Upcycling is the idea of re-using things that either you or other people don\u2019t want anymore. But don\u2019t let the idea of using \u2018rubbish\u2019 put you off. Upcycling can look edgy, raw and unique. It can be something as small as an old candle holder to keep large furniture and breathe a new lease of life into it. Upcycling is fast becoming a trend among bars and restaurants that simply go for the old-school look by using old furniture and lost treasures, not forgetting the natural material found outside. But you can make this style work in the home and in the garden too. Here are 11 ideas to inspire you to upcycle your home this summer.<\/p>\n

1. The Upcycled Pallet Table<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A personal favorite of ours, a practical upcycled table for both indoor use and outdoor use and you are guaranteed no one will have the same. Sand it down, paint it up and finish with varnish. Make it yours.<\/p>\n

2. The Upcycled Fire Pit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keep warm all night long with your own homemade, glowing fire pit made from a washing machine drum.<\/p>\n

4. Simply Upcycled Wine Bottle Candlestick Holder<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ok, it cannot get any easier or simple. Two old wine bottles would look fantastic on a mantelpiece, several dotted around the garden or as a centerpiece on the table. Just let the wax drip down the bottle for an older, rustic look.<\/p>\n
