Having a piano at home probably brought you many fond memories of playing whenever you can with one of your parents or listening to your sibling bring life to the notes on the piano keys. But as with any other furniture at home, pianos tend to be worn down, even broken too. Does this mean that you will simply throw it away when the time comes? Well, if you are one of those people who can’t seem to part with their old stuff, why not transform your old piano into something else?
- Piano Bar. Just because your old piano is no longer working, it’s fit to be thrown away. With just a fresh coat of varnish to bring out the real wood color of the body of your piano, plus adding some racks for the wine bottles and glasses, plus converting the cover for the keys into a counter, you will have a piano bar to add to your home.
- Mini Office. Another amazing idea that you can do with your old piano is transforming it into your personal office. Open up the middle portion of your piano to install some lights, place your computer monitor in it and keyboard on top of the piano keys and you’re all set.
- Wall Shelf. Feeling more adventurous with repurposing your old piano? How about converting it into a wall shelf? Just remove the rest of the component of the piano and leave the body to hang on a vacant wall. Add some shelves in it and you will have more storage to keep your books and other home decors.
- Garden Planter. If your old piano is no longer fit for the indoors, why not take it outdoors and make it a nice centerpiece for your garden? Convert your old piano into a garden planter where you can use the inside as a home for blossoming plants to make it more interesting.

Just like in the case of wall shelves, you can add your own decorative pieces on your old piano such as your own art, vases, and the like to make it pop out. It’s a fun way to add depth to your space.
