Up The Ladder; How To Use A Ladder In Home Decor


Ladder as Towel Holder
Ladders are very much common in bathroom decor as towel holders. Convenient and simply charming. Ladders with wide steps can also be used as shelves for storing various bathroom accessories.


Ladder as Clothes/Shoe Rack
If your wardrobe lacks space or if the bedroom is too small to fit one, you can use ladders as a clothes rack, a shoe rack or an accessory rack. A double ladder can be enhanced with a bar to be able to use hangers and store more clothes. Heeled shoes can easily be fit on the thin-step ladder, use a wide step ladder to store flat shoes.


Ladder as Dish Rack/Shelf
Dishes can be neatly displayed on wide step ladders or equiped with boards to fit more plates and pots.


Ladder as Bookshelf/Magazine Rack
Use a ladder as a small bookshelf to always keep a few favourite books around. It can also serve as a cool magazine rack in the bathroom, living room or near the reading nook.
