Shelf simple wall. Beautiful and original shelves with their own hands

Those times have long passed when the handling of furniture was considered a lot of poor people. In each apartment or house there were cabinets, walls, shelves and other furniture made according to a single pattern. What kind of design could we talk at this approach?

Today it is easier to choose the appropriate furniture, but it does not always correspond to the wishes of the owner or the preferences of the hostess. In addition, it is often happening so that exactly what you need and cannot find, for example, a suitable mounted shelf. In this case, there are 2 options: order its production in the workshop, hoping that you understood, and the product will be good quality or you can make the shelves on the wall with your own hands, which will be a good and convenient addition of intended design.

Thanks to the modern universal tool, the homemade craftsman can make almost any shelf, even in the conditions of the apartment, not to mention the work in his workshop. However, before being taken for the tool, it is important to determine the type of the designed shelf. This will help the table in which the design features of wall shelves and their application are described.

Type of wall shelf	Description
Classic	It is believed that the classic is part of an ancient culture that has come down to us. It is also called a generally accepted sample style. The shelves made in the classic style are characterized by simplicity in the manufacture and uncomplicated form, so they are easy to do at home.
Corner	The angular shelves have a triangular shape and are attached directly to two walls. Most often it is a small design, placed in the bathroom or in the room, where other types of shelves will interfere. Also, the angular shelves can be outdoor.
Hinged	Hinged shelves are intended only for hanging on a flat surface and most often are above average. Such a location allows not to occupy the free space of the room.
Outdoor	Outdoor shelves can not only stand on legs, but also, for greater stability, be attached to the wall, especially when they are narrow and high. Most often these are shelves type shelves or vertically spaced modes.
Mods	The word modus is often used to designate species of forms. For this reason, the shelves with different sizes of the used parts began to call mododules. Sometimes it can resemble abstractionism. Different types of modes can occur in a particular room of the room.
Exclusive	This is not a separate section, but the collection of all extraordinary and non-standard. You can store the shelves from old suitcases that taught their TV and even water pipes. There is no limit for imagination.

Make a functional or decorative shelf on the wall is completely simple. It is worth discussing only some nuances regarding the choice of material and the fastening method. Thus, experts do not recommend using the connection of the wanks, since it is too thin material. If you need to disguise fasteners, take the billets from strong wood, for example, oak, nut or beech.

If you plan to build a chippers from chipboard, the optimal connection option will be furniture configmatics. When buying, please note that the fasteners should be for wood (there are configmatics for plastic and plumbing). If you buy unsuitable confirmates, for example, for plumbing, then such furniture quickly looses. It is very easy to distinguish the furniture configmatics - there is a nest for the hexagon in their head, and the set is decorative plugs in the wood. For comparison, sanitary confirmation nest under the Cross.

If you connect plywood parts configmatics, they will quickly cut down, since the furniture bolts are designed to work with a homogeneous material. Therefore, if you want to build plywood shelves, you collect them, inserting horizontal parts into the grooves selected on the sidewalls. To make them, you will need special carpentry tools.

If the assembly of the shelf involves crossing the parts when the end is superimposed on the end, none of the above fasteners will fit. In this case, it is necessary during the design to trace so that the place above the end is free. High load shelves need to be strengthened with spacers or pins. As a tightening rod, a metal pipe or a steel bar with a diameter of 8 mm can be used, and the spacer itself can be made from a polypropylene tube of a suitable diameter. Such a regiment will be interesting to look in the interior in the style of high-tech or loft.

As for the fastening method directly to the wall, then many want to hang the shelf in cliffs from ribbons or on the ropes, which is not always appropriate, although it looks beautiful. It will be wrong with the installation of a loop under fasteners in the wall to the ends of horizontal parts, especially for plywood or chipboard. In this case, the longer there will be a self-sufficiency, the faster the shelf will slap. And at the end of all this, the front edge will inevitably be.

The hinged shelf must be designed so that the suspension loops are in the upper edges of the vertical links, on which the entire load. Professional furniture makers when creating wooden carved shelves on the wall, which do not have through horizontal connections, often do not follow this rule, however, thoroughly calculate the strength of the structure.

Tree is the most convenient material for work. Wooden shelves are simple, complex shape, open and closed, vertical, horizontal and angular. Taking the basic option as the basis, you can assemble the shelf of several modules and give it the most incredible appearance. In order for the product for a long time, it should be properly choosing wood: the boards must be perfectly smooth, completely dry, without cracks, emptiness and mold traces.

In the process of assembly, you will need:

hacksaw;
drill;
building level;
pencil and ruler;
boards with a thickness of 16 mm;
morilka;
wood varnish;
schlifmashinka;
self-tapping screws, brackets, dowels.

As an example, a simple rectangular shelf is 250 mm wide, 300 mm high and 1100 mm long.

Step 1. Marking

The boards are placed on the table and tolerate measurements from the drawing. The height of the side walls should be 268 mm, as they will be located between the upper and lower part: the height of the wall + the thickness of the board x 2 \u003d 300 mm.

Step 2. Cut Boards

If the markup accurately corresponds to the scheme, you can start cutting. It is best to use an electrolovka for this, then cuts are perfectly smooth and neat. There should be 2 long blanks and 2 short.

Step 3. Processing of blanks

Before proceeding with the assembly, each workpiece must be seized, covered with mourn and varnish. If the shelf is planned to simply paint, the billets are processed by antiseptic primer - and the life is increased, and the paint is smoother.

Step 4. Build Product

Nutnight board is placed on a flat surface. From the end of the workpiece retreating 8 mm and spend 2 smooth lines parallel to cuts. Now on these lines, you need to mark two points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge, and drill holes there under the self-tapping screw. With the top blank, they do the same. When all the holes are ready, side blanks are installed on the lower board and twist the screws. From above apply the second board and also fix the side walls with self-drawing.

At the end of the side walls, the brackets are fixed, the holes under the dowel drill in the wall, the screws are inserted and tightened so that they performed about 5 mm. Dowels must be located strictly horizontally, so before drilling is planned with a level. Now it remains only to push the brackets on the fasteners and hang the shelf. If you wish, the rear wall of the product can be scored by a piece of plywood, and in front of inserting glass.

In order for such a simple shelf to become more original, you can replace one side wall to replace the vulgar branch. To do this, choose a smooth branch with a diameter of about 7-8 cm with a smooth clean bark, scamped a piece of 28 cm long, cut off all side processes. Chock is treated with primer, dried and covered with varnish. Corah does not need to be removed. After drying the varnish, the blank is inserted between the upper and lower board and firmly fastened with self-draws.

Based on this drawing, you can make various variations of wall shelves. For example, reduce the length of up to 400 mm and produce a 3-4 block immediately. Then install them on each other in the chess and secure with the help of metal plates. Or just fasten them on the wall separately, placing a short distance from each other.

The angular shelves can be the most different heights, and have a different number of levels.

Consider the sequence of the manufacture of a wooden corner shelf from the 20 × 50 mm rails.

After examining the rail, you need to choose the most even, with a minimum number of bitch - of which 2 frames will be made, the size of 40 × 70 cm. For their manufacture, you will need:

- 4 details of 70 cm long;

- 6 parts of 30 cm.

Ram details are preferable to glue, clamping clamps.
Now it is the turn of the manufacturer of the shelves. They can be done:

- typical, gluing several rivers, from which the parts of the desired form are cut and outside the figure rake outside;

- from the sheet of plywood;

- from laminated chipboard. In this case, the cut must be sanded and saked with a furniture edge or somehow differently, at its discretion;

- From the fragment of the old furniture, if the front part is smooth.

The shelves are screwed to the frames and vague.
It remains to fasten the loops and hang in your place the made shelf.

For an angular shelf, a set of 2 loops is best suitable, as in the illustration. If you hang the shelf on a loop with a wide ear, then the shelf can be moved along the wall, and put the second loop.

For the manufacture of shelves for shoes with dimensions 900x350x524 mm to be used by LDSP. The whole design will consist of a lid, the dimensions of which are 900x350x16 mm; walls in the number of pairs of pieces 508x350x16 mm; ribbies 868x508x16 mm; base 868x80x16 mm; from below the position of the shelf 868x334x16 mm; DNA boxes 868x313x16 mm; Shelves in the middle 868x279x16 mm; Drawers separator 313x80x16 mm and walls of boxes, which will be mounted in front, its dimensions are 868x96x16 mm. The assembly will be carried out on confirmates. Once it was completed with the cut, you can move to the drilling of the holes for the confirmates, the wrenches and the police station. Now the edge stick turns. And at the end you can begin to assemble.

Initially, the side walls and ribs are fixed. The next step will be adding the base and from the bottom - the reinforced shelf. Now you can install boxes in the shelf system. Next comes the top cover, which is installed to the rear wall.

The final stage

When the shelf is done for shoes with their own trees, the photo of the manufacturing process of which is presented in the article (see above), the top cover should be fixed by door loops. Power holders can be installed and put the middle shelf. Holes for the power holders can be located at different levels, this will make distances for different shoes, for example, for shoes and sneakers. This can be assumed that the homemade shelf for shoes is ready. But this is not all, its surface must be created, for which it is possible to apply the same method of processing that was described in the case of bookshelves above. Shelf for shoes with its own wood with dimensions suitable for its functions is relatively easy. You can use this technique in the process of work. And if you wish it to be even more comfortable during operation, then its upper lid can be caught in the foam rubber, and after grazing a dense cloth.

To store household items and placement of small household appliances, ordering separate furniture in the room is not always appropriate. For the design of the design, the choice of materials suitable for the interior of the room, and the assembly of the shelves will have to pay money that is always lacking. A cheaper way to solve the issue is to come up with an original design and make the wall shelves with your own hands. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with the variants of such products, their drawings and manufacturing technology described below.

Views of homemade shelves

As you understand, there are countless design solutions for the manufacture and design of shelves. All designs are conventionally divided into 4 groups of attachment:

Classic hinged, installed on the free section of the wall. Most often are designed to store books, so rectangular shape are made. But nothing prevents you from showing imagination and give the product an unusual view by making it square, round or consisting of several parts, as shown below in the drawing.
Corner shelves designed to effectively use the place where 2 walls form an internal or outer angle. Successfully apply not only to the arrangement of literature, but also the location of colors, various souvenirs and small household appliances (for example, a small TV or printer).
Suspended, attached to the wall or ceiling by flexible stretch marks from rope or strings. One of the interesting solutions is a flower shelf suspended on the belts.
Outdoor structures. These include open shoe lockers and racks with a large number of cells for storing a variety of items of either tools.

Note. We say designs divide conditionally, because there is a mass of combined options. For example, wall shelves for books serving can rely on the floor or hang to the ceiling.

For self-making shelves, the following materials are used:

tree and its derivatives - chipboard, MDF, plywood, laminate;
glass;
metal.

Metal chrome tubes here serve as fasteners

Wood materials are easily accessible and well prepared, so apply most often. If you manifest a fantasy, you can make a beautiful shelf of any non-standard form from a tree. In order for the books in less dust in smaller, use a simple solution - put the sliding glass doors, then you will have a cute closet.

Simple locker with glazed

Making a shelf entirely of metal or glass is quite difficult. In the first case, you need to have the necessary tools, up to welding, and in the second you will have to work with tempered glass and special fasteners, it may not hold the load. So these materials are better to use as decorative or fasteners, and the main part is to collect from wood.

Corner shelf with visible fasteners

Making a simple wooden shelf

The simplest shelves on the wall, intended for books and any small things, are a rectangular box collected with their own hands from the board or laminated chipboard. The last option is convenient in all respects - the surface does not need to be processed, only to fit the dimensions and wake the ends with a veneer under the color of the laminated layer.

Council. It is not necessary to buy new chipboard plates if the elements of the old furniture remained at home. To reflect them, it is enough to sharpen unnecessary holes and paste a special film with a pattern under the tree. For example, make a shelf white, as depicted in the photo.

For the assembly of array of wood boards, it is necessary to properly prepare - spread, pollute and round up sharp corners. The procedure for making the hinged shelf is as follows:

Focusing on the drawing, perform marking material under trimming, using a tape measure and a pencil. Cut 4 blanks in size.
Treat the surfaces of the polished boards of varnish, and the ends of the chipboard are shone with a veneer.
On the sidewalls, mark the locations of the attachments and drill holes together with horizontal panels. Twist them with each other furniture screws - confirm and install decorative plastic plugs.
As a back wall, use a white coating list with a white coating, securing it with short screws.

Note. In order for the parts from the wood massif last longer, they should be treated with antiseptic composition before applying varnish.

At the end, screw the mounting brackets from behind or blank holes for hidden wall mounting. If you think it is necessary, you can glazed the shelf in front by setting opening or sliding doors. For details on how the bookshelves are made of wood for a living room or a children's room, told on the video:

How to hang the shelf on the wall

The last stage is the installation of a book shelf on the wall in the planned place. There are 2 ways to install:

on homemade or purchased brackets;
on secret fasteners.

Regardless of the selected fastening technology, the procedure remains unchanged. First of all, you need to mark the drilling point on the wall, focusing on the fixing brackets. At the same time, it is advisable to handle the horizontal line between the points using the construction level. Installation algorithm Next:

Using measurements, determine the position of the points, mark them with a pencil and check the horizontal between them.
Drill holes. Under the brackets, hammer the plastic tubes and tighten the screws so that they perform about 5 mm.
Touch the shelf on the mounting. If it fuses greatly forward, then the screws should be screwed into 1-2 turns.
When mounting on hidden anchor rods (so-called titans) insert them into the holes drilled in the wall, and tighten the key. In the end of the shelter, make the required holes of the desired depth and put it on Titans.

Council. It happens that the floors and ceilings in the apartment are uneven and shelf, suspended by measurements, visually looks curved. Then only the first point is measured, and the second is defined "on the eye" after mounting the product on one bracket.

As a wooden shelf is put on hidden anchors, shown in the next video:

Corner shelves

Such supports are appropriate to do in places where the walls of the room form an internal angle. Similar interior solutions not only look good, but also allow you to effectively use the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. For example, an angular shelf for the printer next to the computer desk will release a place for work and written accessories. Conversely, the shelf installed on the outer corner will be written into the room, so it will have to be taken narrow and minor, which is shown in the picture.

The technology of manufacturing an angular shelf is simple: it is necessary to cut from a laminated chipboard a triangular workpiece, reflect it from the ends and put in place. It is advisable to use secret anchors if you plan to place one or more such supports in the hall. Fastening is done like this:

To put on the shelf on 2 "Titans", sticking out of the walls at an angle, will not come out. Therefore, they need to be located on the one hand, drumped holes in the end of the chipboard and the wall.
In the second face you will need to cut a longitudinal groove where the sliding fastening is inserted.
Do the hole in the adjacent wall, score a plastic plug and screw the steel hook, bent at an angle of 90 °. Its end must be in a horizontal position.
Put on the shelf on the anchors installed on one side. At the same time, the end of the hook will enter the groove and will not give the countertop to fade from the load. The process is described in detail in the following video:

How to make hanging books shelves

Here we offer to consider the creative design of the bookshelf, manufactured from a conventional thick board with a suspension to the rope or twine. The idea is simple: make a beautiful countertop from the board using the firing method, and then tie it to two screws, screwed into the wall. Work is carried out in such a sequence:

Cut the board with electric jigsaw or hacksaw. Treat sharp edges.
Feed the surface by a soldering lamp or a gas burner to black.
Collect the workpiece to consider the top layer of soot and the structure of the wood manifested well.
Drill 2 holes on each side for twine. Apply the lacquer on the board and let him dry.

The resulting shelf without CDs hangs to self-drawing or hooks on the rope. Considering that the horizontal position of the board can be adjusted by the suspension length from one side or another, the crochet level is not needed to the crochet.

After firing and stripping a drawing of a fiber tree manifests itself more clear

Note. If you use 2 belt instead of the rope, then the holes in the shelf will not need to drill, and the end of the suspension is just screwed to the wall, as is done in the photo.

Conclusion

In most cases, make it easing and hanging a wooden shelf - the case is simple. If you have a large tool park, you can take up more serious designs with nickel-plated pipes or artistic forging elements. Applying fantasy and skillful hands, you will probably make the shelves, perfectly harmony with the interior of the house.

Interior items acquired in the store can be attractive, functional and for all properties to meet the requirements of the owners of housing. But only if you make the shelves on the wall with your own hands, it will be possible to decorate the wall with an exclusive thing. This allows you to create a unique subject of the interior with an unusual design.

What materials are allowed to use?

Perhaps, for the implementation of the task of creating a shelf on its own forces, almost any material is suitable, of course, within reason. To add bulky structures from the brick, it is hardly appropriate, as it will additionally shrink free space. However, any of the relatively other materials will be quite suitable:

Wood - Classic option, since the overwhelming majority of users choose it. It is very easy to work with such a material thanks to a small weight (with small product dimensions) and it will last for a long time if it is used to exploit the shelf of the tree in optimal conditions, that is, with a normal value of humidity in the room.
Glass - Such shelves look very modern and will never come out of fashion. True, to create products from this material you need to have a special cutting tool for glass.
Plastic - affordable material. Easy to circulation and is not subject to the formation of mold, as in the case of a tree. Especially if the shelves are built to accommodate on the loggia or balcony.
Metal - To work with such a material, we need a welding machine if a fully metallic shelf is planned. For combined products, it is enough to use the standard set of fasteners, and it is better if these sites are not visible to the eye.
Chipboard or alternative option - Ledp.. The second of the above-mentioned materials is more durable due to increased resistance to humidity in the room, temperature changes and mechanical deformations, for example, abrasion.
Plasterboard - Most often used in the case when the shelf is part of the design of the room, that is, a niche in the wall is formed by means of this material.

The choice of option should be determined not only by the financial capabilities of the owner of the room, but also its skills in the construction area. Otherwise, the material will be irrevocably spoiled, and the exit product will be inactive and generally unsuitable for operation, especially in a prominent place.

Choosing a configuration of the shelf

There is a sufficient number of different types, which allows you to choose the most suitable:

When creating such interior elements, you can use a different amount of material. This is also due to constructive differences:

open-type shelves;
closed structures;
multi-tier shelves;
construction type of console (only one element is present);
non-standard or decorative shelves are created without complying with the right shapes and lines.

In the first case, not only the doors hiding the contents, but also the upper partition. Closed wall shelves created by their own hands, exclude the opportunity to see what is in.

On the video below, various options for shelves are presented, it is possible, some of the ideas you will like it.

For what purposes the shelf is created

Preferably the first thing to determine what purpose this object is made. For example, the bookshelves must have appropriate dimensions sufficient to fit even a large format book.

Important: Before making a shelf for flowers with your own hands on the wall on a balcony or loggia, it is necessary to choose a moisture-proof material for it, since there is a possibility of contacting the surface of the product with moisture.

Balcony shelves for flowers

If you plan to create an additional place to store spices, conservation and other kitchen creations, it is not recommended to do a fully open shelf. It is desirable that the designs are the doors or an external partition. Such elements eliminate the likelihood of falling fragile things. Universal shelves are made from different materials. Such designs can store things of any size and destination.

Style design direction, creating drawing

If the interior is performed in a certain style, then it is better to choose the materials and the shape of the product that will most match the design of the room. For example, a kitchen and loggia made in a rustic style harmonies with wood shelves. Moreover, it is not necessary to carefully process the material, on the contrary, the coarse grinding will not look like in such an interior, but will emphasize the general style direction.

Before the start of installation, it is necessary to prepare the documentary part of the project in addition to the work plan - drawings. This is done not only using your own fantasy, you need to reinforce the drawing with measurements. It is important to correlate the dimensions of the future shelf with the place allotted for it on the wall.On paper should be reflected in addition to the dimensions of the product also the size of all small parts. This will help determine some sequence of actions during operation. After all, if an incorrect start was laid, then in the future work will be stuck due to the inability to continue the installation.

Calculation of materials required tools

To work, you will need a set of tools that may vary:

the electric drill - can easily make the desired number of holes in concrete and in the material;
screwdriver;
saw;
the construction level is used at mandatory, otherwise it will be difficult to create a design with straight lines;
pencil;
rule, roulette;
screwdriver;
a hammer.

The fastener is selected, based on how the material is planned to use as the main one when creating shelves. Its quantity is calculated based on the drawing data. It is necessary to consider that each junction of items should be fixed. Metal elements can be connected by welding seam. The amount of materials is also calculated based on the drawing. Moreover, the value is taken with a margin.

How to make a wood shelf with their own hands

In addition to the above tools, the grinding machine can be useful if the tree used is not high-qualityly processed. For finishing treatment, varnish is used, but it is not necessary, since the option is allowed - without any coating. But then the product will serve less.

Alternatively, the wood is often used by LDSP. As mentioned earlier, such a material has all the important properties that largely prolong the service life of the shelf without the risk of formation of deformations, damage and fungus from high humidity in the room.

Best tree breeds: Christmas tree, pine. Choosing, which one is better, you need to consider that it is more suitable for creating a wood shelf from a tree, since the tree is too light texture. Before starting cutting boards on the specified dimensions, it is necessary to check whether such a moment is counted in the drawings as different widths of vertical and horizontal elements. After all, as they are connected, it is necessary to obtain the design of a single width. But in the case when a fully open shelf is created, then these actions will be unnecessary, since in this case the rear walls and the front doors are not provided.

After preparing the material, it is performed by the Okurization of all elements. This is done in stages using sandpaper of varying degrees of rigidity. So, you first need to treat the tree with a skin No. 40. For more smooth surfaces, emery paper No. 80 and №120 is used. If there are noticeable damage on the material, you can use a special putty for wood.

As a fastener for such a material, typhus screws are commonly used or such a type of fastener as Jerbons. With the help of a screwdriver, all prepared structural elements are connected. After the end of this work, you can consolidate special plugs on each of the screws. This will improve the appearance of the shelf.

In the role of an example, one of the original and easy-to-executive options can be made as you can make the shelves on the balcony or loggia - a wooden suspended shelf with a rope mount:

It is necessary to prepare the material. The length of the boards is determined by the amount of free space, the width must be sufficient to fit in itself, for example, a large format of a book or a flower pot. Thickness is determined by the degree of the load assigned to the design: how it is higher, the thicker takes the board. In order to provide the desired distance between the shelves' tiers, you can use small bars from wood waste.
All elements are drilled by the holes of sufficient diameter, so that a thick rope is fluently through them. In Bruke, one hole is prepared, in the boards - two on each side.
Then the rope is taking each of the elements. Under the lower tier knit knots. From above you need to make a loop so that you can hang the shelf on the hooks previously driven into the wall. For strength, it is better to make sea nodes.

Alternatively, Bruckam, in each of the shelves, you can simply tie the nodes or use small pegs from the tree.

Jeep finished product on the wall of the balcony

At the end of all the work described above, only the shelf will remain on the prepared and liberated place in advance. Purchaising material should take care of how the design will be attached. Walls on loggia or balcony are usually made of brick or concrete. At this stage, a tool for work on a particularly durable material is useful - electric drill. It is important to drill holes at a distance with a minimum error, as the shelves will be carried out problematic.

As can be seen, the independent manufacture of the shelf - the task is not so impossible. Of course, subject to the presence of the necessary tools in the house. For a successful completion of the work, it is important to observe the three rules: decide on the configuration of the shelf, make a drawing, calculate the material.

How to make the shelf with your own hands video

In this section, you can watch a video on which the manufacture of the mounted shelf is demonstrated, which we just told you about.

Bulky, cabinet furniture gradually loses its popularity. It comes to shift light and elegant shelves on the wall, made with their own hands from girlfriend or finished blocks. An interesting and original design of wall shelves allows them to be successfully competing with many interior items and decor, made in the style of country, high-tech or modern.

A wide selection of materials and ideas for the manufacture of similar products makes it possible to use them in almost any subsidiary, economic and residential room.

Features of wall mounches

Wall shelf with their own hands will be relevant absolutely in any interior:

Main varieties of wall shelves

Method of fastening, material for the manufacture and items that will be stored on the shelf, determine the workload on the entire design and on the wall on which it is attached. It is quite natural that the method is largely dependent and the method for its attachment on the vertical surface.

A variety of walls on the wall of the photo, which are presented below, can be used to accommodate pots, vases and porridges with.
In this case, you should take care of the security of family members, as due to the land, which is filled with, the design is exposed to high loads.
For this reason, for the placement of such shelves, you should use a reliable fastening.

Taking into account the design features of wall shelves, they can be divided into the following groups:

closed and open (with or without doors);
straight and corner;
console type;
with side limiters and without them;
through or closed rear wall;
in the form of one plane or rectangular;
single-tier and multi-tiered;
fantasy shape - diamond, inclined.

Among the most popular types of wall shelves can be noted:

In order to make a transparent shelves on the wall with their own hands, you must order a set of glasses of the same forms in a special workshop. For safe use, the ends of the glasses are plastered, after which the blanks are attached in the free corner using brackets.

Glass shelves are suitable for storing books, dear heart souvenirs, cosmetics, shampoos and personal hygiene items.

Materials for wall shelves

Everyone who thinks about how to make a shelf on the wall with their own hands knows that the most different materials can be used for the manufacture of this interior item. Of course, the simplest and affordable option is the usual wooden board, nailed to the wall. That's just to create the modern and original design of the premises of this will not be enough. The choice of materials of even such simple products is very wide.

Wood

Wood shelves do it with their own hands - this is an old, kind classic. You can diversify the wooden structure using complex forms and non-standard mounting. For interiors in Loft style and minimalism, a beautiful and unusual wood shelf will become a relevant solution. For classic design projects, the product can be decorated with carvings, while all design elements must be carefully processed.

For those who want to save on the source material, we recommend using chipboard, MDF or Phaneur, which for quite a democratic money can be purchased at any construction store.

Metal

Metal shelves with their own hands Photo options that you find below are able to perfectly supplement the interiors of minimalism, high-tech and fusion. Installation of such products is impossible without the presence of special skills and tools. Among the advantages of metal structures include their strength, reliability and durability. Special surface treatment will allow to protect the finished shelf from corrosion and give it additional appeal.

Plastic

Currently, plastic is considered an ideal material for the production of various interior and decor items. Practical, light, cheap it may look simple and luxurious, imitating the appearance of natural materials and at the same time, excluding their shortcomings. For rooms with high humidity, the plastic shelf is capable of becoming an ideal option.

Glass or mirror

Glass or mirror shelf is a real decoration of any room. Elegant and glamorous designs made of glass and mirrors are able to give the placement of grace and ease. However, such products have one serious minus - increased fragility. Accidentally fallen object or sharp blow can lead to very sad consequences.

Types of fasteners of the shelves

When choosing one or another fastening method for the future wall shelf, it should be remembered that the mobility and reliability of the entire design depends on your solution. Experts distinguish the following methods for fastening shelves and shelves:

Interestingly and unusually suspended shelves, which are suspended to walls or ceiling. As a flexible foundation can be used:

wicker harnesses;
belts made of natural or artificial leather;
vita weaving from Macrame;
decorative ropes, etc.

With the right approach, the fastener can perform not only utilitarian function, but also become an interesting and unusual decoration. For example, wrought sidewalls can be used as an enhanced mounting for wooden or metal structures and at the same time will become a harmonious addition to the Provence or Country room.

Making a simple wooden shelf

In the process of assembly, you will need:

hacksaw;
drill;
building level;
pencil and ruler;
boards with a thickness of 16 mm;
morilka;
wood varnish;
schlifmashinka;
self-tapping screws, brackets, dowels.

As an example, a simple rectangular shelf is 250 mm wide, 300 mm high and 1100 mm long.

Step 1. Marking

Step 2. Cut Boards

Step 3. Processing of blanks

Before proceeding with the assembly, each workpiece needs to be stolen, covered with a mourn and varnish. If the shelf is planned to simply paint, the workpieces are processed - and the service life increases, and the paint is smoother.

Step 4. Build Product

The lower board is placed on a flat surface. From the end of the workpiece retreating 8 mm and spend 2 smooth lines parallel to cuts. Now on these lines, you need to mark two points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge, and drill holes there under the self-tapping screw. With the top blank, they do the same. When all the holes are ready, side blanks are installed on the lower board and twist the screws. From above apply the second board and also fix the side walls with self-drawing.

Often, to save place the shelves are made by corner, and they can be installed in both the inner and external corner.

Billets are made according to the scheme described above, only the upper and lower board consist of two elements, with cut at the angle of the ends. The process of manufacturing such a shelf is simple enough:

halves of the top board are missing on the ends with glue and clamp with clamps;
repeat the same actions with the bottom board;
when the adhesive dry, all the blanks are covered with a mourn or ground;
on the upper and lower billet, the fastening lines and holes are drilled;
paste the side walls and fix them with self-draws.

Wall-mounted materials	Advantages and disadvantages
Tree: Plywood, chipboard, MDF and others	With this material, it is relatively easy to work, it looks beautiful, naturally and effectively, its service life is quite large, especially if you pre-process
Plastic	This material is the most versatile, it can simulate both a tree and a stone, removing their shortcomings.
Metal	Such wall shelves will be very durable, reliable and durable, but in the classic interior they will fit with difficulty. In addition, corrosion can be a problem, so special processing and conditions will be required for metal products.
Glass	Transparent wall shelves will create an atmosphere of lightness and coziness in the house. Of course, make it with your own hands a glass design will be difficult, but if you, nevertheless, decide to independently do all the work, then with glass will have to work quite a long time and very carefully, especially if various cuts are planned in the shelves design

Original shelves for books

Shelves of non-standard form are becoming increasingly demand, so if you wish, you can try to collect something original. For example, a bookshelf is used in the form of a simplified labyrinth.

For the manufacture you will need:

cutting board with a thickness of 20 mm;
carpentry glue;
clamps;
roulette;
hacksaw;
stuslo;
sander;
morilka;
furniture screws, screws;
decorative police holders.

If everything is necessary, you can start making the shelf.

Step 1. Marking

On the prepared boards with a pencil for a ruler, the cutting lines mark. Measurements should be transferred very carefully, since all horizontal parts have different lengths.

Step 2. Trimming blanks

The ends of each workpiece are cut at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. The scheme indicates the first option, so the stub will need for dipping. It is very important to correctly install a stouch on the board so that the sections are symmetrical. If the ends should not be squeeed, fold the shelf will not work.

Step 3. Build Design

The ends of the parts are smeared with glue, tightly compressed and additionally fixed with furniture screws with a slot. Conventional self-tapping screws are not suitable. Each joint will require at least 2 screws. Both parts of the shelves are applied to the wall, exhibit in terms of the level and mark the attachment point pencil. After that, the holes are drilled under the dowel, screw the brackets to the shelf and hang design on the wall. Instead of brackets, the decorative pollocks "Pelican" are often used.

Hinged shelf on belts

If a decorative shelf is required for small items, the following option is perfect - a board hanging on the belts.

For the manufacture of the shelf it will be necessary:

2 edged boards 300x750 mm, 30 mm thick;
4 leather belt for 75 cm long;
4 long screws with plastic dowels;
4 short self-pressing;
building level;
line;
sharp knife;
drill.

Step 1. Preparation of belts

Belts should be perfectly smooth, so if necessary, they are cut by a knife. Each belt is folded in half, the ends pressed to the table, retreat from the edge of 2 cm and drill a trunk of a neat through hole. The same makes the remaining three.

Step 2. Fastening belts to the wall

On the wall using a level, two points are determined at a distance of 60 cm. Drill holes and plastic dowels are inserted. Folded in half the belt is applied to one of the holes and fix the long screw - it turns out a big loop on the wall. Nearby attach another such loop.

Step 3. Installing Shelves

In the loop, they focus a stinking board and align her horizontally. So that the shelf does not move, adjacent to the wall of the belt parts at the board itself are screwed with short screws. Now, under this shelf, one more one is suspended, repeating the above-described steps. As a result, it turns out a light and neat bunk shelf. If you wish, you can add another 1-2 tier.

For the manufacture of the shelves described above, it is not only a tree, but also to Paneur, as well as sheets of LDSP. The latter option is used most often because LDSP is low weight, high strength, practicality and durability. When assembling the shelves from this material, all sections are necessarily sealed with a melamine edge under the color of the sheet.

Making a glass shelf

Glass shelves fit harmoniously into any interior, and the installation process does not take much time. To work, you will need:

strained glass;
a hammer;
electric drill;
building level;
aluminum profile;
dowels;
adhesive tape;
line;
pencil.

Not everyone knows how to cut the glass correctly, and therefore the cutting of the billets is better to order in the workshop. There will also be performed grinding and polishing the edges so that when installing the shelf does not cut down about sharp edges. Everything else can be done independently.

Step 1. Marking under the fasteners

The site of the wall, where the shelf will hang, must be as much as possible. With the help of the construction level on the wall, the horizontal line is carried out with a pencil. The lines mark the location of fasteners, drill holes.

Step 2. Installing Profiles

Aluminum profile is applied to the surface of the wall and check the matches of fasteners. Then stroke into the holes of the dowels, they are styled with one screw profile and level it horizontally. After that, the rest of the screws are twisted.

Instead of drill insert screw bracket

Screw the screw bracket

Leave the screw bracket to perform from the wall

Check the situation

We have the shelves

Step 3. Fastening Shelves

The rear edge of the glass shelf is closed with adhesive tape. You can use individual strips from the tape, having them there, where the glass will touch the screws of the screws. The shelf is inserted into the profile, the edges of the profile are closed with protective caps. If two shelves come into contact with the sides, their edges are fastened with metal fittings.

If there is free time and the desire of experimentation, you can create a very unusual shelves on the wall of girlfriend. For example, an angular shelf of plastic pipes look original. For its manufacture, you will need segments of sewer pipes and corner bits. The shelf wall is fastened with shuruses with dowels.

Old suitcases and diplomats can also become excellent wall shelves. To do this, they are cut into altitude to half, close the back of the plywood and fix on the wall with the help of screws or on the brackets.

Retractable boxes from unnecessary bedside tables will completely fit for the manufacture of shelves. To give them an elegant look, the boxes should be carefully taken, brew and paint in bright colors. Then they lean them with the rear wall to the surface, mark the fastening sites and drill holes for them. Even one such shelf looks very original, and the composition of 2-3 drawers will become a real decoration.
