You can re-purpose old wooden ladders in a variety of ways in your home:
Use a long ladder as a beam
If it’s the right length, a ladder hung as a beam accent beneath the ceiling is effective.

Shelving
Put a step ladder in the corner of a room. Add planks spanning the steps to create a shelving system.
Basket storage
Lean your ladder against a wall. Hang wire baskets of increasing sizes from the top rung to the bottom for storage space.
Lighting
Suspend a vintage ladder from the ceiling over your dining area. Hang industrial lighting pieces from the ladder for a striking effect.

Gallery
Mount a ladder against the wall. In the spaces between the rungs, hang family photographs. It creates a unifying effect.

Library use
If you attach castors to a ladder, it can be wheeled into position so that you can access books on high shelves.
Indoor plants
A step ladder placed in a strategic spot is the ideal way to showcase your indoor plants.
Hanging space
Lean a ladder against the wall and use each rung to hang towels or dish towels.
