Pallets make a great budget-friendly home decor solution — stack them, cut them up and use just a section, add a little something, and then paint or stain, and you can have some really amazing home decorating for a very low price! Worried about using pallet projects in your decor? Use a pallet marked HT (for heat treated) — or you can flex your DIY muscle to build something similar from new wood.

This pallet daybed by Ashley Ann Photography is the perfect solution for a media room or guest room — and wouldn’t it be dreamy on an enclosed porch? The old door headboard is just icing on the cake. (See more ways to use old doors here.)
Another pallet bed, by Project Nursery, was a great modular bed solution and would also be great in a playroom that doubles as a guest room.
Got books? This pallet bookshelf by Me and Madeline is perfect for kids’ books or for a smaller display of books, such as sentimental books, coffee table books, or cookbooks.
PS: We built a pallet look-alike pocket bookshelf here, if you need a different size or would rather build from scratch.
Another take on the pallet bookshelf (by Design2Use via) uses the whole pallet to create a wall-mounted storage spot for your favorite novels.
If you’ve got a home for your books but want a shelf for decor or an indoor herb garden, these pallet wall shelves will fit the bill!

A bit of display or storage, and a bit of workspace — this folding pallet wall desk by Thistlewood Farms is practically perfect!

Heading to the kitchen — why not make a pallet into an overhead pot rack like A Greenpoint Kitchen? Just staple on some chicken wire and add some S hooks. I bet this would also work for tools in a garage or craft room.
Easy organization that doubles as decor! This cute mug holder by One Little Bird Blog is perfect for a coffee station.
