4. Pallet Bed with Fairy Lights
One of the best things about a pallet bed is how easy it is to insert lights underneath because of the gap that allows light to pass throughout and spread a really cozy vibe across the room. It’s an inexpensive way to get under-the-bed lighting.
5. Bed on Wheels
Even if we’re not dealing with a full-sized bed frame or platform, a mattress on a pallet can still be difficult to move around. If you have a large studio apartment and would love to relocate the bed every now and then, how about mounting castor wheels on the bottom of the pallet?

15. Pallet Trundle Bed
Does your teenager often have sleepovers? Do you need one more bed for out-of-town guests? Then how about a trundle bed that’s made using pallets? It might seem unusual, you can always repurpose and repaint old pallet wood to make a completely cool-looking bed frame.
16. Hanging Pallet Bed
Can you imagine what it would be like if you turned your bed into a swing? Doing so is pretty easy, as you can suspend the bed using ropes hung from the ceiling. It might not be the best sleep setup (especially since hitting the wall would damage it and also wake you up) but it does look amazing.
17. White Pallet Bed
Granted, there are a lot of people that don’t like the idea of an all-white room because every little smudge and stain becomes increasingly more visible. Yet, you can’t deny these soothing vibes that you get just by looking at this white bedroom setup.
18. Pallet Bed and Headboard
There is a lot that you can do with old pallets, so much more than making a platform for your bed. In this example, you can see how easy it is to make a headboard out of pallets. Decorate that with some fairy lights and your bedroom will feel like magic.
19. Pallet Bed with Drawers
Feast your eyes on another practical example of a pallet bed. This one features wooden boxes that serve as drawers, probably mounted on a set of rails to make it easy to pull them out. This is a great solution for those with limited bedroom space that could use all the extra storage they can get.
20. Luxury Pallet Bed
While you never thought you’d hear the words “luxury” and “pallet” in the same sentence, this particular bedroom setup will show you that anything is possible. While the pallet might seem a bit rustic at first, it blends in perfectly with the high-end details of the bedroom.
21. Low Platform Pallet Bed
Covered mostly in gray, this minimalist bed feels very modern and sleek. It comes with a mix of black, white, and gray-print cushions, but somehow it also feels lively and child-friendly. Since it has a pretty low profile, climbing in and out of bed should also be a breeze.

22. Relaxing Attic Bedroom
While wooden pallets are unattractive on their own, with a little effort and creativity, they may be transformed into a lovely piece of furniture constructed entirely by hand and on a shoestring budget. Such as the case with this pallet bed, assembled in an antique bedroom.
23. Pallet Bunk Bed
In terms of how creative you can get with pallets in the bedroom, this is jaw-dropping. Pallets have been entirely repurposed to make two bunk beds with different compartments for storage. Every little detail on this looks amazing, and just think about how much money you can save by making one of these by yourself.

24. Outdoor Pallet Bed
You can easily make an outdoor bed using repurposed pallets and cushions, and turn your patio or even the side of the pool into the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something cold and catch up on your favorite novel.
25. Adorable Bedroom
While children’s decor is a lot of fun, it also changes rapidly as they grow older. A pallet bed frame constructed by hand is the ideal answer. It’s affordable and versatile, so it’ll age well, even when your children outgrow their current obsessions and fads.
26. Elevated Bed with Shoe Storage
This is probably not the ideal place to store shoes, but when you’re short on space, you want to take advantage of all nooks and crannies. This pallet bed idea might be just what you need when you live in a small apartment and need all the storage space you can get.

27. Pallet Bed in Neutral Bedroom
Attic bedrooms have a flair of their own, especially when you can afford to gaze at the starry sky from the comfort of their own bed. Notice how everything in this room is soothing because of the monochromatic decoration choice. The neutral tones are pleasing to one’s eyes, making this bedroom a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.
28. Pallet Bed Steps
There is an unlimited number of things that you can do with pallets around the house, and making a platform with steps for your bed is just one of them. The steps are mostly decorative, since you don’t really need them to climb into bed, but they make wonderful spots for placing plants and decorative items.

29. Bright Bedroom
Scandinavian bedrooms will always make a solid impression, even when you use pallets as a bed platform. Notice how bright color choices will always attract light into the room, making this the perfect bedroom for those who want an early morning start, with plenty of light coming in through the window.
30. Large Pallet Bed
One of the perks of opting for pallets to make your own bed foundation is the fact that you can customize the size and make it as big or as small as you want. You can also opt for more irregular bed shapes, grating you more power over how your bed setup looks like.
31. Floating Bed
Floating beds add a certain charm to the room. However, if you were dealing with a regular bed platform, you wouldn’t be able to make this work. With pallets, you can create a platform that can be hung from the ceiling with greater ease, especially if you use sturdy rope in the process.

32. Twin Toddler Pallet Beds
Investing in a bed for a toddler sometimes feels pointless when you consider how fast they grow. For that reason or whatever other reasons you may have, pallet beds can make a great addition to a child’s room, especially when you’re going for a very unique look.
33. Nature Colors
The natural color of pallets makes them quite a suitable choice for bedrooms that have a splash of green. Notice how the green accent wall and matching rug go so well with the earthy tones of the pallet bed. The floral bedding adds a drop of color that makes the bedroom even more aesthetically pleasing.
34. Pallet Bed with Cubbies
OK, these might not be cubbies in the actual sense of the word. They’re more like storage compartments naturally formed by the positioning of the pallets. The names are not important, what’s important is that you can use this space to store different trinkets, clothes, toys, and even books.
35. Movable Pallet Bed
We’ve added one more example of a pallet bed with wheels on the bottom, which makes it easier to move the bed around the house as you please (assuming it fits through the door, that is). Also, notice how the pallets were painted white to match the rest of the decor? Their natural color would have worked in this setting as well.
36. Two-Toned Pallet Bedroom
Predominantly brown, but with splashes of turquoise and teal, this bedroom provides a heavenly oasis for those who love to relax at the end of a long day. As you can see, the owner also makes use of whatever space is between the pallets to store some books. Quite convenient for a spontaneous reading session in bed.
37. Corner Pallet Bed
Pallet beds can be placed anywhere in the bedroom. Here, it’s located in the corner, creating such a cozy spot for those who love a bedroom with good vibes only. The minimalist setup is absolutely dreamy, showing that you don’t need a lot of things to feel good about the surroundings.
38. Raised Pallet Daybed
Daybeds are a wonderful piece of furniture. They are basically a hybrid between couch and a bed, offering people the perfect place to lounge during the day. This can be easily put together with pallets and large cushions, as you can see here.
39. Cactus Boho Bedroom
We can’t help but bow down when we notice how creative some people are. In this setup, we can see a bedroom with plenty of Boho elements. It features a cacti tapestry, fuzzy pillows and throw blankets, plants, bright and neutral colors, and fairy lights.
40. Cozy Bedroom
I’m really making an effort to concentrate on the pallet bed with those adorable four-legged companions just chilling on the floor. Anyways, we do love the choice of colors here. Even if there’s nothing too bold, this is still a bedroom that stands out of the crowd and is giving us cozy vibes.
