We
have used plywood to build our furniture, interior walls, roofing and other
such projects since time immemorial, hiding them under a layer of beautifully
functional layer of laminates or veneers. We seldom use plywood on its own, but
today the humble sheet of plywood proudly shows off its stripes in a resurgence
of popularity driven by striking, original designs. In this article, we will
explore 7 ways that you can get supremely creative with plywood furniture, with
or without the support of laminates and veneers.
1. Folding Dressing Area
We all have a well-built closet to store our attires and accessories but what if we could jazz-up our rooms with a designated area just for dressing up? By using strong, borer and termite proof light coloured plywood, you can easily build a folding dressing area and install it anywhere in your room where you feel comfortable. The best part is that because of its foldable nature, it saves space instead of taking up more. It can be a great addition to a guest room as well, imparting a sophisticated aura to any home. The light, natural color palette of plywood furniture helps make a small space look bigger.
2. Minimalistic Multi-Stack Bookcase
Every
avid reader holds one corner of the house to be the most sacred: their
bookshelf. If you love reading and collecting books, it is only fair to have an
equally appealing bookcase to hold your temple of knowledge and showcase it proudly.
With the use of moisture-resistant and borer & termite resistant plywood,
you are sure to make a sturdy bookcase. Make sure that the compartments are of
varied sizes to give it an elegant touch. You can take your bookcase one step
above the normal by using the plywood shelves and mounting them onto the wall
with invisible supports to create a unique ‘floating bookcase’.
3. Stylish Coffee Table
Have
you ever seen anything more beautiful than a space with all-wood furniture? It
is no wonder that a lot of interior designers are adopting furniture made of
wood or given a wooden finish as it accentuates and brings out the best in any
space. Our advice would be to keep the design simple and let the natural wood markings
of the plywood take precedence. Create simple coffee tables, chairs and even
quaint dining tables with strong, durable plywood sheets and adorn them with
wood grain veneers to drive this look home!

4. Handy Plant Shelf
Consult
with any design pro and you'll learn that plants are always a good idea for an
interior. Indoor plants are often a low-maintenance way of getting some fresh
air while sitting on your couch! Let your choice of plants perch upon a plant
shelf made of strong, moisture-resistant wood and you’ll have a trendy interior
piece with the goodness of some greenery.

5. Your Kid’s Favourite Chair
Kids require special
attention and specific tools. A chair exclusively made for them often comes in
handy, becoming a part of your child’s life. Plywood can easily be made into a
beautiful chair for your child. With the addition of soft-padded armrests and a
well-rounded design, your child is bound to love it!

6. Wooden Night-Stand
Imagine
yourself waking up at the wee hours of dawn and reaching out for a swallow of
water next to your bed and realising you don’t have a bedside table. A
nightstand on either or both sides of the bed can save us a lot of trouble! You
can make it in any design you want: a shot, rectangular table with multiple
drawers to hold your essentials, a round table with hairpin legs or even a
mixture of both.

possibilities with a plywood bed frame are numerous! Turn your bed into a one
