The question isn’t what you can do with wooden pallets — it’s what can’t you do with wooden pallets?
Creative DIY-ers have found so many uses for it that we just had to share them. I mean, who else is going to give you ideas that will make you run out to your nearest hardware store? Yeah. Let’s get into it.
This is one budget-friendly wall garden.
This is an outdoor herb garden, and it is adorable . A wooden pallet is the ideal place to keep plants you need to access frequently, sure, but how cool would it look with some ivy in there? It would climb the pallet!
Some people use them as headboards…
Like Stylizimo! This headboard was stained with an ombré grey effect, which goes perfectly with the bright white and soft grey linens on the bed.
Staining your pallet is a great alternative to painting — it allows you to keep the wood texture that so many people love.
…and others as bed frames.
This is 100% the bedroom of Pinterest’s dreams. The fairy lights, the bedside cart, and the pallet? Yeah, this is the epitome of #BedroomGoals.
I feel like I would have painted the pallets white… but that’s me.
Wood wall? Wood wall.
@project_20__ on Instagram decided to do a whole of wooden pallets. How cool is that? Reclaimed wood is a huge trend, and wooden pallets are a super cheap way to get in on it.
Some people have turned them into outdoor furniture.
Now, whether you choose to make that furniture for you or your cat is totally up to you.
This clever crafter used the leftover pallet to make a coffee table. Recycling win.
This pallet became a coffee table.
And it was painted! @ourcottonfarmhouse tagged Annie Sloan paint in the photo, which means they used some high coverage white chalk paint to give the pallet a little somethin’. I dig it.
Need a table?
Then grab a wood pallet. And a carpenter. Or just pick up this wood pallet kid’s table from @ten01_design on Instagram.
This is kid-height and great for storing toys away.
This entryway organizer? All pallet.
How cool is this? @infiniteaabysshandmade is publishing an entire book about wood pallet projects you can do at home.
This entryway organizer is just one example. And you’d have no idea it used to be a pallet!
This person chose to make their into an art display!
Okay, genius much? This artist decided to disply their photography on some stacked wooden pallets. The best part? It’s easily disassembled to move to a new location. There’s no downside!
I would sit in this outdoor chair.
Well, if it had a cushion on it! This amazing chair has the same energy as a classic Adirondack chair, but it’s all totally reused wood. Sustainability is key to happiness.
Other people have decided to create makeshift projects with their pallets!
This is really helpful for a daycare or outdoor kid’s area! Keeping a reading shelf around is a great way to encourage kids to enjoy the outdoors, and it would get introverts like me actually into nature!
A clever builder made a unique tub surround out of one.
Why have a plain ‘ol tub, or a regular tub trim, when you can have a wood pallet tub trim?
This tub surround has a strong farmhouse influence, what with the matte black hardware.
This bar has crazy cool lighting.
I love that the builder just let the pallet speak for itself. They stacked them, then added in a lot of lighting to really show the new makeshift bar off.
This is a cool, functional feature wall.
This plant wall is the baby of @kikithegypsy , who made their wall out of a single pallet. This is a simpler version of the herb garden, and also allows you to add a little decoration to it!
