There is nothing better than wood to give a rustic touch to furnishings, especially if it is a little rough and untreated. As a result, a perfect resource for giving life to rustic-style furnishings are pallets, whose wood lends itself ideally to being used in a myriad of different ways. And pallet wood can easily be "painted" with various impregnating agents to imitate your favorite look.

In the bathroom, for example, with the wood obtained from the pallets you can build proper furniture, starting from the sink. But there are also many useful furnishing accessories such as shelves and storage units that can be made from this wood. And there is no shortage of ideas for using the planks from pallets for decorative purposes. Take a look at the images below for inspiration:

They are ideal for creating basket-like shelves to be mounted on a wall near a mirror: they can hold everything that usually crowds the sink!

And for this purpose, and for those who love a more minimalist look, even one long shelf at the base of the mirror may suffice.

Pallet cabinets are also convenient for storing towels and other items used every day.

With pallet wood, for example, you can also create units used for laundry and which are often placed in the bathroom.

One of the most common designs is a towel rack with a shelf mounted above it.

And why not some shelves with raised edges to keep the various devices you use for your beauty routines to hand (for the hair dryer, for example)?

Additionally, the wooden planks can become a panel on which to mount jars and storage baskets. These are all space-saving ideas that are easy to add later!

An entire corner dedicated to the bathroom: this too can be done using pallets.

If you want to decorate the wall behind the toilet, you could cover it with planks from a pallet.

Or you could equip the space behind the toilet with a customed bridging cabinet.
