These days, pallets are one of the most recycled materials / objects, par excellence. They are used more and more often by those involved in creative recycling projects. And the techniques used are so varied and numerous that you can really do almost anything with a pallet (or parts of it). Pallets are a resource that you do not have to pay for but can be obtained for free from those who have to dispose of them. And using them, it is possible to create exceptional furniture and furnishing accessories.

Here are some ideas we have collected to take advantage of using various parts of a pallet. You can create objects with a unique design, and which are very useful in everyday life (and are really beautiful to have at home). Lantern holders, bottle holders, shelves, bookcases - these are just some of the fantastic creations possible using a pallet. Take a look at some of the ideas listed below:

An ingenious proposal is creating bottle holders to hang on the wall or to be left resting on the floor. A small home wine cellar or a corner bar will really be admired by your guests.

The types of lantern holders that can be made from the upper part of a pallet are numerous. From small ones hanging on the wall to tall ones (like a floor lamp), from wood to painted ones, passing through carved or weathered ones. They are beautiful and furnish interiors, gardens, verandas and other settings wonderfully - ready for any kind of event.

A pallet toilet roll holder is just what you need in a bathroom fitting that aims to be useful but also very original.

A nice shoe rack, placed at the entrance of the house, could help you keep your shoes in order, while giving an extra touch of style to the environment.

On shelves made from the pallet you can place anything you like. Made like a pocket, these shelves are ideal for holding books, records, DVDs and much more.

If you want to create something truly unique, a coat rack with a built-in shelf is what you are looking for.

An equally useful and orginal bathroom fitting is a make-up shelf. You can even drill holes into the surface where you can insert the brush handles. Fit out your bathroom with a well-equipped and very beautiful make-up corner using pallet wood.

The lantern holders mentioned earlier can also take on the double function of lantern holders with plant pot holders - very useful for setting up a dream location in the garden for holding unforgettable events.

Returning to shelving, you can add drawers and mount them diagonally on the walls, (at different heights, even).

Finally, a simpler but visually pleasing idea is to make shelves from the pallet using the wooden cubes from the pallet (the dividing feet). These will be perfect for exhibiting individual objects, or collections of any kind.

In short, equip yourself with some pallets and get going creating your DIY wonders.
