Hang a solitary crate as shelving, perfect for organizing tea and coffee in the kitchen, books in the living room or accessories in the bedroom.
Make a portable catchall for toys, magazines and other clutter-causing items. Simply screw casters to the bottom, just as you would to make Under-the-Bed Storage Drawers.
Set a couple crates side-by-side or stack them for instant storage of toiletries, towels and cleaning essentials. Add a decorative touch to the top with fresh flowers or potted plants.
Rest a crate on a luggage rack beside your bed or couch to keep accent pillows off the floor and extra blankets within reach.
Keeping the nooks and crannies of crates clean can be a challenge, so let Swiffer® 360° Dusters help. Designed to clean in grooves and crevices, it traps and locks dust and allergens from cat and dog dander and dust mite matter better than a feather duster.
Position a set of crates in the entryway or laundry room for shoes, umbrellas, backpacks and grocery totes, or slide them into school-inspired cubbies.
Mount crates to a wall in the garage, shed or basement to hold sports gear, tools and bulk cleaning supplies, or to corral camping clutter.
For a country farmhouse feel, flip over a crate, fit a table leg into each corner and fasten with screws. Set it upright as an entryway or bedside table.
Tote tools to and from the garden in a crate, scoop soil from one instead of a cumbersome bag, overturn a few to add dimension to collections of container plants or use them to create a raised garden bed—a great option if it’s hard to grow plants in the natural soil.
