I’m sure you have seen lots of ideas of how to turn used pallets – a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift – into amazing things with some skill and inspiration. If not, here is a short collection of ideas about what to do with the pallets you might have around your house.
1. A Pallet Bed
The standard EURO pallet is 800 millimeters wide and 1.2 meters long. Four of them arranged in a square (for a surface of 1.6 meters by 2.4 meters) have a size almost equal to a King size mattress (1.52 meters by 2.03 meters), making it the perfect choice for a bed. With some skill and inspiration you can turn your pallets into a comfortable bed, maybe even with some extra storage space underneath. Look for instructions and inspiration here.
2. A Coffee Table
You need one pallet, one sheet of glass equal to the dimensions of the pallet and four legs, or even three pallets put on top of each other to create a stylish and unique coffee table. You can paint the pallets in the same color – to match your furniture or your carpet – or different colors as you like.
3. Garden Furniture
Pallets can be used as they are, or be disassembled and used up as raw material for a great variety of garden furniture. You can use them to make rope swings, tables and benches, tool racks, even sheds, tree houses or whatever you might imagine. With the creative use of paint, nails and some coverings you can create cozy, comfortable seats, practical tool holders, storage boxes or planters – all with the use of these ugly old pieces of wood.
4. In the Kitchen
Pallets make great kitchen tables, or can easily be re-purposed as a kitchen island, a shelf, hell, even wall coverings, or whatever you like. You can use some paint and a hand saw to turn your pallets into a stylish wall mounted wine rack, a kitchen shelf, table and stools. Look for ideas and inspiration here.
At the end of the day, when you sit back on your pallet garden chair, put your legs on your pallet stool and grab a beer from your pallet table, you can enjoy seeing that your work was not in vain – it has created added value to the usually discarded pallets, making your life more beautiful.
