March 02, 2023

Renovating a home can be a long, tiring and very expensive experience, which is why we often give up or postpone the renovations for a long time. If you like DIY, however, you know that there is an easy and cheap alternative to furnish your entire home: using pallets. Extremely versatile materials and very simple to work with, pallets can help you give a new look to a single room or to an entire apartment.

So why not start from the entrance? This part of the house is the one that welcomes us when we return from work, travel or outings, but it also welcomes our guests. It may therefore be a good idea to start the renovations here and pallets lend themselves very well to this purpose. Here are 12 fabulous ideas to inspire you:
