Add A Pallet To An Existing Desk
I am in love with this pallet top desk! The look is so shabby chic. This, of course, wasn’t just a matter of sticking a pallet on top of an existing desk. There was a little bit of re-work here. But, the pallet was free, the instructions are easy to follow and the result is soooo amazing!
Add Ikea Legs To A Pallet
Here is another fun idea using legs from Ikea. Some additional wood, besides the pallet, was also used in this project. This gives the simple pallet desk a clean look.
Apply Pallet Wood To A Plywood Frame
For a designer looking pallet desk like this, you may want to check you what Hall/Spassov did. To get the aged look of the pallets, they adhered them to stronger wood that was used to construct the desk.
Rustic Pallet Desk Idea
Wow! If you have the space, here is an awesome rustic long pallet desk design. I just love those chunky pallet legs and the cedar plank top! The industrial looking rolling file bins fit perfectly underneath.
Sleek Pallet Desk Design
From rustic to a more sleek design, all you need to do is run the pallet boards through a planer and add some wood stain. Starting out with a good quality pallets helps too. For this desk, the pallets were all taken apart, put through a planer, and then reassembled into this desk design. The rich dark stain adds a warm sleek look too.
Rough Pallet Desk Design
And finally, this pallet desk is simply made with rough pallets and a glass top and it is absolutely perfect for a boy’s bedroom. Notice the great space for books underneath? No need to worry about this desk getting damaged. Those of you with boy’s will know what I am talking about! Although these pallets look fairly rough, you can ensure that the pallets are safe to decorate with.
