It’s not very often we get the chance to stray away from the business side of springs and take a look at the ingenious ways other people use springs. However, as we’ve seen a movement to take older industrial items (like springs) and up cycle them, we thought it would be a great change of pace to see the several ways springs can be utilized beyond their traditional uses.
Home Décor
Several home owners are finding old military suspension springs and repurposing them to industrial, yet sturdy stools. These stools are an excellent way to reuse old springs that are commonly found on unused and abandoned large trucks.
The trend for recycled springs has moved beyond repurposing for furniture as many creative housewives are using springs for bedside table décor like this photo. This spring is being used as a decorative holder for a Christmas candle. What an excellent way to pull a charming, yet rustic look into a home.
