1. Simple but original storage

If you don’t feel like having too much fun with the transformation of pallets, leave them in their raw state. Hanging on a kitchen wall, they can be used as shelves for your spices and condiments. They can be used as storage for your beauty products in the bathroom. Wooden pallets can also be placed at the entrance to store your keys or other small objects used in everyday life.

2. A rustic style bench seat

A cocooning atmosphere for your interior space or even for your terrace? Opt for wooden pallets to get a breathtaking result.

Then let them dry completely.

Layout 2 rows of 4 pallets each on the floor. Match them with the wood screws with a drill and screwdriver. Finally, make the back of your bench with the remaining 4 wooden pallets. You can decorate the furniture with ready-made cushions or use your creative talent by designing them yourself.
