LR-Pallets

Pallet furniture is all the rage right now, and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s the perfect way to add your own personal touch to your home by creating something that’s uniquely yours – that can’t be found in the furniture store down the road! Upcycling pallets, and turning them into DIY furniture is even simpler than you’d think. And, the best part about it? It’s not a heavy blow on your wallet. I’m going to share my favourite Pallet DIYs with you – hopefully it’ll inspire those creative juices to start flowing!

DIY-Coffee-Table

These coffee tables are the quintessential addition to any living area. They’re so simple, yet so quaint. They’re also fairly easy to make. It’s just a matter of sanding down some pallets, throwing some paint on them and attaching wheels. You can customise the colour and style to suit your living space.

Rustic, but gorgeous; these shelves are something that could work in anybody’s home. They’re the ideal place for those old photographs you couldn’t find a spot for, or those books that just can’t find a home.

 

DIY-Bed

Beds have never been the most exciting feature of the bedroom, but, with pallets, they could be! Sand them down, paint them to suit your colour scheme, throw your bed on them, and voilà! You have a bed platform that adds charm and character to any bedroom.

A pallet dining table is guaranteed to be the main attraction at your next dinner party. From rustic to minimalistic, a pallet dining room table can work for anybody. Probably the most satisfying bit about this dining table would be being able to boast to those gushing friends and family that you built that gorgeous table with your own two hands!
