The possibilities are endless. The first thing would be what you are wanting to use them for. Wood crates can be stained or painted to match your decor.
After you paint or stain the crates, add some decoration. Stencils, decals, decoupage, sponge or brush painting, a good sealer, and don't forget the inside. If you want, you can add 3D items like plastic corncobs, flowers, toys, rubber duckies, etc. all glued or stapled or tacked. Any room of the house could accommodate one or two. Best wishes😇!
You can also line them with quilt squares from a quilt that is beloved but too old to provide any warmth as bedding anymore .
i love to stack wooden crates and paint them to make bookcases. i have pained them a single color, but if they are crates from craft stores, the slats can be painted different colors or in patterns.
