5 Gorgeous Upcycled Home Decor Items For Earth Day
Upcycled Shutter End Table: Anyone who has purchased an older home has found shutters attached to the outside. While shutters rarely serve their functional purpose these days, they can be painted, nailed together and used to create a fun and beautiful upcycled home décor item such as an end table or plant stand.
Upcycled Wooden Frame Key Hanger: Everyone needs a place to hang their keys so they don’t get lost. This is a simple, yet gorgeous way to upcycle home décor and make it into something functional and beautiful. Any frame will work, but especially those that are carved or ornate. Grab some sand paper and paint and create a unique new item to hang in your entry way, or near your garage door that will be both beautiful and serve to keep your keys all in one location.
Upcycled Window Shelf: Old windows are a popular item to use as an upcycled shelf, mirror or place to hang keys, hats or scarves. A few fun knobs or hooks and a coat of paint can create a great new piece of décor that not only celebrates Earth Day because it is upcycled, but also gives you and your home a bright lift of color.
Upcycled Pans Wreath: This is one of our favorite pieces. Many times we have old cookie sheets, serving platters or pizza pans that have been warped or perhaps even rusted. This idea was perfect for creating a large upcycled silver wreath using old pieces from your kitchen. Simply attach to the wall in a wreath shape and create a beautiful upcycled home décor item for Earth Day that will be a bright unique focal piece.
Upcycled Suitcase Medicine Cabinet: This may be our favorite of all the pieces for it’s unique method of not only upcycling and upgrading your home décor, but specifically your bathroom. Grab an older suitcase at your local thrift shop, clean it up and add a mirror to the outside and shelves to the inside. This unique find will create the perfect Earth Day treasure in your bathroom.
This year you can celebrate by creating one of these gorgeous upcycled home décor ideas for Earth Day! With a few things found around your home, in your shop or at local thrift shops and a bit of ingenuity you too can create beautiful upcycled home décor items.

I love these ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
These are some great tips. Thanks for the sharing. I like ideas that involve recycling.
I love the idea of re-purposing items, the shutter side table is very inspiring as well as the window/coat rack, I need to develop those kinds of eyes to see the potential, very cool!
I love the suitcase turned into a medicine cabinet
I love the pans wreath! Good idea!
Cleaning up an old door today, hoping to use it to hang photos….
I love the shutters and the suitcase. Awesome ideas.
You’ve made some beautiful things out of stuff that others would throw away. I too love the little table made from shutters, I would never have thought of that.
Great ideas, really like the table made with the shutters.
I love the key holder.
I love the upcycled key hanger! Not too sure about the luggage medicine cabinet – wouldn’t it be too heavy for the wall? I’d be afraid it would rip out from the wall and fall!
Great idea. I always like to encourage upcycling!
I love these furniture ideas! They are so beautiful and functional too!
I like them all but I love the repurposed shutter side table.
I like the idea of the repurposed vintage old window. I think this would be nice in my front entrance.
These are all very cute ideas thanks!
These are such great ideas! I love digging around at flea markets and thrift shops. I would much rather buy something older, with character, and fix it up than buy something new.
I love repurposing old window frames….mirrors, pictures frames, or just leave them as is!
These are really cute! I love the key holder. I love seeing how people up-cycle old items. It helps inspire me to do the same.
That SUITCASE Medicine cabinet is INSANE!! What a BRILLIANT idea! I have so many suitcases that aren’t being used, but I’m too “attached” to get rid of them. How about if we need it for a big trip, how about if we need to it store stuff? But Now I can repurpose it for something in the home. That is so clever!
I love all of these ideas! That suitcase mirror is SO cool!
I love this idea! Love the repurposed shutter side table.
The upcycled window shelf is my favourite!
