Ideas for using wood in decoration

1. Convenient rustic wooden shelf

Just half an old pallet can provide extra storage space. This simple and unique design also helps create a focal point. You only need one pallet to mount on the kitchen wall or headboard. If you need more space, use a larger pallet.

To make the shelf more impressive and aesthetic, treat the wood surface. If you want to use a "natural" texture, just plank/sand the wood surface. Or you can paint to match the style of each decorative space. Which method you choose is not important. The most important thing is that the product is as desired at a low cost and takes advantage of available surplus wood.

2. Multi-function sofa bed

This is a multi-functional piece of furniture that can be used flexibly for different purposes. In fact, it is considered a “roll-up bed”. At night, it can be used as a bed, during the day it can be used as a sofa to read books, entertain friends or play with pets to relieve stress.

Double layer the pallets for extra strength. Use small pieces of scrap wood to join the pallets together. If you are the type of person who moves things around a lot, add wheels.

With recycled pallet wood, you can cleverly transform it into beautiful and unique lampshades like in this example. Pallet lamps are extremely suitable for small home spaces, creating a feeling of closeness and warmth.

With wooden pallet lampshades, you can be more creative by painting them in eye-catching colors that match your home space. Reference size:

Small light: 170mm x 200mm (Width x Height)

Large lamp: 170mm x 300mm (Width x Height)

4. Multi-purpose wooden tray on the dining table

Pallet wood trays are really versatile items because they can be used in so many ways. You can make one yourself from leftover wood and use it as a cutlery tray or a flower tray to put in the center of the dining table.

5. Decorative items

If you are looking for a way to beautify your home, try making wooden stars. You can hang them on the wall, ceiling or turn them into Christmas tree decorations. You can also make wooden arrowheads for decoration. You just need to use scrap pallet wood to cut all the individual pieces with a saw. Then glue them together with special wood glue. Any decorative pattern will make the design more special.

This is a small item you can make for your kitchen or dining area. You can make them from scrap wood pallets from previous projects. Leaving the original wood is enough to have a beautiful and impressive decoration.

7. Bathroom shelves

One of the easiest things to make from leftover wood is a bathtub bar. This simple piece of wood has a cute rope handle. Use it to hold your bath items and make your bath time more enjoyable. You can bring a book or a glass of wine, a candle to enjoy while you relax in the tub. It is a small item but it will help create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere.

8. Impressive wooden wall for living room

This idea only requires about 4 pallets put together very simply. This is an ideal project for beginners or those who do not want to spend much time.

Once you have all the materials, clean the old wooden pallets thoroughly. Then remove any excess or potentially dangerous parts. Use a hand drill to make holes and attach the old wooden pallets to the wall with metal nails/hangers. The best thing about this design is that it stimulates other decorating ideas.

If you often work from home, use your passion as a highlight. This idea can be completely flexible. To create "quality" you don't need to choose old pallets that are too perfect.

Choose the most beautiful and sturdy pallets for the main or frequently seen location. Warped or weathered pallets should be placed high up or around.

10. Outdoor sofa

Making a garden sofa from pallet wood is a great way to create a beautiful space to rest. This source of material is very cheap, can be painted in any color you like and is easy to renew. Moreover, this material is very durable against the unpredictable changes of the weather.

You can also place this sofa set anywhere in the garden. When crafted, they have integrated wheels for more convenient movement. There is available storage space under the table top.
