We all love boxes. No one knows why, but it seems we all love to hoard boxes and use them for different things. A testament to this sentiment is the array of boxes that you will find in your own house. To be honest, there is some practicality behind using boxed too. They bring order into our lives by allowing us to separate different things and efficiently organize them.
However, boxes can hold only so much inside them. Thus, humans started using a different grade of boxes called multipurpose boxes (กล่องอเนกประสงค์, which is a term in Thai) These boxes are more versatile than your average box that can be used for one or two things. These boxes can be used for a variety of purposes and thus the name, ‘Multipurpose’.
How do they achieve this?
A very good question would be, how does a multipurpose box achieve this feat? The answer is quite simple; It is designed this way. While some boxes are specifically designed to have compartments to store different kinds of things efficiently, some boxes are so huge that there is room for any kind of work that you might want to conduct.
When to buy one?
You might be tempted by the sheer range of usage that multipurpose boxes offer and decide to buy one. But be careful, unless you need one, there is no reason to buy one. It is good to have one or two lying around the house so that if the need suddenly arises, you’ll be all ready prepared. Other than that, go buy one only when you think that the boxes you already own cannot serve you in our latest endeavor.
Creative Ways Of Use:
-
Storage:
Storage is probably the most common use of these boxes. Now, this is not your typical throw in everything kind of storage. This is a more organized style of storage. You can search through amazon and find several boxes that offer sections in which you can store different kinds of things. These storage units almost resemble cupboards but believe me, they are just boxed.
-
Home Garden:
You can create a home garden by emptying a large multipurpose box and dumping some soil into it. Don’t forget to put holes in the box so that air and water can leak out naturally.
-
Pets:
Pets love boxes and these offer ample room for them to play in.
If you are going to buy boxes, never forget to look into the multipurpose section first.
