An old kitchen utensil, properly worked out in the hands of a creative person, can find a second life, sometimes turning into something new and serving for completely different purposes. In this article, we will give tips on how to give a second life to an ordinary kitchen scrub using a bit of imagination.
Old grater - what is it good for?
In addition to rubbing carrots or cheese, the old grater in the hands of the designer can become virtually anything. On the Internet you can find made from this kitchen fixture:
- Light fixtures
- Holders
- Coasters
- Garden interior elements
- Cache-pot
- Decor elements of all varieties and colors
Important! Classic modern graters often have the shape of a truncated pyramid, however, the old rectangular graters may well come in handy in design, turning, for example, into original holders for notebooks.
Let there be light
A classic small or coarse grater, in addition to grinding food, can also “grind” and light rays, making the lighting in the room softer and more mysterious. Of course, such an element of the interior will hardly fit into an apartment in the high-tech style, however, lovers of vintage and creative solutions will be delighted with it.
Important! For such original lamps, standard “Soviet” lamps are more suitable than modern energy-saving lamps. Light from the first will be much better correlated with the rest of the interior, and the light itself will acquire warmer colors.
Pencil order
Young and not very young artists will surely like the idea of turning a kitchen grater into an original organizer for pencils, pens or brushes (see photo).
The difference between such an organizer and a pencil holder is that in the second one the writing materials are a “bundle”, and in this case access to each item is more free. In addition, the holder can be anywhere (on the desk, above or below it) and the most acceptable place for the organizer is the table surface.
Speaking of holders ...
Holders can serve as a "holder" not only for writing materials, but also for any small items of everyday use. Recall the costume jewelry, which is usually stored in inconvenient and always overflowing boxes and caskets, in which you can hardly find anything concrete faster than a needle in a haystack. Thanks to this interesting idea, a holder from an ordinary kitchen grater can be an excellent alternative to jewelry jewelry storage boxes, as well as an interesting design element.
"Leaky" Vase
Quite an original and useful solution is to turn the float into a flower vase. In this case, it is better to take a herbarium or dried flowers in a bouquet, since the water in such a vase is unlikely to linger for a long time ...
