Take the industrial

look up a rung in

your kitchen with

recycled pallets

Y

ou can add

bench space

that’s a touch

out of the ordinary

with an island made

from timber pallets.

The repurposed

material is sturdy and

easy to work with, plus

you can pick up pallets

for next to nothing –

sometimes even for

free. Join them with a

simple panel then top

with a timber benchtop

and your island

home is complete. ▲

1. It’s feature time!
   Spray-painted house
   numbers and a clock
   mechanism fixed to the
   wall create an interesting
   focal point. Attach the
   mechanism with heavy-
   duty foam mounting tape.
   You could screw through
   the numbers into masonry
   plugs or use small strips
   of mounting tape for an
   easily removable option.
