Having an outdoor space where you can relax, have a drink alone or in company, rest, go to the beach, a small urban terrace or any outdoor space, you need to make the most of it. Don’t you think it’s a real luxury? Even if there are people who don’t know how to make the most of that area, I don’t know how lucky they are to have those square meters of terrace or garden, to have that land around their house. And ultimately it ends up becoming a soulless, neglected area that brings no benefit.
The fact is that it is not always too economical to arrange our garden or terrace to our liking. This is why today we decided to try to give you a hand with a more fashionable type of furniture than ever. And what’s better… What you can do yourself! This is furniture made from wooden pallets, which can be used in a way you can’t even imagine.
In this book of ideas we will show you various furnishing elements, various uses that you can give to simple pallets until turning them into designer furniture that you will love. Now you really have no more excuses to tidy up your garden or terrace, because with them you can do almost anything.
Complete living room set
Vinyl flooring, an easy way to redecorate your bathroom

In this photo we find a room complete with pallets. An example of good taste and the dimensions that furniture made with this material can reach. And don’t limit yourself to simple sofas and tables with a few stacked pallets: you can make a complete living room as beautiful as this one, although if you want to do it yourself, this will require more work.
In the center we see a table where it was decided to keep the wood in its natural shade, simply varnishing it and polishing any chips. The two sofas have been combined with soft armchairs in a purple shade that adds vitality. Otherwise, this symmetrical living room seems to us to be one of the best options for a garden: functional, comfortable, attractive and economical. What more can you ask for?
Sofa

One of the pallet furniture options we usually see is the sofa, but we assure you that seeing one as simple and beautiful as this one, we will never have enough of it. It is a pallet in which the wood has been painted white, but not completely, but leaving the parts 100% uncovered to obtain that rustic effect of the slightly more worn wood. In this case, we decided to contrast that white with a pearl gray mattress base that looks perfect if we decide to add pillows again in the same tone of the palette. But if you want to give this area a little more vitality and energy, we recommend combining the white base with brighter colors such as blue or red. In this image we obviously find a style of sofa which, given the decorative additions (such as the blanket or the strip of pastel lights), has a naive appearance that we are passionate about. A very comfortable corner.

Table with wheels

If there’s anything useful that can be made from a pallet, it’s a table. Even more so if we decide to add simple wheels to move and position it as you prefer. All you need are a few pallets placed on top of each other in the direction you see in the image, add a wheel at each end… and voilà! You can also opt for a fixed table without wheels, as we will see in the following example. In this case the pallets present in some parts something similar to what could be a stamp, a factory imprint, a detail that highlights the rustic-industrial style that this type of furniture offers to the area in which we decide to place it. Naturally you can opt, as in the photo, to add a glass in the upper area, because the pallets are open and it is inconvenient to leave plates and glasses on this irregular surface. What do you think of the idea?
Counter for the outdoor bar
We are sure that you will rarely have seen a piece of furniture made from wooden pallets as original and functional as this one. And it is that we must get away from the cliché according to which pallets or simple wooden planks are only used to make chairs, armchairs and tables. There is a whole world beyond these three fundamental (and essential, after all). We show you the simplicity and originality of this outdoor bar top made exclusively with pallets, with natural wooden planks aligned vertically. A sincere way to get an area outside of which there will be a lot of play in the spring and summer months. It is perfect if you place it next to a swimming pool, or in a lawn area… and if you also add some rods in the lower area like in this example we show you, you will get a beach look that is the greatest.

Use as a small decorative ladder

Another excellent (and very functional) option is to use wooden pallets to create something practical like a small ladder or a decorative shelf stacked on top of each other, as in this proposal from EcoDeco Furniture. In the example we see in the photo, it could not serve as a ladder due to the instability offered by the wheels, but if you imagine the same piece of furniture without them, you will have a wonderful ladder (with multiple steps). you want to add) to reach the tallest plants on your terrace or the most inaccessible areas. In the meantime? You can use it as a decorative space as in the photo. We love this idea!
Natural shelves

This is a great option for using up those boxes full of pallets, typical of fruit and more. If you place them as you see in the photo, one on top of the other in a strategic way (obviously joining them with glue or any adhesive element you consider so that they don’t fall apart), you can have a sort of rustic-looking outdoor shelf that will be the center of all eyes. You can place plants, books, watering cans, bottles, decorative elements of all types and conditions… anything you can think of! The key is to give it a second chance, because you can achieve great things without spending a single euro.
The advantages of pallet furniture

We are immersed in a period of economic crisis in which not everyone can afford to buy furniture for their small terrace or garden. And this is one of the main advantages of pallet furniture: that, with a low budget and no DIY or carpentry knowledge, you can make beautiful and colorful furniture like the ones we’ve seen on this list. You can follow one of the many tutorials on the Internet to create something so cool.
There is also versatile furniture that adapts to any context or type of decoration: an urban terrace, a garden in the mountains, in the courtyard of a small house on the coast… They can be adapted, painted, varnished and modeled. to other furniture that is not a pallet, as in this photo. Can you think of any other benefits?
Disadvantages of furniture on pallets

There are not many disadvantages that we can say about this furniture, because we sincerely like them and think that it is a very useful and beautiful alternative, which is also booming. Of course, if you want a 100% comfortable type of furniture that fits you and your body… forget the pallets or add some great pillows. Even so, you already know that it is not entirely comfortable to sit on a hard surface. But above all, the disadvantage we find is that if we leave the natural wood of the pallet, it will end up being ruined by the rain, ruining it if we don’t polish and paint it with a certain regularity, ruining its quality.
