Do you remember when you were little and you would happen to come upon a mysterious staircase or a ladder…didn’t you want to climb it? Ladders are so fun and I think you hardly need any excuse to have one in your modern space. A ladder is the sort of thing you can have just because.

If it must serve a purpose, there are many, many uses for a ladder. Shelving, storing, stepping, reaching, hanging. Check out this option of hanging a ladder to hang pots. There are some fun ladders at IKEA. But I think the best kind is that old, rustic ladder you might happen to find somewhere during a country weekend getaway. Spring is here so get travelin’!
