few examples…
See this lint box? It started out as an oversized Cheerios™ box from Costco! (See the full tutorial here.)
And that “Laundry Sign”? Yep. It started out as a cardboard box! (See the full tutorial here.)
While a bit more obvious, these pantry bins are simply boxes wrapped in wood photo backdrop paper. Add a chalkboard label, and you’re good to go. (Full tutorial here.)
I’m not the only one holding onto my cardboard boxes. Check out these amazing transformations!

I am simply amazed at how people have been able to take a simple cardboard box and turn it into a great home decor piece… Best part? Boxes are FREE. Can’t beat free, right?

Searching your own house for decor before running to the store is so important!
Oh I just saw this. Erin thanks for putting me in such good company. Working with boxes is such a great way to get the look you want at a fraction of the cost.
