12 Easy Pallet Sofas and Coffee Tables to DIY in One Afternoon
Are you feeling this burning desire to make all the rustic and beautiful pallet sofas and coffee tables? If yes, I can totally relate!
Today we will explore some inspiring pallet sofa and coffee table ideas in 2 parts:
Part 1: Beautiful DIY pallet sofas, starting with simple ones that require little building skills.
Part 2: Easy pallet coffee tables with gorgeous styles ranging from farmhouse, bohemian, to modern!
Before we start, here’s a helpful guide on where to find and how to select pallets, plus lots of tips on how to work with them!
( Some of the helpful resources are affiliate links. Full disclosure here. ) And THIS tool above: a Duckbill Deck Wrecker we got on Amazon , is our favorite for taking apart pallets!
Let’s start with some easy pallet sofas.
1 . Simple DIY pallet sofa with stacked pallets.
Take four of five pallets. Cut the side panels. Sand the wood. Use nails and / or wood screws to attach the side and back panels to the stacked seats. Add a few colorful pillows. Now you have a gorgeous DIY pallet sofa! ( Source: 1001 Pallets)
2. Modern three Pallet Sofa.
Pallets from Europe are built differently than those from United States. Remember to modify your pallet furniture designs accordingly! The back and seats are joined together with L-shaped Bracket Fasteners. ( The tutorial site is no longer there. If you find the original source please let me know! )
Talking about those pallet stamps, if you are totally in love with them, you would love this easy way to transfer stamps and images to wood with only wax paper and water!

3 & 4 . Boho pallet daybed sofas.
Daybeds are such bohemian style additions to a space! Both pallet daybed sofas use two pallets as base. I just LOVE that old door in the one above! The one below uses galvanized pipes and flange on both sides to hold the pillows in. Add four 3″ to 4″ steel casters like these , so cute!
5 & 6. Pallet sofas and loveseats.
My friend Donna at Funky Junk Interiors never fails to amaze me with her creativity and style: just look at her pallet sofa!
This nicely designed white sofa is from 1001 Pallets , a pallet DIY community featuring so many great ideas you can browse for days!
7. Large Pallet sofa.

We wanted something more relaxed, as we don’t have kids and don’t plan to have any in the near future, we spend a lot of time in our living room hanging out, napping, watching tv. It’s just the two of us. This was our first attempt at something done ourselves, sorry our fabric isn’t down to the inch, and we don’t have a back to our couch.
