This time I want to show you a very economical way to build our own furniture while creating a modern and current atmosphere in our house. Also, it is not always necessary to spend money to decorating our home, especially when we have to furnish our first house and we have too many expenses at once. With this post I want to give you some original and inexpensive ideas to create, for example, the base of a bed, an armchair or how to make a low table for armchairs.
The Big square caramels Used in factories and warehouses to transport materials and objects, they can be very useful when making our own furniture.
One of the simplest ideas to do with this type of elements is a low table for the living room or terrace. We will only have to sand and clean the surfaces of our pallet well and then apply a coat of paint or varnish, as we prefer. Once we have it, we put some small wheels in the lower corners and we put a glass in the upper area, and our table is ready. A good job of sanding and varnishing can make us not even know very well that this piece of furniture has previously been an industrial pallet.
We can also use it as a surface to place a mattress or a futon and create our own sofa for living room. Also this idea is perfect in gardens and terraces, where we can also combine it with the previous idea and match the perfect table to enjoy warm days outdoors.
In the same way, if we place a mattress on a surface of several pallets, we can manufacture our own slatted bed base very cheaply.
If you are also handymen and you are good at DIY, you can create almost any furnishing with this type of material, from dining tables, study tables or bedside tables to planters for plants or shelves.
