Repurpose Into a Gorgeous Coffee Table

An old trunk can be the perfect addition to your home, and with a little bit of work, you can repurpose an old trunk and turn it into a coffee table that will be the perfect centerpiece for your living room. Attach caster wheels to the bottom of the trunk so it can be easily moved around.

Give a Vintage Trunk New Life With a Fresh Coat of Paint

If you have a vintage trunk collecting dust in your attic, it’s time to give it new life with a fresh coat of paint. You can give your trunk a modern makeover with a few cans of spray paint, or even create a unique, one-of-a-kind design with some chalkboard paint.

If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can even add some decals or stencils to really make your trunk stand out. Whatever you do, don’t forget to line the inside of your trunk with some fabric or wallpaper to protect your belongings.

Transform Into a Chic and Functional Piece of Storage Furniture

By simply sanding down the wood, adding new hardware, and painting or stenciling a design, an old trunk can be given new life. These trunks can be used to store blankets, pillows, games, or any other household items that need a stylish home.

If your trunk’s hardware is looking a bit worse for wear, consider replacing it with something new. Once again, there are endless possibilities here, from antique-style hardware to more modern pieces. See decorative nail heads linked here.

Line the Interior with Fabric 

This is a great way to add both style and function to your trunk. You can use fabric to line the entire interior or just the bottom (to protect your belongings from scratches).

If you want to give your trunk a completely new look, consider adding some eye-catching decals or stencils to the exterior.
