With the promise of better weather (here’s hoping) comes a desire to upgrade our gardens. Ready for pizza parties (roll out the pizza oven), BBQs and cocktail making evenings on the patio.
If you’re desperate to give your space some TLC but you can’t quite justify spending upwards of £1,000 on a Made.com garden corner sofa, fret not. Pallet furniture is big news right now, reigning supreme as one of the most affordable ways to level-up your garden furniture game.
Pallet furniture began to grow in popularity at the beginning of the pandemic, when we all went into hibernation and became obsessed with up-cycling everything in sight. As such, the trend has taken over Pinterest of late – with DIY’ers fashioning everything from coffee tables to bed frames from the humble wooden pallet.
It’s no surprise: you can snap up a wooden pallet for as little as £10 online, and then all you need is a lick of paint and some pallet furniture cushions to make your new piece comfy.
Sure, some pallet furniture cushions do come in around the £100 mark, but since that’s your only major expense, creating your own pallet sofa will be *much* cheaper than buying a full-priced garden dining set.
Concerned about the rain? You needn’t be. Loads of the pallet furniture cushions in this edit are weather resistant, so you don’t need to fret about them getting a bit wet. Case in point: these beige tufted pallet furniture cushions that come in at less than £30 from Etsy.
Pallet furniture cushions also work wonderfully inside. If you can’t quite justify a brand new sofa right now, but you’re after an affordable way to update your living room seating area, a pallet sofa could be a great option. Urban Outfitters is our go-to for floor cushions, pallet furniture cushions and day bed cushions that’ll stand the test of time inside.
Consider your home Instagram-ready.
