Repurposed furniture designs are growing in popularity when it comes to home decor and interior design. Today's top trends see at least three different pieces inspired by everyday items such as Swiss Army knives, rope and shoe boxes. (For more insight and in-depth research about this, you'll want to check out Trend Hunter's 2013 Trend Reports).
The Swiss-Army-inspired kitchens feature seats and surfaces that swivel out from the central countertop space, enabling home owners to customize the way their kitchen looks and feels. This is a great feature for hosting parties, cleaning or cooking a large meal.
The Shoe Box Structures have taken the idea of a pop-up footwear shop and created a very literal experience for consumers by designing the store to look like an actual shoe box.
