The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
It can be surprisingly easy to create an attractive and functional piece of furniture for your home.
You might even be able to recycle some leftover timber or free pallet wood into something both beautiful and practical, as many other Bunnings Workshop community members have done.
We hope you are inspired by the following projects from our clever and creative community. Here’s the Top 10 most popular indoor furniture projects on Workshop by pageviews:
1. Upcycled table with concrete top by @Andadams
Concrete table
Perseverance paid off for long-time Bunnings Workshop member Andadams, who can now enjoy this striking concrete-topped table for many years to come. It's a wonderful example of upcycling.
2. Wine storage and bookshelf using pallet timber by @KGriff1
A project that member KGriff1 says is “so simple, anyone can do it”. A pallet was quickly and easily transformed into a fantastic shelf to store wine, books and some potted succulents. All that was needed was some extra MDF and some sanding.
3. Bench seat made with handtools by @AndrewJones
