It might seem as an odd idea but in fact, it has been a while since pallets are one of the hottest trends in interior design and decoration. Recycled wood pallets can be great and versatile material for making furniture, decor accessories, wall decorations, lighthing fixtures or any other extraordinary objects. Even staircases and houses can be built by using pallets.
Used pallets once were percieved as waste, now they are seen as opportunities to recycle them and create a huge diversity of useful items out of them. They are quite easy to find, still cheep but can be turned into unique and striking masterpieces with good intention and creative design. For sure, they are not the highest quality of wood you will ever find, but why not give them a new life if you fancy rustic, natural or vintage look, like to have something special and personalized and/or are environmental conscious? However, you will need to think of what these items will be used for and where they will be placed. If you want to use pallets for the outside, be sure to treat the wood first to protect it from the elements.
