We can already taste around the smell of summer, longer, warmer, brighter days!
With the heat also comes the desire to go out and move to the garden, walk, air, lots of air, take all the air we can take, or even just stay at home or chase the most appetizing shade and read that book that is on the waiting list since work began to tighten up. It comes the thirst for leisure, entertainment, conviviality, of freshen and refresh the environment around us. Who says refresh says also renew and this is just where the pallets enter the picture (with a singular focus!) with its versatility and endless applications in the shape of good ideas.
It's no surprise that you can build almost anything with wooden pallets, whether indoors or to enter (escape) the garden, the options are extensive range, sustainable, eco-friendly and above all with the stamp of creativity and originality.
From more elaborate ideas to others which can be made in three stages, rustic applications to other minimalist, painted or natural, create with pallets is one of the universally favorites "do it yourself” for its versatility and it's no secret that is as practical as showy. Here are some ideas that will be like a breath of fresh air.
Swing bed
If by chance the pallet is slightly larger than the mattress that we intend to use, why not make a lovely swing bed for our courtyard or garden? With a string and a hook to suspend the bed, just add some cushions, a blanket and voilà. Here is a cozy little space where to take our book!

If space is not much one can opt for a simple swing that will allows us to sit back and enjoy the pleasant warmth of a late summer afternoon.

Bike rack
Riding a bike is a taste, where to keep it a problem? No longer! Whether it comes from the need to find a little space in a small apartment, whether it's to get a little space for the bicycles of the whole family in a already crowded garage of things, pallets emerge as a very creative alternative.

Outdoor furniture
You’ve probably already notice that pallets work beautifully on the outside and can be transformed into any type of the most useful furniture. Another great example is the endless choices of sofas and seats that can be obtained with the wooden pallets and the simple addition of some delightfully comfortable cushions.

And to complete the lounge are lacking the tables, a bank or two and why not a chair also?

Support for plants
Just paint the pallet with a color of choice, if you want to, place it vertically as wherever you’d like and so is born... a garden within a garden! Who says garden, also says patio or balcony, here's the perfect solution to bring the green, nature, to our space.

Bed
Indoors history repeats itself! When it comes to furniture, the harder thing it is to choose. Depending on the mattress size, to make the platform bed is needed between 4 to 8 pallets, we simply join them, create two levels and thus arises a high basis for our bed. Again, color is up to the personal taste of each.

Shelf
For a pallet to function as a shelf, just find a space on the wall where to put it. Moreover, it is to choose between a thousand things which put there.

Benches and chairs
Put up two or three pallets on top of each other, a comfortable mattress or pad on top, join everything with an elastic fabric or even reusing belts and behold another fun way to make a bench.

Again, playing with the positions of the pallets, turning them, inverting them, painting them, exchanging, reusing, replacing cushions, new types of chairs and benches will be reinvented.

Storage place
When it comes to kitchen storage, saving space with pallets is also possible, it takes only a few brackets and hooks to hold them to the ceiling and the pots and pans will get a new home.

Sofa
It is not only in the garden that a comfortable sofa made of pallets works, indoors with the right choice of pillows it can also works perfectly without going to the mismatch of the rest of the house. It is the ideal choice for, say, a vacation home - the taste of summer will echo throughout the room.
