Are you ready to take DIY to a whole new level? Pipes are a DIY enthusiast’s best friend. Pipes can be used to create a variety of furniture and home accessories to make your home more practical and visually interesting. This quick guide will introduce you to some DIY pipe furniture ideas that you can do with just a simple trip to the hardware store.
Pipe Hooks
Pipes can be attached vertically to wall spaces to create inventive hook storage. If you are already working with an industrial décor theme, pipe hooks will be a great addition. The best part is that you can create these awesome storage accessories with just simple tools and discarded old pieces of metal or plastic pipe.
Shoe Racks
The shape of pipes really lends itself to shoe rack inventions. There is always a need for more shoe storage. Get creative with discarded pipes to create a truly one-of-a-kind creation. Pipes can be added to wooden shelving to increase storage space for shoes. This works well in a mud room or entryway.
Custom-Made TV Stand
You can even make a TV stand out of pipes. This is a great way to recycle, reduce, and reuse. Instead of going out to buy a new TV stand, why not create your own with old pipes and simple tools? By combining pipes with reclaimed wood you can create a truly unique piece of furniture that is also kind to the environment.
Dog Bed
Don’t forget about the pets. Even they can benefit from pipe creations. Pipes can be used to build a square frame that you then stretch over with fabric to create a cozy, dog hammock bed.
Cat Tree
Cats can get in on the fun, too, with a cat tree creation. Pipes can be combined with wood to build a cat tree. A cat tree will provide your furry friend with a place to play and exercise. By simply wrapping pipes with rope or twine, you provide your cat with a comfortable place to scratch and stretch.
Shelving
Turn a blank wall into something stunning with pipe shelving. These can be used to display your pictures or trophies or whatever you like. Use salvaged wood to make this a truly recycled work of art.
Bar
Does your man cave or game room need a little something extra? How about building your own home bar out of pipes? Pipes can be used to create the frame of the bar, which can then be covered with whatever material you choose.
