Branches can become real eye-catchers in rustic decor. Turn an old ladder into a homemade clothes rack. You only need to sand the surface and paint it in a strong color – and it is ready. Old pipes are a perfect addition to an industrial interior. For maximum effect, combine a pipe clothes rack with shoe shelves made from wooden pallets. Branches work well as hanging rails in a nursery too; the look is simple and charming.
