Build your own furniture and customize it to your liking. Doing it also using recycled materials and at a very low cost, is a more than tempting idea. For this reason, more and more people are joining the trend of making furniture with pallets.
Pallets is a material easy to find and very cheap with which we can make a myriad of different furniture pallets.
To make a cabinet with pallet and it really fits well is necessary preliminary work such as sanding and varnishing, for this forms a good finish.
Today we bring you 10 ideas of furniture with pallets that you can make yourself:
Side table with pallet.
The tables made with pallets were perhaps the pioneers in this new decorative trend. They are really easy to make although there are many possible variations when it comes to building them.
To make a simple low table you will only need 1 pallet and 4 wheels for the legs. You must sand the wood properly and apply a coat of varnish or paint.
Bed reusing pallets.
Another of the most popular pallet furniture is the beds. If they started out as a cheap resource for students they have now been raised to a new decorative level.
Making a bed frame with pallets is simple. You will need 2 pallets for a single bed and 4 pallets for a double bed.
Recycled headboard.
Although your bed is not made of pallets you can add a headboard made with this material, in fact it has become a decorative object of the most in.
It is one of the easiest pallet furniture to make, although as we have said before there are many different designs. Some simpler than others.
Bottle rack.
I like furniture with practical pallets and this one is, it is also very decorative. In addition to supporting the bottles, it has slots to hang the glasses.
Shoe rack with recycled pallets.
Another of the most practical pallet furniture is this shoe rack. You can use it simply by sanding and varnishing the pallet, resting it on a wall. The shoes are inserted between the separation of the boards. If you want to do something more sophisticated you can make a bench with pallets where, in addition to storing your shoes, you can sit down to take off your shoes. Ideal for large hallways.
TV table.
With a technique very similar to that of the low table, you can make a piece of furniture with pallets for television.
In this version, on the other hand, being narrower, you can split the pallets in half for their construction, so you will need fewer pallets.
Sofa reusing pallets.
This type of sofa is perfect for outdoor use, in fact it is widely used as a garden furniture.
You will need several pallets to do it although it depends on the size of sofa you need. The easiest to do is the chill-out type bench, which does not require a backrest.
Planter.
Pallet planters greatly adorn a patio or terrace. You can varnish or paint it, white is very beautiful.
Building it is very simple, you will only need a pallet that we will divide into 3 parts, and then join the different pieces with nails or wood glue.
Coat rack.
There are many variants of pallet racks. The simplest is to cut the pallet directly to the size you want and screw on the hangers that you can find in any bazaar or hardware store. There are those who hang the entire pallet on the wall and there are those who disassemble it and put the boards together.
Shelving.
In the same way that we made the bottle rack, you can get some nice shelves, although the same pallet hides a ready-made shelf inside. We will only have to gin the boards on one side of the pallet and we will have a 3-shelf shelf ready to hang.
As you may have observed, there are thousands of possibilities when it comes to making furniture with pallets, you will only need some time, a few pallets and a lot of desire to create your own furniture. You dare?
