The modern rustic design trend has swept through the interior spaces of decor lovers everywhere. One easy way to achieve the look is with a wooden pallet bed or headboard. Sometimes referred to as a “skid,” pallet boards are the wooden planks underneath merchandise or cargo that can be lifted and moved by forklifts. Some clever DIY decorators have repurposed pallet boards to build seating, bed frames, day beds, and headboards that fit effortlessly into the rustic decor theme. Otherwise known as farmhouse chic, the style is admired for its natural feel and earth tones complemented by rough textures like rope and wood. Using elements from the rustic trend can make any space feel more like home with warm colors, cozy cottons, and wooden furniture. Whether you know someone who is handy with a skill saw, or you’re feeling up to the task yourself, you can build an affordable pallet bed that will bring the rustic theme to life in any bedroom space.
Of course, this project requires a bit of labor, patience, and skill if you choose to build the pallet at home. A bit of research will show that there are quite a few helpful resources on Youtube to make sure you build the project safely and properly. Another option to consider is purchasing one at the local hardware store to skip the slivers or buy a skid building kit directly from Lowes. We found our favorite pallet beds to get you inspired to create the perfect lounge spot somewhere in your home.
