Industrial style is one of the most popular decorating options of the 21st Century. It is not cold, colorless and visually boring as some would believe. On the contrary, vibrant works of art pop out when placed in a sea of mechanized and office-style home decor. When vintage factory furnishings are combined with industrialized art, the results are nothing short of stunning. Consider these five fabulous ways to use an industrial postman cabinet. It can be used in the dining room, kitchen, craft room and more.
Organize the Utility Room
A utility room does not have to look like something that should be in a garage. It can be a stylish and highly useful part of the home. With the addition of a vintage industrial postman cabinet, it can be just as practical too. Imagine what you could store in 30 labeled drawers. It would be a great place to organize and store everything from adhesive to zip ties.
Industrialize and Organize the Kitchen
Some might think that an industrial postman cabinet is too dark and too dingy for a kitchen. The heart of the home is an ideal place for cabinetry with industrialized style. Consider styling the built-in cabinets after the vintage postman design. Sand, prime and paint the built-in cabinetry to match the freestanding furnishing. It can look amazing, and for a lot less than the cost of all new built-ins. Use the detached unit for storing all sorts of kitchen items including gadgets and spices.
Neatly Categorize Home Office Supplies
If you have a home office, you already know that storage is a must. In a home with industrial style, a large vintage postman cabinet could be the answer to your organizing needs. Use the drawers to store anything necessary to run your business and/or pay bills. The drawers can be stylishly labeled to avoid unnecessary digging and searching.
Systematize Crafting Supplies
Do you enjoy crafting? You do not need a craft room to house all of your supplies. In a home with industrial style, a vintage postman cabinet is the ideal solution. In keeping with the style of the space, use metal letters to label the drawers. Everything that fits will be close at hand and easy to find. It is a fantastic way to use the vintage furnishing.
Add Dining Room Items and More
Homes with true industrial style are not cluttered with all odds and ends. Many are minimalistic by design. The dining room is an ideal location for a vintage postman cabinet. Use the drawers to hold napkins, flatware, table coverings, seasonal items and anything related that will fit. Consider turning the furnishing into the focal point of the room by hanging a large open gear clock directly above it. The freestanding unit will solve some of your storage needs while enhancing the style of your home.
