You’ve probably heard the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” But what if we told you that your old junk car could become a conversation-starting coffee table or a vintage-style lamp? At Cashing Carz, we’ve seen more than just junk—we’ve seen creativity. That’s right: Car Home Decor is no longer just a Pinterest fad. It’s a real, growing trend turning car parts into furniture and DIY masterpieces.
So if you’ve got a junk car sitting around or a few random parts collecting dust, don’t scrap the style—repurpose it.
Why Car Parts Make Great Home Décor
Most car parts are made from durable metals, unique textures, and bold shapes. They're industrial, strong, and full of character. So when you turn car parts into furniture or home accents, you're not just recycling—you're designing with soul.
Old gears, steering wheels, mufflers, and even hoods can become standout features in your living room, garage lounge, or man cave.
1. Car Parts into Furniture: The Ultimate Upcycle
Let’s start with the big one. Turning car parts into furniture has become a go-to move for car enthusiasts and upcyclers alike.
- Engine Block Coffee Tables: A cleaned-up engine block with a glass top makes for a stunning centerpiece.
- Car Seat Couches: Got a pair of leather bucket seats? Turn them into a one-of-a-kind sofa.
- Tailgate Benches: Old truck tailgates can become rustic outdoor seating or quirky hallway benches.
With a little polish and creativity, what once drove down the highway becomes a showstopper in your home.
2. Car DIY Decor: Small Projects, Big Personality
You don’t need a garage full of tools or a design degree to dabble in car DIY decor. Even the smallest parts can add major personality to your space.
- License Plate Wall Art: Collect plates from different states or eras and hang them as a statement piece.
- Steering Wheel Mirrors: Attach a round mirror to a vintage steering wheel—boom, instant retro wall art.
- Gear Shift Lamp: Pair a stick shift with a lamp kit and you’ve got mood lighting with a story behind it.
These are perfect weekend projects that add that gritty, nostalgic touch without taking over the whole room.
3. Vintage Auto Decor: For the Love of Classic Cars
For those who appreciate the golden days of muscle cars and chrome trim, vintage auto decor is more than a style—it’s a lifestyle.
- Retro Dashboards as Wall Mounts: Mount a dashboard with working lights and dials for an interactive wall piece.
- Chrome Hubcaps as Wall Accents: Shiny hubcaps make for unique wall decor, especially in garages or man caves.
- Exhaust Pipe Wine Racks: Yes, someone’s done this—and it’s just as cool as it sounds.
Whether you're into 1950s Cadillacs or 1980s Trans Ams, your love for cars can live on in your home in unexpected ways.
