Crafty Home Projects With Crates
Crates is yet another basic DIY material that you can get from factories and grocery stores. The familiar wooden texture gives it a default rustic appearance. It’s nice already as a container but we think it can be made into something much more for your home. You know, something more than just a container. Something with a higher purpose. And, boy we have made this amazing list that will open your mind with other possibilities that you can make with it. Check them out!
1. Crate & Pipe Industrial Table
Fond of industrial designs? Here’s something that might suit the accent! Add legs to a typical crate and it’ll make a nice table. But wait, reinforce it with L-brackets so it’ll turn out tougher!
2. Front Porch Bench
The front porch could use a nice bench. Not just any bench, but a bench with some storage underneath for your shoes. Lift them up the ground a bit with some wooden legs. Adjust accordingly to fit the desired ergonomic height.
3. Wall Shoe Shelves
Wow! Amazing! Paint jobs and creative arrangements turn these crates into nice decorative shelves for the shoes. Look at how amazing they decorate the walls! You can put on other decorative items like flower vase to lighten the space with a bit of greens.
4. Toilet Shelves
Toilet can be one of the best place to have more shelves. That’s because it’s usually packed and the only way we can put more of our items inside is vertically with shelves.
5. Storage Coffee Table & Stools
These stools are not your ordinary stools. You can actually lift the cushion up and put more things inside. The coffee table too has storage space with crates as drawers. Cool huh?
6. Pallet Bed Frame
This pallet bed frame has crates as under-bed drawers. Nice!

You can arrange them however you like. Here we can see a unique display of white-themed objects. It make really such a nice decorative in the house.
9. Crate Desk
We have coffee table, ottoman and now, a desk! It may not look that elegant but it works and it’s cheap!
10. Bench Storage
This is something similar to that of the front porch bench (no. 2). But, in this design, the crates are not attached to each other. So, you can disassemble and assemble them however you like. Give them a light paint job. That’ll make it much cheerful for kids’ room.

Crates maybe cheap but it makes such a fine wine rack. I like how the X shaped compartment actually makes a nice slope for the wine bottles and hold them in place.

If the train planter seems too overwhelming for you, here’s something light and simple. You can push it around to decorate whichever part of the house.

15. Side Table
A simple stacks of crates turn into a wonderful side table. I prefer it more if they add wheels to it. Makes vacuuming easier!
