You guys know how much I love building 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.
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.

This bed has been on my list to make for my little girl for a long while! It is a piece of furniture that will last the test of time. And it’s pretty adorable too. Amy has the full set of plans on her site, Her Tool Belt.
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.
DIY Cupcake Stand – Shanty 2 Chic
Another simple building idea is this sweet cupcake stand. It is the perfect plan for a beginner, and would be a great piece to pull out on special occasions. Then dazzle everyone by saying you build it yourself!

How perfect would this entryway organizer be for your house! And how much better would it be if you built it yourself! This would be a great build.
