Your household linens can be used for a lot more than just their main purpose. Finding unique ways to use your bed sheets, towels and other home textiles can help increase sustainability and reduce waste. Take a look at some of the ways we feel you can incorporate your old linens in a new way.

Around the Home 

You can use your bed sheets as window curtains to create a unique look that can elevate your space. Additionally, consider reusing old bed linens as a new way to upholster seat cushions, pillows, and other outdated pieces. You can also use bed sheets as wrapping paper with an oversized velvet bow for a luxurious look - assuming you don’t want to keep them anymore! 

Outdoor Fun

A common use for bed sheets is to use them as picnic blankets or in place of towels at the beach as they can provide a larger surface area for a more comfortable lay. When it comes to the garden, try draping your sheets over your plants during the cool nights to keep them warm or tie them above your favorite seating area for a DIY canopy shade. If you have some extra towels you wish to use in a different way, try using some old washcloths as a moisture-retaining wrap for your plants to keep them from absorbing the proper amount of water.

Sustainable Benefits

There are endless ways you can repurpose your home linens that can make your life just a little easier. Consider these fun and helpful tips next time you are not sure what to do with your old linens. This helps reduce textile waste, minimize resource usage and lowers carbon footprint.
