How do people deal with discarded refrigerators at home? Many friends might choose to sell them directly to scrap dealers or discard them, however, old refrigerators actually have many potential uses. It was only today that I realized how many uses old refrigerators have, no wonder someone is willing to pay for old refrigerators. If you have an idle refrigerator at home, I suggest you don't throw it away easily, you might want to try the following methods:

1、transform the old refrigerator into an aquarium

In the hot summer, does the leisurely swimming of fish in the viewing aquarium bring you a sense of coolness? If you happen to have an abandoned freezer at home, congratulations, it is the ideal choice for transforming into an aquarium. The process of transforming the cold cabinet is not complicated: first, you need to remove the door and compressor, keeping the inner shell part; then, lay out pebbles, plant aquatic plants and other decorations; finally, fill with clear water and put the fish in one by one... Thus, a refrigerator aquarium comes into being. Unlike conventional aquariums, it has a larger capacity and can house a variety of deep-sea fish, such as angelfish, golden dragonfish. Placing it in the living room will undoubtedly become a striking feature, and visitors will surely praise it.

2、transform the old refrigerator into a storage cabinet

You can remove the refrigerator door and install several shelves inside, quickly transforming it into a simple storage cabinet, suitable for storing books, magazines, toys, snacks and other items. If you prefer Instagram or Nordic style decoration, you might consider painting the cabinet body white or sticking wood grain stickers on the outside, thus easily creating an exquisitely designed storage cabinet. In fact, as long as you have an open mind, the refrigerator can even be transformed into a "customized cabinet". For example, if you are passionate about handmade crafts, you can fix some hooks on the internal shelves to hang small tools like scissors, needlework kits; for those who love fitness, you can transform it into a dedicated cabinet for storing dumbbells, yoga mats and other fitness equipment. No matter where this cabinet is placed, it can become a striking feature. When friends visit, they will surely praise your storage skills.

3、transform the old refrigerator into a flower rack

If you are fond of flowers, why not try transforming the refrigerator into a plant rack. The transformation process is similar to that of a bookshelf, using wooden boards to divide the interior into several layers, placing a few pots of green plants, you can quickly create a vibrant atmosphere. Compared to the fleeting nature of fresh flowers and the ious maintenance, succulents are easier to care for and their shapes are cute, making people feel happy. Placing such a plant rack on top of the refrigerator, you can enjoy the vibrant greenery every day, which is pleasing to the mind. If living space is limited and there is not enough balcony space, the transformed plant rack can also be placed in a corner of the balcony. In this way, even a small space can be transformed into a beautiful garden corner, which is also pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the above transformation methods, many people tend to turn refrigerators into works of art, or use them as decorations in the home. In our daily lives, there are many seemingly useless small items, in fact, through simple transformations, they can be reborn. Using existing waste items at home for transformation not only saves costs but also often makes the items more durable.
