Pallet furniture is an industrial chic DIY project that anyone can do over a weekend. Using the pallets as a starting point, you can create innumerable projects for the home. You can stack, stain, paint, and finish them any way you want. It’s a cheap alternative to buying new furniture with an added bonus of giving your home more character.

Wooden pallets are used around the world to ship and store the products we use every day. They’re found everywhere from supermarkets to construction sites.

1. Pallet bed

One of the most popular and handy pallet projects is to stack them underneath a mattress to make a bed! This is perfect for a guest room or for when you need a quick solution for a mattress on the floor! In this room, the pallet bed keeps its natural colour and finish. It fits with the effortless industrial vibe of the home.  

A pallet bed like this is made by placing pallets side by side, stacking to the desired height. Then use connecting plates to stick them together. Almost like lego for furniture and just as fun.

2. The pallet lounge
