Old chairs: they’ve been sat on, stacked in the garage, and maybe even left curbside more times than we’d like to admit. But before you toss that creaky seat or worn-out dining chair, take a look at these incredibly clever and creative ways to give them a second life. Whether you’re working with a full chair, a lone backrest, or even just a few spindles, there’s no shortage of crafty potential hiding in those curves and corners.

From charming garden planters to practical storage solutions, old chairs can be transformed into stunning home décor with just a little DIY love. Some ideas keep the original function of the chair in mind—like converting it into a stylish French-style bench or an elegant dog feeding station. Others think completely outside the box: imagine turning chair backs into towel racks or photo hangers, or using spindles to create whimsical wind chimes that add charm to any porch or patio.

You’ll also discover ways to use parts of the chair in unexpected and useful ways—such as turning legs into coat hooks, backs into earring displays, or full frames into scarf racks and chalkboards. It’s the ultimate reminder that even the most forgotten furniture can be reimagined into something beautiful.

Whether you’re a hardcore upcycler, a casual weekend DIYer, or someone who just hates to see good wood go to waste, these 25 chair makeovers will have you scanning thrift stores and garage sales for your next creative fix. You might even start hoarding broken chairs on purpose—because let’s be honest, there’s something magical about turning trash into treasure with your own two hands.
