The old trunks – reminiscent of the grandparents’ home attics
You can find them forgotten in the home attics of your grandparents or at any flea market.

Vintage trunk decoration ideas
When you are buying an old trunk, the first thing you have to take into account is how you are going to use it as a storage or as a decorative element.
By all means the mission of old trunk is decoration. In other words, it can be a special item place into a corner that you want to stand out.
But these fabulous and versatile objects can be used as alternative ideas for different furniture pieces. They can be used as coffee tables, side tables, pedestals for potted plants, etc.
The decorative function of the trunks can be accentuated by creating a vintage decoration with flowers, bottles, old boxes, old pictures, and any other motifs that highlight its old value.
An old trunk is a perfect decorating option for a dead corner of a room or typical hallway corners where a large furniture piece does not have enough space to be placed.
Trunks can be used effectively in the bedroom. They are perfect for both, decorative element, and extra-storage space. The most ideal places are along the walls or as a bed foot bench.
How I have already told you a trunk can also have a double function in the living room if it is used as a coffee table.
In fact, an old trunk can be successfully used in any room of your home not to mention balcony and patio.
