Pallet Ideas!

The trend of the moment is recycling! So far nothing new...

But if looking for good ideas, there is a pallet of solutions, literally! The versatility and the applications seem endless: bookcases, headboards, beds, tables and chairs for home or garden, painted or natural, suitable for different ambient styles, from rustic to minimal.

And it is not even essential for the starting material to be in perfect condition, the merit is in the design: creativity and proper execution.

#1 Living Room

Did you imagine that abandoned pallets could transform into so many practical pieces? From tables, modular sofas to lounge chairs, anything seems to be possible with wooden pallets.

#2 Kitchen

You can also recycle pallets turning them into useful furniture and accessories for the kitchen. You can expose your collection of plates, make a kitchen island or a dining table recycling old pallets, by creating vintage-looking pieces, for a very low cost!

#3 Bedroom

And how about a bed made out of pallets? From the platform to the headboard, you can choose to assume their original appearance, apply a varnish finishing or paint them in your favorite color.

#4 Balcony or Garden

Create a vertical garden on your balcony. Line the inside of the pallet with plastic screen and fill it with topsoil. Grow your favorite flowers or herbs in the openings and tops, making sure that the soil is well compacted before placing the pallet upright against a wall. [image via drawingsunderthatable]
