Make a wardrobe in the hallway with your own hands drawings. Sliding wardrobe for the hallway: self-assembly

Today more and more owners are paying attention to the modern design of the premises. It is imperative that all rooms are stylish, original and in harmony with each other. The entrance hall is the place that first introduces guests to the apartment. It has many functions. It is in the corridor that shoes and clothes are stored, guests are met, and preened just before going out. It should be practical and comfortable. Hallway installation can be done by yourself.

Today, many are trying to complete a beautiful design not only in living rooms, but also in the hallway. Thanks to this, the corridor can look stylish, neat and beautiful. But for this you need to know the techniques and methods that will help you correctly arrange the furniture.

It is important to decide in advance on the pieces of furniture that will be located in the corridor. They should be practical first and foremost.

Our climate is very changeable. Therefore, the hallway is often a concentration of dust, moisture and dirt. It is important to think carefully about the finish of the floor, as well as how to store outerwear and rooms. It is important to remember the main rule of the material must be of high quality and durable.

What to put in the hallway:

• Swing cabinet;
• Shelf for shoes;
• Large mirror.

When choosing one or sometimes the type of furniture, it is important to pay attention to its spaciousness. Very often, furniture that looks oversized cannot accommodate a sufficient number of things. Furniture must be ergonomic. Modular designs are very popular today.

Hallway assembly: basic elements

The cost of equipping the hallway may vary. After purchasing the necessary furniture, the owners will have to solve the issue of assembling it. This can be done by specially hired workers.

You can assemble the hallway yourself. However, for this you need to have certain knowledge and skills.

Furniture can not only be assembled, but also made by yourself. To do this, you need to decide on the number of required elements. Work should begin with the development of an assembly diagram.

Hallway assembly elements:

• Single-leaf pedestal;
• Double-leaf pedestal;
• Hanger;
• Pencil case;
• Cupboard.

In order to assemble a complete set of furniture, it is necessary to prepare materials, make drawings, and decide on the number of parts. After the parts are ready, you need to make sure you have enough fasteners. It is important to assemble in a safe manner.

How to assemble a hallway with your own hands: assembling a pencil case

The size of the pencil case can be varied. The dimensions of the furniture should be decided in advance so that unforeseen situations do not occur. Pencil case materials can be purchased at building supermarkets or ordered online.

Preparing to assemble the pencil case takes little time. The main thing is to cut the slats of the appropriate size.

During the assembly process, the strips must be placed parallel to each other and fastened to the lid with self-tapping screws. Do not forget to fix the frame with corners made of plywood. After that, it is fashionable to start cutting out doors and shelves.

Pencil case assembly features:

• Available in various sizes.
• The cover should be cut with an overlap.
• Use 2 or 3 hinges to secure the doors.

Assembling the pencil case is not difficult. However, you should not take on a job without experience in working with building materials. It is important that the hallway looks beautiful.

In our next article, you will find useful recommendations for choosing functional wardrobes:.

Hallway assembly diagram: corner option

When assembling a corner hallway with your own hands, it is important to be extremely careful. Incorrect calculations can lead to damage to the material from which the furniture is made. Before assembling the furniture, you need to check the condition of the wall near which the furniture will be located.

A curved wall assumes the presence of a common frame to which the shelves are screwed during the assembly process.

The size of the room, the length of the walls and the proximity of doorways affect the correctness of the drawing up of the assembly diagram. After the dimensions are taken into account, it is necessary to think over the internal equipment of the furniture structure. It consists of six main body elements.

Corner cabinet assembly process:

• Frame assembly;
• Work on the planks (lower and upper);
• Manufacturing of back walls;
• Creation of side walls;
• Installation of internal shelves, drawers and baskets;
• Securing rods and hooks.

You can assemble a corner cabinet yourself. For this, it is important to prepare in advance. Watch video tutorials that will help you understand the assembly process in more detail. It is important to note that the quality of the cabinet will depend on the material chosen. It is best to use natural tree species. However, such a cabinet, even with its own manufacture, will be quite expensive.

How to assemble a hallway with your own hands (video)

You can assemble the furniture in the hallway yourself. The main thing is to treat the assembly and installation of the hallway responsibly and carefully. Many designers advise installing a modular design in the living room. It is ergonomic and has a beautiful appearance. It may take a while to build the modules. You can also make furniture yourself. However, this cannot be done without professionalism and appropriate skills.

Home furnishing is the final step that brings together all the renovation and design stages. Modern furniture should combine several important qualities: operational functionality, appearance as such, compliance with the general design idea.

Coupe systems or their elements are present in almost every home. The convenience and functionality of this furniture is indisputable, and for such design styles as minimalism, urban, high-tech, they are completely irreplaceable. The article provides comprehensive recommendations for self-manufacturing of a sliding wardrobe.

Advantages

Having considered the pros and cons of this class of furniture, we will get a complete picture of the modern concept of a wardrobe with a sliding door opening system.

Advantages
Ergonomics	Standard designs require blind zones for opening. In coupe systems, when opening and closing, the doors move in the same plane along the guides. The area of ​​the room is significantly saved.
Spaciousness	The ability to arbitrarily configure the internal space (filling), which determines the spaciousness. The only requirement is ergonomic feasibility.
Versatility	Fits into any interior. Various designs and finishes allow you to install the wardrobe in the bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc.
Functionality	Inside, unlike ordinary cabinets, you can store large items, household appliances. Build in various devices - ironing board, workbench, table top, etc.
Ideal for tight spaces	For narrow aisles and corridors, a wardrobe is often the only solution. Only it can be placed in such places and operated comfortably.
Zoning	Dual functionality. Using such furniture, you can easily zone the room, that is, it can also perform the function of a partition.
Variety of designs	No restrictions on internal content. A large number of materials for the manufacture of facades, which allows you to embody any design idea.
Using a mirror	A mirror can be installed on the facade. This will improve the functionality of the room and visually expand the space.
Operational reliability	Doors moving along guides will last much longer than hinged doors.

There are much fewer disadvantages, but they are:

disadvantages
Failure of the sliding system	Occurs only in case of purchasing a low-quality sliding system.
The need for additional lighting	If the dimensions are large, additional light will be required, which significantly increases operational comfort.
The need to clean the guides	Over time, the bottom rails become clogged, which can interfere with the movement of the roller. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to clean the grooves of the guides.
The mirror gets dirty quickly	If a mirror is used in the decoration, then it will often have to be washed from stains and marks of hands.
No rearrangement possible	When designing, the dimensions are related to the specific location of the cabinet. Not suitable for frequent rearrangement lovers.

Varieties in shape

There are several varieties, they have structural and external differences:

• built-in;
• freestanding;
• corner;
• diagonal angular.

Let's consider each of them separately.

Built in

When constructing such a cabinet, there is no top, back wall and base. Only partitions are made. The entire structure is screwed directly to the ceiling, walls and floor. Metal corners are used as fixation.

It is a stationary structure, and it is an invariable part of the created interior.

Standing separately

Has sidewalls, top, bottom, back and sliding doors. It is a complete separate piece of furniture. Its movement is possible, it is not attached to any design elements.

Angular

An excellent solution for small apartments, where every meter is expensive. Follows the shape of the corner and allows you to efficiently use the space of the room.

Diagonal Angle

This is a kind of corner, but the facade does not follow the shape of the corner, but is made diagonal. The increased capacity of this design determines its frequent use as a dressing room.

Material used

Furniture with a sliding door system is made from a variety of materials. The table shows the main ones:

Material
	The most common and frequently used one. The chipboard plate, having a low price, is distinguished by sufficient strength. A huge selection of textures, colors, patterns allows you to make the front part for any design decisions. There is one, but significant, drawback - it is difficult to fine-tune it. For this reason, mainly simple structures are made from chipboard or laminated chipboard.
	Eco-friendly material, easy to process. The variety of facade coatings is no less than that of chipboard. Practical and affordable material.
	An expensive option, but natural wood will last a long time. A great decoration in any interior.

Types by design

The classification by design differences is as follows:

1. built-in;
2. case.

Built-in ... There is no need for top, bottom and side parts. Their function is performed by the walls, floor and ceiling of the niche. For manufacturing, you can use drywall, which will reduce the overall cost of the product.

Hull ... The main difference from a conventional wardrobe is the door opening method. You can move it if necessary. Transportation (moving) without disassembly is possible. The downside is the increased consumption of materials, since the side, bottom and top walls, and the rear part are manufactured.

Now let's take a closer look at the organization of the internal volume of the cabinet.

Design features

When designing, one should take into account the ergonomic and operational specifics.

Consider the main structural elements of the wardrobe.

Door width

The choice of door size depends on factors:

• manufacturers of sliding systems are limited to certain sizes. Some systems allow the production of a sash up to 120 cm wide;
• the width is influenced by the number of inner sections. Each section must be freely accessible;
• the choice is influenced by personal preference. There are no special rules, if it does not go beyond the restrictions listed above.

The optimal width, proven in practice, is from 600 to 900 mm. This size provides the most comfortable conditions for use.

Sliding systems

Sliding systems are classified according to two main criteria:

1. profile material;
2. the principle of expansion.

For the manufacture of the profile of the movable system, aluminum or steel is used. The material of the sliding system is chosen, as a rule, the same as that used for the door frame. Steel structures are cheaper, but in most cases aluminum is preferred.

Structurally, two types of systems are produced - bottom support and top-hung. In the lower support - the door with rollers moves along the rail. In the top-hung one - its rollers move along the upper guides.

Height

Any height is chosen. The only limitation may be the ceilings or the small height of the owners of the apartment / house. Structures are made both from ceiling to floor and of lower height.

The standard length of the material used for the walls is 270 cm. A standard apartment has a ceiling height of 260–270 cm. Almost the same dimensions allow not sawing or building up structural elements.

For ceilings above 270 mm (if you wish to have a floor-to-ceiling cabinet), there are two solutions. First, the sheets of material are joined to the required length. Second, the mezzanine is being assembled. Sheets can be joined using high-precision equipment of companies specializing in such services.

Shelf depth

The depth of the shelves determines the daily usability of the cabinet. The optimal and recommended indicator is 60–70 cm. Usually, a bar for hangers is placed in the closet, the width of which is about 48 cm. A depth of 60 cm will completely exclude contact between the inner surface of the door and the clothes that are hung on the hangers. Most furniture accessories (boxes, trays, etc.) have a width of 50 cm. You should not make the shelves deeper, as it will be inconvenient to get "under the wall" when placing things.

The dimensions of the premises do not always allow installing furniture with the maximum recommended shelf depth. But there are also limitations on the minimum depth. The best option may be a depth of 40 cm.Taking into account that 10 cm goes under the sliding door mechanism, you can purchase small hangers 30 cm wide.Only installation of a hanging rod (rods) perpendicular to the doors and the back wall, in this case, the width of the placed hangers not limited.

Such a solution is much better than completely abandoning the installation of a cabinet, especially since even such a "narrow" design for small apartments is an ideal solution.

Length

When designing, the length of the cabinet is chosen in accordance with the place of its further installation.

Height of shelves and rods

The height between the shelves is 250–350 mm. The selection rule is simple: the greater the depth of the shelves - the greater the distance between them, the smaller the depth - the distance is less. This dependence is associated with the convenience of access to the stacks of linen located in the depths of the shelf (at the back wall).

When designing a mezzanine, one should take into account the size of things expected to be stored on it. If these are suitcases, then the height of the mezzanine should be equal to the height of the suitcase, plus a small margin.

The mounting height of the hanger bar is determined by the length of the clothes placed on it. The maximum height will be equal to the longest item. Average length of typical wardrobe items:

• shirts - up to 100 cm;
• jackets - up to 110 cm;
• long clothes - up to 130 cm;
• raincoats and fur coats - up to 150 cm.

These calculations are approximate, since the length of the clothes depends on the height, style and other parameters.

Schemes and drawings

The diagrams show various options for projects and furniture assembly technologies:

Device inside

When designing the filling of the wardrobe, first of all, zoning of the internal space is done. The figure shows a universal scheme for dividing various things into storage areas:

When buying a finished product, you will have to agree with the filling configuration proposed by the manufacturer. Self-production will allow maximum consideration of the size, functional purpose, location of various zones and much more, which, ultimately, will provide maximum operational comfort.

Below is a table with examples of frequently used elements of internal filling and zoning of the wardrobe with their help.

Zoning
	Shelves are one of the main filling elements. They can be stationary and retractable, solid and ventilated, half and full depth, etc.
	Drawers are the second most important element of the cabinet.
	Suspension bar - necessary for clothes on hangers. The material of manufacture is different, more often metal.
	Convenient storage baskets. All things are clearly visible in them, which creates a certain convenience.
	This device is called the trouser. Trousers are always ironed and ready to dress.
	A bar (hanger) for storing ties - it is convenient to choose, it does not wrinkle, the correct suspension protects from changing the shape.
	Convenient storage of belts, alternatively storage on a shelf in rolls.
	Compact and convenient storage for underwear.
	Placing bed linen, towels, some clothes in piles on the shelves.
	A significant part of the internal volume is allocated for storing blouses, light blazers, short sundresses. A pipe with shoulders is installed in the opening. You can make several of these sections - for short and long items.
	A compartment for accessories - bracelets, watches, glasses, etc. It is recommended to store these items in drawers. Inside, the space can be divided into separate cells.
	Shelves for storing shoes. In the upper (mezzanine) part, you can place shoes in boxes.
	Hooks, hangers, carabiners, rings and other accessories for bags.
Hiking suitcases	Place suitcases that are rarely used (once a year while on vacation) on the far (upper) shelves or mezzanine.
	One of the options for bed linen. Shelf width up to 80 cm, height up to 60 cm.

Characteristics of the main filling elements:

• pull-out and stationary shelves. For convenient use, the distance between them is from 350 to 450 mm;
• drawers. Two types - fully retractable (100%), partially retractable (80%). Can be equipped with door closers providing smooth semi-automatic closing of the box;
• mezzanines, known as hard-to-reach shelves. Located at the top. They store rarely used and large things;
• barbells are required for the hanger. They are mounted to the width of the cabinet;
• pantographs or special "furniture lifts". Thanks to them, clothes are kept at the required level and easily pulled out with a special bar. They are electrical or mechanical;
• baskets are convenient for storing small items. Equipped with rollers and guides.

Facades

The interior filling, thought out to the smallest detail, will sharply discord with the unsuccessfully chosen facades. It is the facades that give the entire cabinet a special finished look. Let's consider several options for their implementation.

Mirrored

The mirror visually enlarges the space and makes the room brighter. It can be whole or divided into several parts. The large weight of the mirror determines the need to select high-quality and reliable rollers. Such a facade creates additional hassle for maintenance - the mirror gets dirty quickly. It will have to be wiped and washed regularly, especially if the family has small children.

For facade mirrors, a variety of finishes are used - sandblasting patterns and drawings, dusting of all kinds of shades (silver, emerald, gold, etc.) for glass, printing color images and much more. For safety reasons, the mirror is covered with an anti-shock (armored) film on the inside. If the mirror breaks, the debris will not fly apart.

Glass

Glass is no less popular than a mirror; the facades are equipped with an unbreakable one. Frosted glass with a pattern is mainly used. Vertical, horizontal stripes look original, dividing the canvas into separate squares.

MDF and chipboard

These materials are laminated with foil. The facades look massive and heavy. You will need reliable roller systems to install them. One of the advantages is a huge selection of colors, shades and patterns, in texture - from matte to bright glossy.

Photo printing can be applied to MDF and chipboard facades.

These are the main types of facades used in the manufacture of sliding wardrobes. You can combine them with each other. This article contains photographs with a considerable number of original ideas for the manufacture of facades.

Step-by-step manufacturing instructions

Bonding edge tape

After cutting all the elements, the edge tape is glued to the ends of the board. The sequence of operations performed:

Instructions for gluing the edge to the end face of the workpieces
	If there is no assistant, you can use a simple trick. You will need a small box and a quick-release clamp. The clamp presses the board against the box, ensuring the stability of the workpiece and the convenience of gluing the edging tape.
	One side of the edge band has an adhesive surface. When heated to a high temperature, it can be easily glued to the workpiece.
	Cut the hem to the required length. Leave a margin of 1 cm around the edges. You can cut it off after gluing with ordinary scissors.
	For gluing, set the position of the temperature sensor of the iron to "2".
	For safety, wear two gloves on your left hand. There should be no pellets in the palm of your hand.
	Run the iron along the edge band and hold it with your left hand (even).
	We run the iron in the opposite direction, at the same time with a gloved hand, firmly press (smooth) the edging tape.
	Smooth the edge with your hand a few more times.
	Application of a special roller. Glue the edging tape with an iron and then roll it with a roller. Very comfortably.
	The cooled tape, carefully cut off the remnants with a sharp knife from the end.
	We get such a slice.
	We repeat the procedure for all ends of the workpiece. We measure the tape with a margin of 1 centimeter, from each edge.
	We glue it with an iron and smooth it.
	Cut off the cooled edge. The edge is already glued on the adjacent edge, we make the cut very carefully.
	Cut off the longitudinal remnants of the protruding edge from all sides.
	Result. We glue the ends of the remaining blanks with an edge tape.
	All sections are sanded with a special bar. The inner part is filled with foam rubber, the outside is a fine-grained abrasive.
	Grinding of the sections is done only with longitudinal movements.

The processing of the main elements is carried out in the same way.

Assembly

The details are cut according to the project. This operation is best done in a workshop on a special formatting machine. After cutting and gluing the edges, we assemble the cabinet:

Frame assembly instructions
	For work, you will need to assemble an additional device consisting of a metal strip and two pieces of boards connected by an angle. It turns out a corner with a metal guide. You will also need two quick-clamping clamps. With this device it is very convenient to connect workpieces at right angles.
	We do a square check - it should be 90˚.
	Set aside 70 mm from the top edge.
	In the example, a 16 mm plate is used, therefore, it is necessary to retreat 9 mm from the edge. Why not 8 mm? Because the slab protrudes 1 mm beyond the edge, forming a small side. The middle of the end of the adjoining slab is at a distance of 9 mm.
	Drilling mark.
	A similar mark is placed below.
	Using a drill, we make holes for the fasteners.
	A special drill replaces three at once. It allows you to make a main hole, belt and chamfer in one operation.
	Drilling.
	We tighten the confirmation with a screwdriver.
	Having secured the sidewall, according to the project, we mark the installation locations of the shelves.
	Next, using a square, we put marks on both sides under the holes for attaching the shelves.
	Marks on which holes for confirmation will be drilled.
	The device assembled at the beginning of work is convenient to use for attaching shelves. We measure with a tape measure 1/2 of the plate thickness. The thickness of the slab is 16 mm, so we retreat from the mark by 8 mm.
	At this level, we install the shelf using quick-clamping clamps.
	It is clearly seen here that the mark is in the middle of the end of the workpiece. Everything is ready for drilling.
	We drill.
	We twist the confirmations.
	Install the remaining shelves in the same way.
	Install the cross member. And we fasten each shelf with confirmations.
	Having fixed the crossbar with a quick-clamping clamp, we twist it with confirmations from above and below, after which we fix each shelf.
	This is how the lower part of the wardrobe is assembled. We clamp the strip from the plate with a clamp and fix it from the end with a confirmation.
	From below we drill shallow holes for installing furniture legs.
	We twist a metal sleeve with an external and internal thread.
	Using the hexagon, we tighten (recessed) to the required position.
	We twist a leg with a plastic support into the sleeve. Thanks to this, the furniture can be moved and leveled.
	Two pieces of support leg assembly.
	After assembling the cabinet, a fiberboard sheet is attached to its back side with ordinary nails.
	We start fixing the fiberboard from the top. By tilting the cabinet from side to side, we achieve a 90˚ angle between the side panel and the top bar. We nail the side and bottom sides of the fiberboard sheet.
	During the assembly, no such plastic furniture corners were used. Why? The use of a confirmatory is much more practical, since it is screwed into the plate by a few centimeters and reliably connects the structure, giving it additional rigidity.
	We close the caps of the confirmations with a decorative plug.

In the same operating sequence, you can assemble a sliding wardrobe of any configuration.

Manufacturing of doors

The door consists of a frame, metal guides and a system of rollers. It is worth ordering it in a company professionally dealing with such systems. Specialized software for the given dimensions will calculate all the elements and issue a complete specification for the assembly. Mirrors or plates from other materials are cut to the size of the doors for fastening to frames.

Elements for a sliding system
	Vertical uprights / handles for door side sections.
	Sealing rubber for the mirror.
	Self-adhesive brush to soften the impact of doors when opening / closing them.
	Brackets for fixing doors in extreme positions.

The main parts for door assembly are made of aluminum. All metal components must be covered with a protective film that protects them from scratches during transportation.

Assembling the sliding system

Consider the step-by-step assembly of the door leaf. In our example, there will be two flaps from the mirror.

Ready-made wardrobe

Door assembly instructions
	The door is located in a horizontal position and provides free access from all sides.
	In the upper part of the vertical post, which simultaneously serves as a door handle, we drill two mounting holes.
	The lower one is 6.5 mm in diameter.
	The top hole is 10 mm. Through it, the upper door profile and roller will be attached.
	The lower part of the same vertical profile. The top hole is 10 mm, the bottom hole is 6.5 mm. The distance from the edge of the first hole is 7 mm, the second is 43 mm. The lower roller will be attached closer to the edge. The second hole is for the screw connecting to the profile.
Profile installation	From above we fix the rubber seal with a profile, carefully inserting it.
	The procedure is performed sequentially on all faces. We do not cut the rubber seal at the corner, but continuously lay it around the entire perimeter.
Should not be tightened completely	This screw is not fully tightened. Later, the upper rollers will be installed in it.
	Install the upper rollers and tighten the screw until it stops.
	Rubber seal installed at the bottom of the door.
The screw with the upper roller is also tightened.	At the top, we fix the second pair of rollers.
	Install the lower roller. We squeeze the spring on the roller and carefully insert it into the hole, fasten it with a screw.
	The screw is tightened with a hexagon.	Cabinet with the first door installed.
	In the same sequence, we collect and mount the second door.

Additionally, we install auxiliary elements - a pipe for hangers, etc.

The hallway will be incomplete if it does not have a solid roomy wardrobe. It is not at all necessary to buy it, since the manufacturing process is quite simple.

Spacious wardrobe in the hallway niche

The advantages of this option:

• you can choose any project that is most suitable for the hallway in style, parameters;
• designers do not have to pay for the development of an individual project;
• material costs are minimal.

The main thing is that the furniture in the hallway is roomy, compact, neat, not pretentious.

Details that need to be considered when designing.

• must be exact dimensions;
• the presence of a crossbar to place the hangers;
• hooks for clothes for every day;
• one or more shelves for hats;
• cabinet for storing shoes.
• mirror;
• small drawers for small items (gloves, scarves, etc.).

Furniture fittings for the wardrobe in the hallway

To assemble the wardrobe in the hallway with your own hands, the following tools and accessories are prepared in advance:

• guides for installing boxes;
• tires, if a "coupe" with a sliding system is conceived;
• hinges and handles for doors;
• clothes hooks;
• the number of nails, screws, self-tapping screws calculated in accordance with the project;
• wooden fasteners are also needed: confirmations, dowels for assembling furniture;
• furniture corners (metal, plastic) and plugs;
• you cannot do without a standard set of tools (a screwdriver, a drill, an electric jigsaw, a saw for wood, a key for furniture confirmations, a mallet, a clamp, a square and a building level).

DIY cabinet assembly tool

It is better to take materials that are inexpensive and easy to process. For example, even experienced manufacturers will not undertake to make furniture from solid wood.

• Particleboard is the most acceptable option for a future DIY product. This material is elementary to cut and process. The building material weighs a little, so it does not need reinforced fasteners or accessories. An important fact is the low cost.

  

  Chipboard wardrobe with mirrored door

• Plywood is a lightweight, durable and denser material that can be used to make curly pieces and cut patterns.

  

  Spacious eco-friendly plywood cabinet

• MDF can be subjected to various types of processing (painting, toning, staining, etc.). It is less durable than plywood.

  

  Sliding wardrobe and MDF cabinet in the hallway

• Fiberboard must be purchased for the back walls of the elements.

• Wooden beam for frame construction.

  

  Wooden bar for the frame of a homemade cabinet

• Edged boards (usually pine).

  

  Edged board (pine)

• Plasterboard for equipping the interior space with built-in niches.

  

  Homemade drywall closet in the hallway

The most responsible approach is to take measurements. With the assumption of a miscalculation, all subsequent work will be difficult or nothing at all. There are various ready-made options with suitable sizes. If the finished drawings are not suitable, and the drawing skills are weak, you need to involve a specialist for this stage, who will think over the project with the required dimensions. It is better to cut materials and make edging of end parts in a store where building material is sold. The store's services are inexpensive, but significant time is saved.

Assembling the wardrobe

This model belongs to the built-in, it is easier to manufacture, since the parts do not need to be calculated and cut out. The complexity of this option is that it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the walls and floors.

The ideal solution for such furniture would be a niche with a sliding system, equipped with several shelves, a hanger bar. The installation of the sashes in this case is the same as for interior doors (the wall and the floor are involved).

Very often, a wardrobe is made in the corner of the room. This model does not have one side and back wall (and in some cases it does not have a floor or ceiling).

The base consists of a wooden frame, which consists of a pair of frames (front and side), assembled on screws or nails. If the project provides for the arrangement of shelves and partitions, transverse slats must be fixed on the frames in the designated places.

Instructions

Mark the walls, floor, ceiling in the places where the frame will be installed, drill holes for fasteners. It is recommended to mark the places of the paper clips as well.

We make markings for the shelves, set the corners

Fasten the front frame to the wall and ceiling with dowels. Check its verticality by applying a level.

We put and fasten the shelves to the corners, we install the vertical panel to the shelves inside the cabinet

Install the side frame.

In the resulting niche, wooden slats intended for shelves are attached to the walls (cut the shelves out of plywood or chipboard). You can not fix the shelves by laying them on the slats or fix them with nails.

Lay a horizontal shelf on top of our structure.

The side is sheathed with plasterboard or laminated chipboard. Plasterboard is pasted over or painted. The side part, in which the crossbar with shoulders will be located, must be strong (chipboard, plywood, but not drywall).

We prepare panels for the front side of the cabinet

Fixing the bottom and top panels

The final stage is the installation of sliding doors. The top and bottom rails are mounted on the ceiling and on the floor, respectively.

Installing door guides

It is very important to observe exact dimensions here. First, they try to install the layout of the future door. Take any part, the height of which is the same as that of the door, and set it inside the top tire. Check the verticality value and mark the area where the lower guide will be attached. The door must first be inserted by slightly pressing on the upper rollers, and then into the lower tire. To correct the position of the door leaf, adjusting screws are used. A correctly installed door moves smoothly, unimpeded.

We insert the doors into the guides, snap the latches and adjust the mechanisms in roller systems

The above example is suitable for a simple, small design with two halves. With a good hallway area, there is the possibility of making a more spacious model. Then a frame made of bars will not work. It is better to make the base from chipboard, and "fasten" its elements with the help of a common floor and ceiling. This method will allow you to place in a niche, in addition to shelves and rails for hangers, boxes for small items and other details.

Such a product will be assembled as a designer for dowels and confirmations. For this fittings, it is necessary to pre-drill the holes. All this must be done especially carefully and patiently. All fastenings for corners are kept in a clamp for 24 hours.

Built-in two-door wardrobe in the hallway

Corner cabinet assembly

It will not be difficult to make a corner module with your own hands. For stability, modules are often made of durable solid materials (chipboard, plywood). Such products come in several forms:

• triangle;
• L-shaped;
• trapezoid;
• five-walled.

Basic configurations of corner cabinets

The most suitable for a hallway is a five-walled one.

This is the easiest process, because everything that is needed for the job is sold by a building materials store.

The structure includes: an outer frame, several shelves with partitions. The width of the structure depends on the maximum shoe size, and the height depends on the number of shelves.

Facade additive and shoe cabinet clearances

A good solution would be to combine the shoe cabinet with the elements of the chest of drawers. Or put it in a sliding wardrobe or corner wardrobe, which have open facades.

There is a lot of various information on the Internet on how to make a wardrobe in the hallway with your own hands. Therefore, by examining all the available data, the most suitable model can be successfully constructed.

A sliding wardrobe is an excellent solution for rooms with limited space. The doors slide open, like on a train, which allows you to install the cabinet in small hallways and narrow corridors. A similar design is offered in all furniture salons, however, the typical dimensions are not always suitable for your room size. You can order a wardrobe designed according to your measurements based on the characteristics of your premises, but the cost of one copy doubles. For those who need a cabinet larger or smaller than a standard cabinet, there is another solution - to assemble the structure with your own hands. This is not very difficult to do if you know where to start.

Choice of cabinet design and placement options

Placement of the cabinet in a niche. Living space designers are sometimes very resourceful, which is why half of typical houses have niches of unknown purpose in the hallway. It is in this niche that you can make a wardrobe. To do this, you will need to install door guides and order the doors themselves with fittings. This way you save space, time and money.

Wardrobe along the entire length of the wall. A good solution is to arrange a cabinet along the entire length of the wall. Firstly, the room is not broken by the corners of furniture and visually does not lose space. Secondly, such a cabinet can serve not only as a wardrobe, but also as a storage room where skates, skates, skis and even car tires are stored.

A sliding wardrobe can separate the hallway area from the living area in studio apartments. The wardrobe is installed in the entire width of the room, a through sliding door is made in its center, and on the sides there are compartments for clothes. Some people prefer to have all doors on both sides, which allows access to clothes from the hallway and bedroom at the same time. A very convenient option when access to outerwear is from the hallway, and access to bedding is from the living area.

Materials (edit)

The most optimal for creating a cabinet is chipboard and MDF of high or medium density. This material is not very expensive and is relatively dense. But when choosing a chipboard, be sure to pay attention to its category (should be E-1) and the coating (preferably laminated from all sides). Chipboard, when heated, emits formaldehyde and phenol, so if there are heating pipes in your hallway, then do not risk it and choose another material. Another disadvantage of chipboard can be considered a weak retention of screws.

MDF is safe for humans, because when heated, lignin is released, which is contained in natural wood. True, the price of MDF is significantly higher, and it is a fire hazardous material.

Wood is a traditional material, however, if you plan to make a built-in wardrobe, then it is better not to use it. The concrete wall creates additional moisture, and the spruce and pine, from which boards are usually made, have a low moisture resistance.

It is better not to use drywall, because this material is not for the manufacture of supporting structures. It is fragile and if you do not think over the complex structure of the base, it will not hold the doors of the wardrobe.

One of the possible options is the preliminary design of the cabinet, and then the purchase of ready-made components in stores, or the creation of such components to order in the workshop (it is still cheaper than buying ready-made furniture).

What to consider when designing

When designing your own wardrobe, consider the following:

• useless space (this is what takes up space, but is not used for its intended purpose. In the specific case, this is a sliding system. It is necessary to lay 10 cm on it and add to the useful space, which should be at least the width of the hanger. Thus, the depth of the wardrobe with the standard bar is: the width of the largest hanger + 10 cm for the convenience of placing things + 10 cm for the door mechanism);
• if you are assembling on the floor (do not mount the cabinet in a niche or directly to the wall), then the height of the structure must necessarily be lower than the ceiling height in the hallway by at least 10 cm at a depth of 70 cm, and preferably even more so that you can raise it and put the cabinet upright;
• if you plan to put the cabinet on adjustable support legs, then lay a place for them next to the nearest partition (no further than 30 cm from it);
• the rigidity of the structure is provided by transverse ribs on the rear wall of the cabinet, without them the structure will stagger;
• if space does not allow installing a cabinet with a standard longitudinal bar, lay several sections for the cross bar;
• when designing drawers, lay 7 mm between the fronts on the downward protruding width of the lower rail. If this is not done, the boxes will not close;

• the most important thing when designing internal sections is to take into account the width of the sliding structure! Therefore, decide in advance on the number and width of the doors in order to then adjust the entire system to them. If the width of the door does not match the width of the chest of drawers, the drawers will not open. Bulkheads between compartments must coincide with the boundaries of the doors;
• the shelves have a distance of about 30 cm;
• the compartment for hanging clothes is calculated based on the length of the longest thing and another 10 cm is added to it;

In any closet, especially if it is alone in the apartment, there should be sections for storing outerwear, shoes, hats, linen, bedding, suitcases, pillows, blankets, dresses, jackets and trousers. The picture shows the optimal placement of the sections in the wardrobe for the hallway.

Drawings can be made in design programs: "Astro Furniture Designer", "Pro 100", "bCAD" and others.

The entrance hall is the first thing they see when entering the apartment. Often the choice in stores is the same, and it is not easy to find furniture for the corridor. And if it is not large, then the closet may simply not enter or take up the whole place. In this case, you can make the furniture for the hallway yourself. In addition to saving money, you get a customized model that suits your space.

What furniture is needed for the hallway

The main rule for furniture in the hallway, it should be roomy, compact, with a neat appearance. Do not over-decorate it. In addition to decoration, it has the function of storing things. You should carefully consider the size, the presence of drawers and cabinets. It is better if there are more of them, but it is necessary to make a start from the area of ​​the corridor, it is not necessary to overload.

Hooks of an unusual shape on the wall look beautiful, plus a shoe rack.

Looks original, in the presence of a large hallway, a wooden bench, it will give the interior a zest. A win-win option for a wardrobe, it will fit into any interior. A wardrobe closet, if space permits, is an ideal solution, it is comfortable and spacious.

For small sizes, it is worth using:

• built-in wardrobes - take up a minimum of space,
• mirrors and light finishes will visually expand the space.

Do-it-yourself hallway furniture

With the help of the right project, even a small area can be transformed, and the hallway will look organic and spacious.

The design of this room should be combined with the interior of the entire apartment. It is permissible to choose a different decor or floor covering that is different from other rooms, but the stylistic direction should be the same.

Practicality

When choosing a model, you should pay attention to practicality. With a small hallway, it is worth stopping at the standard version and choosing multifunctional furniture: compartments for things, shoes.

A compromise between capacity and external beauty is a corner cabinet. It looks small, but it has a lot of depth, so it is roomy.

If you have a large family, you need to think over a place for the things of each inhabitant of the apartment.

An entrance hall is a room into which dirt rushes from the street. Therefore, you should not do it in light colors, it will quickly get dirty. And such things as: umbrellas, strollers, bicycles, it is undesirable to carry deep into the apartment, it is worth providing a storage system for them in the corridor.

Individuality

Everything that is done with your own hands, including furniture, is always the embodiment of your ideas and desires. You can decorate the hallway with decor to your taste and give it individuality. Such furniture will be one of a kind, and not massively produced at a factory, and guests will be surprised at its exclusivity.

What you need to work

Having chosen a model, having made a drawing, you should prepare everything that is required for work: material, accessories, tools.

Depending on the type of furniture, fittings are needed different:

• sliding wardrobe - guides for drawers, tires for a sliding system;
• wardrobe with swing doors - hinges, handles, locks;
• hooks for clothes.

Instruments

You should stock up on the following tools:

• saw or jigsaw;
• screwdriver or screwdriver;
• sandpaper;
• with a knife;
• screws;
• tape measure;
• corners;
• loops;
• plugs;
• special wooden fasteners;
• clamp.

This is a basic set that can come in handy when crafting furniture.

We make the hallway ourselves: the choice of material

The choice of material is of great importance, it should not be taken too expensive. In addition, it must be easy to handle and safe for health.

Suitable: plywood, chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, furniture board, edged board, wooden block, drywall - they have a long service life and good quality.

• Wood. Wood is an environmentally friendly material, so it is perfect for an apartment. It never goes out of fashion, and the furniture from it speaks of the wealth and excellent taste of the owners. A wooden hallway will harmoniously fit into any style. You can make carvings on it, thereby giving individuality. Different species are used for the manufacture of furniture: oak, birch, pine, beech, walnut. The only drawback is the high price, but given the long service life, this cost will pay off.
• Furniture board. It is made from natural materials, therefore it is safe for health. Looks exquisite and lasts a long time. The cost is high, but below the tree.
• Chipboard. Chipboard is a common and convenient material for making a hallway on your own. It is easy to cut and process, it weighs little, and there is no need for reinforced fasteners. With all the advantages, it is affordable.
• Plywood .. Has the same qualities as chipboard, but more dense and durable. From it, you can make not only parts with curved lines, but also make a cut pattern.
• MDF. Slightly less durable than plywood. But it has endless processing possibilities: painting, toning, staining.
• Fiberboard. It is used only for the manufacture of the back wall of cabinets.
• Wooden bar. Designed for collecting frame structures.
• Edged boards. A relatively expensive material, the most affordable are pine boards.
• Drywall. Built-in niches are equipped with drywall.
• Mirror or glass. Glass or mirror inserts will decorate any room, and you can't do without a mirror in the hallway. However, they are heavy, you cannot cope with them alone.

Choosing a hallway depending on the type of room

When developing the design of the hallway, you need to take into account the characteristics of the room and the number of household members. It is necessary to decide on the functional accessories of the hallway so that it is practical and comfortable. With a small area, the beauty of the wardrobe will not be visible and it will look bulky. It is better to choose a corner version of the hallway. In addition, there should be enough shelves and hooks for all family members.

The correct solution is to install furniture along a long wall.

Normal hallway: instructions, diagrams and drawings

Making a simple hallway yourself is not difficult. It includes: a hanger, a shoe rack, a small pencil case or a chest of drawers with a mirror.

For this you will need:

• loops;
• furniture board;
• plywood;
• grooved boards;
• three-dimensional rail .;
• pens.

The first thing to start with is a pencil case. For this, strips of the required size are cut out of the shield, a cover for the top (with an overlap) and shelves. The assembly is not difficult - the strips, with the help of self-tapping screws, are attached with a lid, the shelves are installed in the same way. For the strength of the structure, corners are cut out of plywood and fixed in the corners. A door is made from the shield, which is mounted on 3 hinges.

Now we make the curbstones. If desired, you can make only one pedestal. For manufacturing, you need 2 sidewalls of the same size and a bottom that will connect them together. The lid should be made smaller than the bottom. All parts are fixed with glue and self-tapping screws. Doors are cut from the shield and attached to the hinges. If there is a drawer, runners are required. You can make them yourself from plywood, but it is better to buy them (the box will roll out easily on them). The second pedestal is made according to the same principle as the first.

Now, the whole structure is being assembled. The prepared boards are fixed to the edge of the pencil case and to the pedestal - this will be the base of the hanger. From above, the boards are connected with a rail for strength. Hooks for clothes are attached to the rail, and a shelf for hats is screwed on top.

The final stage is the installation of handles and varnishing.

Corner option: instructions, diagrams and drawings

It is easy to make a corner hallway with your own hands, but in order for it to be stable, you need to use a solid material: chipboard, plywood. The module consists of 2 parts, which are connected at right angles. In addition, you should decide whether the walls themselves will be the frame or the base. If the walls are even, then you can do without a frame, fix the shelves directly to the walls - this will be economical.

Manufacturing principle:

• a drawing is made in size, areas of attachment of the shelves are marked;
• Chipboard is cut with a jigsaw;
• holes are drilled for dowels on the front side of one panel and at the end of the other, holes are made for confirmations;
• the dowels are greased with glue and the sidewalls are assembled;
• shelves are attached to confirmations, clothing hooks.

If necessary, you can attach a mirror to the door or make compartment doors, thereby creating a corner wardrobe.

Do-it-yourself non-standard hallway: drawings and diagrams

If you have a non-standard corridor that does not fit the wardrobe or hallways sold in the store, you can resort to an original and simple solution. For example, the presence of a bedside table or shoe rack, plus a hanger and a mirror.

You should start from the bedside table. 2 sides of the same size, base and cover are cut from the furniture board. If there are skirting boards, then the corners are cut from the sidewalls (on one side). The back wall is made of plywood. All parts are fastened with self-tapping screws. Drawer runners and shelf mounts are made inside. The doors are screwed on with hinges.

A hanger in the hallway is an essential element. It is not difficult to make it and you can give free rein to imagination. For lovers of eco-style and everything natural, tree branches are suitable instead of a hanger. Those who prefer country style need a vintage version.

Capabilities of the wardrobe: instructions, diagrams and drawings

Sliding wardrobe is an excellent choice for the hallway, it can be built-in or separate. If there is a niche, shelves are mounted in it and it is equipped with a sliding system.

The work process for the manufacture of a cabinet with side walls:

1. A wooden frame is being made.
2. The place for the cabinet is determined. Holes are made on the walls, floor, ceiling to fix the frame.
3. The front frame is attached to the wall and ceiling with dowels, and then the side frames.
4. Rails for shelves are mounted inside. The shelves themselves are cut from plywood.
5. The sides are sheathed with plasterboard, then pasted over or painted as desired.
6. Guides are mounted on the floor and ceiling.
7. Doors are installed - first in the upper tire, and then in the lower one. Doors should move freely, their position is adjusted with screws.

You can make a wardrobe of different sizes and models, depending on preferences and the area of ​​the room.

Hallway furniture can really be made by yourself. The models are quite simple and small in size. And if you have imagination, you can turn an ordinary hanger into a piece and unique thing.
