You know we love uncovering new uses for everyday things, and we’re all over the world of upcycling, repurposing, and the like. Today, we’re excited to highlight some serious innovation from all over the web. These 17 couches have all been made from repurposed materials, from the trunk of a ’57 Chevy to 6,400 nickels. Enjoy!
Vintage Car Couch
First up, a vintage car turned into a gorgeous piece of modern furniture. We love the whole setup here, especially the tires as decor. (via

Fridge Couch
That’s right. This company turns refrigerators into seating. Our favorite part is definitely the built-in side table. (via Fridgecouch)
Pallet Couch
This colorful number is made from a whole bunch of pallets and cheap Ikea mattresses. We love the sectional look. (via
Brit + Co.)
Phone Booth Lounger
This sort of looks like something that would happen if a hurricane hit London, but we’re digging the playful vibe. (via

Recycled Fabric Scraps
This one screams shabby chic. The upholstery was made from a whole bunch of recycled fabric scraps. This would be a great way to update a flea market find. (via

Recycled Cork Lounger
This picture might be too dreamy for just any old cardboard lounger, but we are totally ready to get lost in that landscape. (via Daniel Michalik)
Nickel Couch
We’re not sure that using coins to create a couch counts as upcyling. This armor-like piece was made using 6,400 nickels, setting you back $320. (via

Outdoor Daybed
Can we please live in this outdoor scene? We’re really digging the use of pipes as the edges of the daybed. (via
