It’s amazing how many different pieces of furniture and homeware can be made from or inspired by old wooden pallets.
If DIY’s not your forte, don’t panic! Here are four creative pieces that have been handcrafted for you, so all you have to do is buy them and enjoy putting them to use in your home.
1. Pop this pallet coffee table in pride of place in your living room. The inner storage area is an added bonus and ideal for storing magazines and boxes. The addition of the hairpin industrial style legs adds an elegant finish. £315 from Gas & Air Studios.
2. Hang up this small pink pallet light shade – yes, this really is made from recycled pallets. Choose from five different shade colours and a range of different coloured elastic. £39.99 from Factory Twenty One on Clippings.
3. Sit comfortably on a folding pallet chair with a bright splash of colour (we like the turquoise, but you can choose your own colour) – perfect for using inside or out. £220 from Gas & Air Studios.
4. Get organised at home with a pallet noticeboard. It’s got four rustic clips, so you can easily clip up reminders. £35 from Rose & Grey

Me to…although I don’t always have time for all the projects I’d like to do, so it’s rather good when someone else has done it for you!

I love that pink lampshade!
Rachel Newcombe says
Me too, it’s lovely, isn’t it? I can’t believe it’s made from pallets though.

It is amazing how many uses pallets have, I reviewed a book this week about upcycling, which had a great tutorial for a book shelf.
Rachel Newcombe says
That sounds interesting, I will have to look out for it.

I love using pallets!! I used one a few weeks again to make an outdoor live table for my garden. I’m always randomly asking builders if I can steal a pallet 🙂

Pallets are wonderfully versatile! I’ve had a go at some pallet art in the past which is cheap, fun and easy to do. Love the coffee table & noticeboard!
