In everyday life we talk more and more about protecting our environment, recycling materials and reuse options—including us at homify, especially when the discussion includes topics such as decoration or furniture. It is incredible how many things we can build with simple Euro pallets, fruit crates or wooden boards, for example. This is not only environmentally friendly but also cheap. We have put together a large selection of ten ideas that might be suitable for your house. All you need is a little manual skills and a few tools. Roll up your sleeves: here we go.
Would you like to make sustainable and cool furniture yourself? Then you've come to the right place! What can you build from pallets? We've probably all seen them before, but the possibilities are still diverse and creative: build seating from pallets and boxes, a bench from pallets or a lounger from pallets! In this idea book, we'll show you what you can conjure up from a few no-longer-used pallets and boards and we're sure you'll be thrilled too. The pallet decoration is in and looks cool. Building furniture with pallets? This isn't as difficult as it looks either.
If we haven't had the opportunity to buy new garden furniture this summer, then we would now have another idea for the terrace: These pieces of furniture were very simply screwed together from different pallets and form an L-shaped bench. For a little more comfort, we recommend some nice seat cushions or blankets.
Here we have another option for a beautiful outdoor sofa but in different dimensions. Two pallets stacked on top of each other form the basis for a two-seater. To make it as practical as possible, four wheels can be screwed under a sofa. Add a few matching cushions and you have a very relaxed seating area for the garden. PS: Fruit or vegetable boxes that are turned upside down can serve as a side table. Complete!
Now that you have these double two-seater made out of pallets in your garden, read here how to spruce up your garden in no time at all.
Yes, you can create wondrous things with pallets. Here we see a living room table made with two small pallets stacked on top of each other. We can leave it natural or give it a strong colour with a coat of paint. That depends on the rest of our home design!
Do we want to give our kitchen or living room a rustic touch? Even then, the pallets come to us as if they were made for us. Let's simply hang a processed and glazed palette on the wall and decorate it with beautiful dishes, travel memories or photos. Everything is possible! Tip: First sand the palette with sandpaper and then paint it with a varnish. This gives the palette an elegant touch.
This is for those of us who constantly need to recover from the stress of everyday life. These loungers were also made from two Euro pallets and later painted. We can't decide which lounger we would like to lie down on first.
This is a great inspiration for the younger design of an apartment or loft, right? This means you no longer have to sit on the floor or seat cushions, but instead make yourself comfortable on such a sofa landscape. For a cool style, have black seat cushions sewn. In a pinch, mattresses covered with dark fitted sheets will also work.
No more coats, jackets and hats on the floor. Because we finally have a nice wardrobe idea that suits our tastes. Clutter is no longer necessary. What was done? The hobby craftsmen sawed off part of a Euro pallet and milled some round hooks from a cross connection. At least we find that very decorative.
Now let's come up with an idea to decorate your own garden, terrace or house entrance. In this example, several vegetable crates were pretreated, painted and then assembled. We think: This is a beautiful base that makes our summer flowers shine.
Here we see an idea that is a little more complex to design. But for the overzealous do-it-yourselfer, the previous ideas were no challenge. Such a swivel chair for the office or garden can be covered with elements from the pallets. To do this, browse the internet for instructions and then get started on this project.
A dining table made of Euro pallets? This is possible, at least with certain restrictions. The pallets can first be stacked on top of each other and then screwed together. To create legroom in at least certain parts of the table, some wooden planks can be removed from certain parts of the pallet. If that's too uncomfortable for you, you can make a bar table out of the pallets. So we have enough legroom.
