There are many DIY projects that we can do in a simple way; your own towel racks, or even how to make DIY wooden lamps. And as you well know, we love the "do it yourself" and that is why today we bring you a lot of ideas for you to make your own furniture. It is not so difficult to make simple and cool DIY furniture for your home. For the hall, the bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom... even for the garden or the terrace. You'll see how beautiful they look!

Do you go around a thousand times when you are looking for a certain piece of furniture until you find it? Or when you see the one that convinces you is a little (or a lot) out of the budget you had in mind? Well, don't worry, it doesn't happen only to you, and besides... We have the perfect solution! Make some simple DIY furniture, that will look great, for little money and fully customized... Isn't the idea cool? Well, take note, get inspired and let's get to work!

Simple DIY furniture for your home

We start with some great and simple accessories, which can also be made with little budget. You don't need too many materials and as we have already told you, they are fully customizable to your liking.

This coat rack is great to put in any corner of the house! On the other hand, a simple board of the shape you prefer and some thin strings are enough to make a floating shelf to place plants or even to make a bedside table using a thicker rope.

The stools are very useful in a house and we can not like these more. Something that serves as a mold (for example a bucket), water, cement, wooden sticks and a little paint to decorate them are the materials you will need to make them, and the result as you can see is great, they are also great if you like industrial type decoration.

Another idea that we bring you today is to change the typical and boring curtain rod for a branch. You can also paint it in the color you like and that goes with the decor of the room where you are going to place it, what do you think the result? It couldn't be simpler.

This is another option to make our own stool, but with a more rustic style. Get a good slice of natural wood (which is now a trend in decoration) and some legs (you can find them for about $4 each in DIY centers and the like). It looks great as a side table or even as a bedside table.

Simple DIY furniture: Shelves

We continue with more options of simple diy furniture. What do you think if we make a shelf whose shelves are floating? It is a very cool option to give a different and stylish touch to the decor. You can get the rope in the color of your choice (pink, blue, green, yellow, yellow, black...) and even change it according to the season.

Using wooden boxes, those of the fruit that are so popular now and that are very versatile, as we can give them countless different uses, you can make a super shelf for the living room. As you can see in the photo, if you also install some small spotlights for light... It's great!

Simple and beautiful DIY furniture with pallets

Pallets are increasingly used in decoration, and no wonder, because you can design a lot of cool furniture with them. For example, make your own headboard for the bed. It will give the room a personal touch and it is not difficult to make, you can use pallet boards and then decorate it as you like.

You can make a beautiful coffee table for the living room with a pallet, 4 wheels and a glass of the dimensions of the pallet. It is ideal for an industrial decoration (also if you paint it black) and if you put it in white it will also go very well in a Nordic style.
