I think we all have seen homes where ladders are used as design elements. Mostly I have seen them in bathrooms, where they are used for hanging towels. Actually there are many other ways how ladders could be used in home décor. I put together a list of 5 wonderful ideas for decorating with ladders. So here we go:
1. In bathroom for hanging towels. It seems to me that this is the most popular way to use ladders in interiors.

2. In living room or in home office to store throws or blankets. Some throws are just so pretty that you may not want to storage them hidden behind the closet doors.

3. In kitchen to hang towels or some textiles used for decorating dining table. Again, if you have some nice kitchen textiles you may want to use them as accent pieces in your kitchen and a ladder is one option for storing them.

4. In bedroom or in entry for exposing beautiful accessories like your favorite shoes, scarfs, bags … whatever you like!

5. In bedroom as a bedside table. Rungs can be used for clip lights, magazines and even for glasses!

What other ideas for using ladders in home decorating you have come across? It would be very interesting to hear!
Affaire With Interiors 
This is one of my next DIY’s. I just have to go up north to find some good wood from my parents place. Love all these photos!
Sounds great! Have you already decided how and where you will use yours? :)
The washroom as a towel rack. I wanted to either find a good old fashioned ladder at a flea market or garage sale in the middle of nowhere or try to make one up with branches. Knowing me, it’ll be find instead. LOL
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you’ll find the one you like! And I have also always many more DIY ideas than I actually do:D
I love the idea of a ladder as a bedside table- it would be harder for me to clutter up too!
I have usually loads of magazines and books on my bedside table, so I think it would be hard for me to get used to a ladder bedside table…
Such an inspiring post!! I’d love a vintage decorators ladder in my home. Apparently painters and decorators are getting all upset as their ladders kept getting nicked! They probably never realised they’d be such a collector’s item! Happy midsummer!
I think a vintage decorators ladder would be great! Hope you are having a great Midsummer! I have to wait one more day to get mine…:)
I love the shoe idea! Although I may need two or three ladders… I saw a ladder used as a light fixture in a restaurant once. It had little pendant lights hung from various rungs at different heights. Could easily make for a great DIY!
A ladder with little pendants sounds great!! Have a nice weekend!
I LOVE the ladder as a shoe rack idea! I need this!!!! Great post :)
So glad that you found something inspiring!
I thought that I recognized Nina’s design! I have seen them in a bathroom, too. Cool ideas here!
Nina’s desing is so pretty, isn’t it?:) I love almost everything she shares in her blog!
I agree. She’s so talented!
nice post and great pictures!
thank you! :)
This is a brilliant post – I love the idea of using ladders in a kitchen. I can imagine they’d look amazing with a couple of Anthropologie towels hanging on them.
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog recently – great to have discovered yours.
