Whether leaning silent, yet strong against a wall, or as a function display piece - I just can’t quite explain the charm that old ladders bring to your home.
Old extension ladders with round rungs are very versatile. Cut short, they make a great leaning towel rack for the bathroom. Left at full length, hanging from the kitchen ceiling, these rustic charmers are a great way to hang pots and pans, dried herbs, or baskets of onions, garlic and potatoes.
Many open concept homes have large vaulted ceilings, often with a loft overlooking the great room. The tall walls can be difficult to decorate, as smaller pieces of art look lost in the grand space. Why not extend a ladder and lean it against the wall as a focal point, and add other rustic pieces hanging beside or near it.
Short ladders, while becoming hard to find, make great side tables in the living room or bedroom. Pile a few favourite books on top or place a small table lamp.
If you can’t find the perfect spot for a ladder inside, use one to decorate your outdoor space. Lean one against the brick on your front porch as the backdrop for your seating area.
