DIY wall wine rack: yes or no?
Regardless of whether the choice fell on a metal wine rack, or a simple, rustic wooden stand for your favorite wine fits much more into the arranged interior, you need to think about where you want to place it. If you plan to make an aesthetic stand for your own wine and hang it on the wall, realistically assess your skills. Such a stand must be made with attention to the smallest details. Only a solid stand can be hung on the wall, which will hold it really well, and its design will be adapted to the amount and severity of the bottles that you are going to store in this way. If you are a beginner in DIY, it is better to replace the wine rack mounted to the wall with a less demanding project. This is important for security reasons.
How to make a wine rack from a pallet?
You have no idea how to make a budget wine rack? Fortunately, if you decide on a DIY (Do It Yoursefl) project, you do not need to have a larger cash reserve. Use pallets! You can buy them on the Internet: the price of a single euro pallet is about 5 – 10 zlotys, but when choosing a product, pay attention to whether it is not damaged in any way. Pallets are the last cry of fashion! Thanks to their multifunctionality, you can make balcony and terrace furniture from them, and even a bed. Do you have a pallet, what’s next? How to make a wooden DIY wine rack?
Step 1. On the back of the pallet, you can notice the characteristic “shelves”, consisting of a foot and a guide. One of them will act as a shelf for your wine. At this stage, you can get rid of the other two by cutting them off from the back of the pallet or cutting off the back at the desired height. When forming the shape of the stand, pay attention to the fact that it is sufficiently stable.
Step 2. To the bottom of the selected “shelf”, that is, between the guide and the foot of the pallet, mount a matching strip. There is an empty space between the foot and the pallet guide, so you need to provide the bottles with adequate support. Make sure that the finished shelf will withstand the weight of full bottles.
Step 3. You’re almost at the finish. Now it’s time to grind your stand. This is important not only because of the appearance of the shelf, but also because of the safety of use – by smoothing the surfaces of the pallet you minimize the risk of splinter penetration.
Step 4. That is, painting! Whether you dream of a black industrial wine rack or much more prefer a white, modern wine rack, made of wood and matching your minimalist interior, you can easily realize your plans. All you have to do is choose the paint in the right color, and the palette of shades is wide enough that regardless of your tastes you will find the one that will be a hit. In the store, ask for paint, which can be painted wooden surfaces.

You can use the idea of a wine rack from a pallet in any room, but once again we sensitize you to check whether your product guarantees adequate stability after finishing work. Spilled wine is a big hassle (stains can be difficult to remove!) and a simple waste of money.
