Pallets are a useful, affordable and incredibly versatile resource for making stunning indoor or outdoor furniture and accessories. In fact, by reusing pallets in a creative way, we can create wonderful decorations for our garden, totally furnishing it for almost zero cost and respecting the environment too.

Pallets can easily be used to furnish the whole house, making furniture suitable for both indoors and outdoors. Using pallets, we can create wonderful relaxation areas, tables and benches for our outdoor lunches, but also barbecue corners, bar counters, work tables and decorative elements such as planters, partition walls and bicycle covers.

We suggest below 12 wonderful ideas for decorating your garden by creatively recycling pallets.

1. Picnic table

All you need is a few pallets and some quick and easy touch-ups to create a wonderful picnic table for your meals outdoors.
