Ways to Decorate with Hat Boxes

Decorative hat boxes are inexpensive and can prove to be quite useful tools in home decorating. These boxes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns making them easy to find in a style that suits your room. Here are a variety of ways to decorate with hat boxes.

Ways to Decorate with Hat Boxes #1: Create An Inexpensive Nightstand

If you are in need of an inexpensive nightstand idea in your bedroom, consider using hat boxes. Find three or more in different sizes (small, medium, large, etc.) and coordinating colors. Stack the boxes with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on the top. Continue stacking these hat boxes until you have reached the desired height of your nightstand. Starting with the second box on the bottom, glue the bottom of the box to the lid of the one underneath it using a got glue gun. (This will provide additional strength to the tower of boxes, and still allow the lids to come off for storage.)

Ways to Decorate with Hat Boxes #2: Bathroom Storage

Using a large decorative hat box or two in the bathroom makes for a truly unique look. It also adds an extra abundance of storage within the room. Consider finding a large decorative hat box for holding hair dryers, hair strengtheners, curling irons, and other hair appliances. Add a second or third box stacked on top to hold makeup and hair product.

Ways to Decorate with Hat Boxes #3: Living Room Storage

A tower of hat boxes on top of existing cabinets looks very decorative. Consider using square designed boxes for holding DVD cases, VHS movies, CD cases and more. Any guests will not even know they are there, and the pattern on the hatboxes can add an additional focal point to your living room.

Ways to Decorate with Hat Boxes #4: Home Office Storage

If you have a home office, using decorative hat boxes also behooves you. Consider using them for holding photos, important documents, or those loose receipts. Decorative hat boxes are also wonderful for storing writing utensils and craft supplies.
