Here are some of the absolute best pallet furniture ideas for home decoration. These creative DIY projects feature wooden pallets in different sizes. Some of these projects are ideal for beginners while others require more technical expertise. The point is to have fun and let your creativity flourish. One of the great things about pallets of wood is that you can usually find them lying around behind a supermarket or distribution warehouse. Some companies recycle them while others simply throw them away. Some of the projects in this collection are constructed from reclaimed wood while others are obviously brand new and have never been used in any other application.

50 DIY Wood Pallet Furniture Projects Made Easy

The best way to approach these pallet ideas is to be patient in the early stages. Gather the pallets you think you’ll need. Is your project going to be an indoor or outdoor installation? Are you going for an industrial or rustic look? How many pallets do you think you’ll need? Pallets might look simple, but they are not all created equal. Some have subtle variations that can throw your design off if you’re not careful. Separate the pallets that you want to use in their entirety from the pallets that you will pull individual pieces from.

Custom wooden furniture can be expensive if you buy them ready-made at auction or from a gallery. So why not try your hand at it with materials that are readily available? You don’t have to spend much money on accent pieces to match the wood and you can even pull pieces from other furniture items. Wood pallets are primarily meant for storage and shipping, so they can take a beating. That’s great news for you because you want them to last for a long time. So start picking up some pallets and let these pallet ideas inspire you.

Just be sure not use any rotted wood pieces because any damage to the frame might go unnoticed for quite some time. Any leftover wooden planks can be converted into a headboard.

Give your home office some true character with this pallet furniture idea. It’s got loads of personality. With this work desk decor, you don’t need the most perfect pallets you can find. You’re going to want some distressed pieces to give the overall effect of crates that just washed ashore on a remote tropical island. Be careful though. The main support crates should be the sturdiest pieces in the bunch, but you can use slightly warped or discolored pieces for the table top and higher shelves.

A nook table is a great way to fill an odd space in your home, especially if it’s between your kitchen and your dining area. This creative nook table design features a wooden plank top.

8. Reclaimed Wood Wall Clock

Reclaimed Wood Wall Clock

This is a more complex DIY pallet project that requires some time…pun intended. You can buy a clock-making kit online and at some hardware stores. First, focus on procuring different size pallets.

Next, clean and sand the wood to give it a smooth finish. Paint the numbers and notches for the dial and then integrate the clock with your clock-making kit. This design idea is a bit labor-intensive, but you’ll certainly be proud of the finished product.

They’re made out of the same material. They’re simple to create and really allow you to let your creativity flourish. This isn’t a very technical build, so don’t focus too much on getting everything just right.

You can also start with the glass top and cut the pallets to fit. That’s if you know your way around a skill saw.

13. Feng Shui Garden Wall

Feng Shui Garden Wall

The concept of feng shui is all about harmony and balance. That’s exactly what’s happening in this image. The pallets of the back splash draw your attention away for just a moment, just long enough to notice the green sprigs of color from this small, manageable garden. How do you get a pallet of wood to unfurl like that? Well, you’re going to have to deconstruct it.

Then, planks from a pallets are nailed in place over the top of it.

14. Wooden Kitchen Bench with Matching Back Splash

Wooden Kitchen Bench with Matching Back Splash

This kitchen decor project is super busy. There’s a lot to unpack here. First, there’s a wealth of pallets here. Some planks are going in different directions so each section was made separately.

It all flows down to a kitchen bench with matching table and chairs. Although everything flows together, the image is a bit too much on the eyes. For your project, you might want to break up the backsplash into several different pieces so it doesn’t just all run together.

Here’s a simple project for a single wood pallet. This is a great starter build that won’t take too much time or expertise. The most important part of this build is finding the best wood pallet.

The last thing you want is your mugs crashing to the floor.

16. Sturdy Sofa Sectional

Sturdy Sofa Sectional

This DIY pallet design is a great way to avoid spending loads of money on a spare living room or a section of your home that needs filler. The wood pallets can be stacked to any height you desire, but two rows is a pretty good level. Take your time to find the best pieces you can because you might not be able to easily repair them once you get everything installed. You don’t have to fasten them together since they’re wedged against the wall. However, you can use small wooden blocks between crates to add some stability.

17. Wood Pallet Garden Starter

Wood Pallet Garden Starter

Pallet garden furniture is an amazing way to save money and fill up your exterior space with color and texture. This garden starter project is fun and simple to make. It features a single pallet that has been carved in places to add character. You will need to fill in the bottoms of the shelves with planks from a separate pallet. Luckily those planks don’t have to be super clean. You’re going to need to drill small holes into the planks for drainage and they’ll be rarely seen. Although it’s not necessary, you might want to consider treating the wood so that it lasts longer. Finally, add a fresh coat of colorful paint.

18. Wood Pallet Washroom Basins

Wood Pallet Washroom Basins

This wash room basin station is unique and minimalist in design. At first glance, this might look like a simple project idea.

Be sure to use the best pallets you can find and treat the wood with a water-resistant stain. The spaces between the planks are ideal for storing towels and washing supplies.

Here’s a pallet furniture idea that can really transform a corner into a far-off magical land. It’s a cozy swing chair that’s made with rope and about a quarter length of a single pallet. Lots of design ideas look great on paper, but fall short in the execution. This is one where you need to be careful. You want to make sure to use load-bearing ceiling hooks and distribute the weight-load across all four ropes. This isn’t an outdoor swing set; it’s more of a decorative piece. Some designers just use them for dolls, but with the right application it can be suitable for a single person.

20. Small Circular Deck Table

Lastly, a small pallet is used for a wall-hanging in the background.

21. Industrial Coffee Table and Chairs

Industrial Coffee Table and Chairs

Here’s a pallet furniture design that is centralized around a theme. Ideally, you’d have other accent pieces around the room to reinforce it. This is a moderate level build that will require new or very gently used shipping pallets. You won’t find these near the warehouse dumpster on a Saturday. The bases are metal cylinders that can be attached with screws for easy breakdown and transport. The cushions can be handmade from a number of different fabric choices such as rucksack cloth, nylon or a cotton blend. Wood glue might be enough to firmly attach the different pieces, but you should use wood screws to be on the safe side.

22. Spice Rack and Coffee Currio

Spice Rack and Coffee Currio

You can find pallet ideas from just about anywhere. This corner spice rack and coffee currio might have sprang from the pages of a southeast Asian travel magazine. It’s a moderate to high level build but it can work wonders for your home decor. Let’s start with the wall hangings. A single pallet could be enough to make both sides, but with this project you should strip about four pallets down to single plank pieces and build up from scratch. The same goes for the curio cubby. This isn’t a light pallet. It’s made from heavy duty shipping pallets with the cabinet faces coming out of the lighter variety. You can leave the wood untreated if you select some really nicely preserved pieces.

They form the foundations of the decor and they’re not the featured pieces. Placing them beneath a corner sectional is absolutely brilliant. You can stack them to adjust the height if you like. Ideally, the sofas should sit slightly higher than the coffee table, but it’s not a rule that can’t be bent or broken.

28. Photo Printed Wall Art on Wood

Photo Printed Wall Art on Wood

Photos printed on wood are very trendy in home design. It’s a great way to add texture and imagery to an otherwise static space.

They’re easy to install with just hammer and nails, but you might have to saw them to the desired length. For added effect, try using a stain on the wood instead of paint. This way, you’ll keep the natural look of the wood and match the color of your bottles.
