17 Simple Furniture Building Plans for Beginners

Building Plans

These simple furniture building plans are simple enough for even beginners to make.

17 simple furniture building plans for beginners

You guys know how much I love furniture building, especially my own furniture! I love the satisfaction I get when someone asks where I bought a piece of furniture in my home, and I can say “I built it”.

But the thought of building your own furniture can seem so overwhelming. So today I want to share 17 simple furniture building plans for beginners.

These plans are from some super cool bloggers who know what they’re doing, and will walk you through every step of each project.

Furniture Building Plans

DIY Farmhouse Bench – The Creative Mom.

This farmhouse bench cost less than $20 to build and only took me an afternoon (with no help from the husband!). It’s so quick and easy. It’s the perfect project to start out with.

Farmhouse Coffee Table – The Creative Mom

The cool thing about this table is that the “bones” of the table are from Ikea. So you just add the planking to the top. Super simple and super inexpensive. It’s a great project to bust out some glue and your saw.

DIY Planter Box Centerpiece – The Creative Mom

If the idea of a full-blown piece of furniture seems a little overwhelming, start with something simple to put on a table top.

Like this Planter Box Centerpiece. It only cost 8 dollars, and took an hour or so to build. It’s a great project to start with.
