We make our own corner. How to make a corner cabinet in the kitchen with your own hands? Manufacturing process: step by step instructions

There is nothing better than shelves for organizing space in rooms, as well as for decorating the interior. comfortable, functional, original form, they help to conveniently arrange a lot of things and give the rooms a more comfortable look. Making shelves on the wall with your own hands is not at all difficult, and you can use a variety of different materials- wood, fiberboard, glass, pieces of tin, plywood.

Types of wall shelves	Description
Classic	This type of shelves is the most common because of its simplicity, aesthetic appearance and ease of installation. They are a huge flight of fancy: from simple squares to creative asymmetric shapes.
corner	This type of wall shelves differs in the method of fastening - it is carried out on adjacent adjacent walls. Most often they are mounted in utility rooms and bathrooms.
Suspended	This original way creating a shelf involves attaching a simple structure to the ceiling using cables or vertical racks
floor standing	This wall shelf is a floor support structure. This type of product is especially relevant in the hallways, as well as large rooms where you don't have to think about wasting space
Open and closed shelves on the wall	Wall shelves can be designed, for example, with or without glass

Making a simple wooden shelf

Wood is the most convenient material for work. Wooden shelves are simple, complex shape, open and closed, vertical, horizontal and angular. Taking the basic version as a basis, you can assemble a shelf from several modules and give it the most incredible look. In order for the product to serve for a long time, you should choose the right wood: the boards must be perfectly even, completely dry, without cracks, voids and mold.

During the assembly process you will need:

• hacksaw;
• drill;
• building level;
• pencil and ruler;
• boards 16 mm thick;
• stain;
• varnish for wood;
• grinder;
• screws, brackets, dowels.

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

Step 1. Markup

The boards are laid flat on the table and measurements are transferred from the drawing. The height of the side walls should be 268 mm, since they will be located between the top and bottom: wall height + board thickness x 2 = 300 mm.

Step 2. Cutting the boards

If the markup exactly matches the pattern, you can start cutting. It is best to use a jigsaw for this, then the cuts are perfectly even and neat. You should get 2 long blanks and 2 short ones.

Step 3. Processing blanks

Before proceeding with the assembly, each workpiece must be sanded, stained and varnished. If you plan to simply paint the shelf, the blanks are processed - this way the service life increases, and the paint lays down more evenly.

Step 4. Assembly of the product

The bottom board is laid flat on a flat surface. 8 mm retreat from the ends of the workpiece and draw 2 straight lines parallel to the cuts. Now on these lines you need to mark two points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge, and drill holes for the screws there. Do the same with the top piece. When all the holes are ready, side blanks are installed on the bottom board and screws are screwed in. A second board is applied on top and the side walls are also fixed with self-tapping screws.

Brackets are fixed at the ends of the side walls, holes for dowels are drilled in the wall, self-tapping screws are inserted and twisted so that they protrude by about 5 mm. The dowels must be located strictly horizontally, therefore, before drilling, a line is drawn using a level. Now it remains only to attach the brackets to the fasteners and hang the shelf. If desired, the back wall of the product can be hammered with a piece of plywood, and glass can be inserted in front.

To make such a simple shelf more original, you can replace one side wall with a stump of a thick branch. To do this, choose an even branch with a diameter of about 7-8 cm with a smooth clean bark, saw off a piece 28 cm long, cut off all the lateral processes. Chock is treated with a primer, dried and varnished. The bark does not need to be removed. After the varnish has dried, the workpiece is inserted between the upper and lower boards and screwed tightly with self-tapping screws.

Based on this drawing, various variations wall shelves. For example, reduce the length to 400 mm and make 3-4 blocks at once. Then install them on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern and secure them together with metal plates. Or simply fix them on the wall separately, placing them at a short distance from each other.

Often, to save space, shelves are made angular, and they can be mounted both in the inner and outer corners.

The blanks are made according to the scheme described above, only the upper and lower boards consist of two elements, with ends sawn at an angle. The process of making such a shelf is quite simple:

• the halves of the top board are smeared at the ends with glue and clamped with clamps;
• repeat the same steps with the bottom board;
• when the glue dries, all the workpieces are stained or primed;
• fastening lines are marked on the upper and lower blanks and holes are drilled;
• insert the side walls and fix them with self-tapping screws.

Wall shelf materials	Advantages and disadvantages
Wood: plywood, chipboard, MDF and others	This material is relatively easy to work with, it looks beautiful, natural and spectacular, its service life is quite long, especially if pre-treatment is carried out.
Plastic	This material is the most versatile, it can imitate both wood and stone, while removing their imperfections.
Metal	Such wall shelves will be very strong, reliable and durable, however, classic interior they fit in with difficulty. In addition, corrosion can also be a problem, so for metal products required special processing and conditions
Glass	Transparent wall shelves will create an atmosphere of lightness and comfort in the house. Of course do it yourself glass structure it will be difficult, but if you, nevertheless, decide to do all the work yourself, then you will have to work with glass for quite a long time and very carefully, especially if various cutouts are planned in the design of the shelf

Original book shelves

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

For manufacturing you will need:

• edged board 20 mm thick;
• wood glue;
• clamps;
• roulette;
• hacksaw;
• miter box;
• Sander;
• stain;
• furniture screws, self-tapping screws;
• decorative shelf holders.

If you have everything you need, you can start making the shelf.

Step 1. Markup

On the prepared boards, cut lines are marked with a pencil under the ruler. 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 diagram shows the first option, so you need a miter box for sawing. It is very important to correctly install the miter box on the board so that the cuts are symmetrical. If the ends are cut off incorrectly, it will not work to fold the shelf.

Step 3. Assembly of the structure

The ends of the parts are smeared with glue, tightly compressed and additionally fixed with slotted furniture screws. Conventional self-tapping screws don't fit here. At least 2 screws are required for each joint. Both parts of the shelf are applied to the wall, leveled and the attachment points are marked with a pencil. After that, holes for dowels are drilled, brackets are screwed to the shelf with self-tapping screws and the structure is hung on the wall. Instead of brackets, decorative pelican shelf holders are often used.

Hanging shelf with straps

If you need a decorative shelf for small items, perfect next option- a board suspended on belts.

To make a shelf you will need:

• 2 edged boards 300x750 mm, 30 mm thick;
• 4 leather belts 75 cm long;
• 4 long screws with plastic dowels;
• 4 short screws;
• building level;
• ruler;
• sharp knife;
• drill.

Step 1. Preparing the straps

The cuts of the belts must be perfectly even, therefore, if necessary, they are cut with a knife. Fold each belt in half, press the ends to the table, step back from the edge 2 cm and drill a neat through hole. Do the same with the remaining three.

Step 2 Attach the straps to the wall

On the wall, using a level, two points are determined at a distance of 60 cm. Holes are drilled and plastic dowels are inserted. A belt folded in half is applied to one of the holes and fixed with a long screw - a large loop is obtained on the wall. Another such loop is attached nearby.

Step 3. Installing the shelf

A polished board is inserted into the loops and aligned horizontally. To prevent the shelf from moving, the parts of the belts adjacent to the wall near the board itself are screwed with short self-tapping screws. Now another one is hung under this shelf, exactly repeating the steps described above. The result is a light and neat bunk shelf. If desired, you can add 1-2 more tiers.

For the manufacture of the shelves described above, you can use not only wood, but also plywood, as well as chipboard sheets. The latter option is used most often, since chipboard is light in weight, high strength, practicality and durability. When assembling shelves from this material, all sections must be pasted over with a melamine edge to match the color of the sheet.

Making a glass shelf

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

• strained glass;
• hammer;
• electric drill;
• building level;
• aluminum profile;
• dowels;
• adhesive tape;
• ruler;
• pencil.

Not everyone knows how to cut glass correctly, and therefore it is better to order cutting blanks in the workshop. They will also perform grinding and polishing of the edges, so that when installing the shelf, you will not be cut on sharp edges. Everything else can be done on your own.

Step 1. Marking for fasteners

The section of the wall where the shelf will hang should be as large as possible. By using building level draw a horizontal line on the wall with a pencil. On the line mark the location of the fasteners, drill holes.

Step 2: Install profiles

An aluminum profile is applied to the wall surface and the conformity of the mounting marks is checked. Then dowels are inserted into the holes, the profile is baited with one screw and leveled horizontally. After that, tighten the rest of the screws.

Instead of a drill, we insert the bracket screw. Screw in the bracket screw. Leave the bracket screw to protrude from the wall. Check the position. Position the shelves.

Step 3 Attaching the Shelf

The rear edge of the glass shelf is closed with adhesive tape. You can use separate spacers from the tape, placing them where the glass will touch the heads of the screws. The shelf is inserted into the profile, the edges of the profile are closed with protective caps. If two shelves touch on the sides, their edges are fastened with metal fittings.

If you have free time and a desire to experiment, you can create very unusual wall shelves from improvised materials. For example, the corner shelf from plastic pipes. For its manufacture, segments will be needed sewer pipes and corner cuts. The shelf is attached to the wall with screws and dowels.

Old suitcases and diplomats can also be great wall shelves. To do this, they are cut in height to half, cover the back with plywood and fix on the wall with screws or on brackets.

Drawers from unnecessary bedside tables are quite suitable for the manufacture of shelves. To give them an elegant look, the boxes should be carefully sanded, primed and painted in bright colors. Then they are leaned back wall to the surface, mark the attachment points and drill holes for them. Even one such shelf looks very original, and a composition of 2-3 drawers will become a real decoration.

Interesting wooden shelf. Master Class

You will need:

• Rope;
• Board at least 2 cm thick;
• 2 corners (mounts) for shelves;
• Steel washers;
• Lighter;
• Drill;
• Saw.

Very often you have to hang shelves on the walls to accommodate all the elements. To rationally plan the interior, it is worth using the corners and, thus, freeing the walls for cabinets and shelving. This requires a corner shelf, which can be made independently from existing materials. The article will cover the main recommendations on how to make corner shelf, as well as the main examples of designs.

Place corner shelves in different rooms

You can install a corner shelf in every room, but in most cases it is great for a kitchen or bathroom. Any housewife will quickly place on it a variety of jars with seasonings, cereals and other kitchen utensils, and in the bathroom such a shelf near the mirror will allow you to accommodate all hygiene products and empty the necessary drawers. It is worth noting that these rooms have a fairly high level of humidity, which means that the tree will need to be additionally treated with antiseptics and applied at least two layers of paint. The best option would be plastic or glass, as they have more advantages:

• resistant to moisture and temperature changes;
• mold and fungi do not appear on surfaces;
• withstand a lot of weight;
• easy to clean;
• A variety of colors will allow the design to fit into any interior.

Also, corner shelves on the wall are a rational option that is suitable for bedrooms, children's rooms and living rooms. Any other furniture can be placed under the shelf, for example:

• nightstand;
• computer desk;
• armchair.

Regardless of what material was used, the design will look spectacular and presentable. All sorts of little things will be conveniently placed on the corner shelf: books, photographs, dishes, candles, toys and much more.

Note! To add more effect to the corner shelf, you can swipe to it LED backlight. With this method, designers give the wall depth.

Necessary materials and tools

Before embarking on planning and manufacturing, it is worth collecting the available materials and calculating: will they be enough? You can make your own corner shelf from a wide variety of materials, for example, such as:

• wooden boards;
• plywood;
• glass;
• plastic;
• window profiles;
• iron and others.

The first 4 options are considered the most common and practical. Everyone will cope with them, besides, it is not required special tool, as is the case with glass or iron. The set of tools in each case will be varied, but if we talk about lumber, then it is worth preparing in advance:

• hacksaw;
• jigsaw (manual or electric);
• saw;
• stationery knife;
• drill;
• sandpaper;
• glue and fasteners;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• paints and varnishes (paint or varnish);
• brushes.

Note! For comparison, when making a glass corner shelf, you will need fewer tools: fasteners (self-tapping screws and dowels), a level, a drill, a felt-tip pen and a ruler.

Step-by-step instruction

1. As the main material is suitable plain board left over from renovations. The width should be selected individually, based on the items that will be placed on it and the place where it will be installed.
2. In addition, for fastening you will need glue with a dispenser and screws (3.0 × 25 mm). As a decor, you can use slats of a semicircular section.
3. We apply markings on the board at an angle of 45 ° of the required length and, using a hacksaw, cut it at an angle of 45 °. As a result, we get 4 shelves.
4. From the remnants of the board, you need to cut racks of the same size (for example, 5 × 20 cm) in the amount of 6 pieces.
5. All elements should be cleaned with sandpaper to perfect smoothness.
6. Let's start building the structure. To each shelf, except for the top one, it is necessary to fix two racks. The markings are applied in the middle, then the elements are fastened with screws. To strengthen the fasteners, use PVA glue.
7. For ease of fastening, the racks of the middle shelf are placed at the edges.
8. The remaining parts of the corner shelf are assembled in the same way.
9. If desired, and if you have free time, you can decorate the shelves using semicircular slats. So, with their help, you can make low handrails so that small or round accessories do not fall out. On finishing stage the shelf is painted.

Note! After the first element has been cut out, it is necessary to attach it to the wall and check the correctness of the calculations. To prevent the board from bursting when fastening, a hole for self-tapping screws is drilled a little smaller than the screws.

Corner glass shelf

To make a small and simple design, it will not take much time and special skills, even if we are talking about the glass shelf. So to be precise and make a design correct sizes measurements need to be made. After that, a diagram is drawn on paper indicating all the parameters obtained.

Glass cutting can be done independently, if there is no tool, then go to a special workshop. Here the masters will be able to cut out the necessary shape in a few minutes. Holders can be:

• metal rods;
• aluminum profile;
• wooden frame.

IN ideal it is worth buying special holders, to which self-tapping screws and dowels for fastening will be included. Holders are fixed on the wall and glasses are put on alternately. Using the building level, evenness is checked. As a result, the cost of the shelf will be lower than the cost of a new one from the store.

Note! For convenience, experts recommend creating a template for a future cardboard shelf. This will avoid inaccuracies.

Only with exact observance of the data obtained after measurements, it is possible to produce a high-quality and reliable product, in particular, a corner shelf. It is very important to measure between the walls, as this angle is not always equal to 90°. As a basis, you can take a variety of materials that gather dust in a barn or garage.

The choice of material and tools for the shelf

Do-it-yourself corner shelf can be made from various materials. Consumers very often make a choice in favor of chipboard, MDF or plywood. Another option may be window profiles, as well as glass.

The choice of tools depends on the material from which you need to create a shelf with your own hands.

Yes, for wooden models worth having:

• electric jigsaw;
• hacksaw;
• a saw with fine teeth;
• drill;
• glue;
• a rail for creating compasses and compasses with a large radius;
• wooden lath for the base of the structure.

If the corner shelf will be made from a window sill profile, then you should purchase the following tools:

• drill;
• hacksaw;
• level;
• self-tapping screws;
• rail to reinforce the rigidity of the edge;
• glue "Moment";
• cable channels.

The least number of tools is required when you need to make a glass corner shelf:

• a set of holders for glass shelves (there are already self-tapping screws and dowels here);
• level;
• drill.

When all the materials and tools for the work are collected, you can begin to create shelves.

How to make a corner shelf

Creating a shelf and its installation is a fairly quick process. Therefore, in a few hours (or less), you can easily transform the room, which can not be compared with the time spent when you need to create a closet. You can make the shelves correctly with the help of step-by-step instructions.

glass shelf

To make such a shelf, you need to follow these steps:

1. A shelf template is created from cardboard.
2. Cutting and processing glass can be done both at home and in a special workshop. But it is the pros who will do all the work on high level, and the consumer will have the opportunity to choose the most suitable material.
3. Holders are being purchased.
4. Next, you need to put the shelf on one of the holders, attach it to the wall and use a pencil to outline the upper limit of its attachment.
5. The first holder is attached, for this, the self-tapping screws and dowels included in the kit are used.
6. The glass is inserted into the first holder, fixed and put on the second. Use a level to level the shelf. Mark the drilling locations with a pencil.
7. The second holder is mounted.

Here is a simple way to make glass shelves at home.

Shelf from window sill profile

The shelf can be given any shape, but you should always remember about right angle base that will be attached to the wall.

Corner shelf from window sill profile.

In order to build a shelf, follow the instructions:

1. The material is marked.
2. Using a hacksaw, a shelf is cut.
3. Further, with the help of a special rail, which coincides with the profile in thickness and length, the frame is reinforced. To do this, put this material on the glue "Moment" and fix it to the edge of the profile.
4. Holes are drilled in the already glued rail.
5. Self-tapping screws are driven into the wall under the holes already drilled in the shelf. During operation, a level is used.
6. The open ends of the structure are hidden behind cable channels selected by thickness. They are stuck on with glue.
7. The shelf is fixed on self-tapping screws.

You can change the color of this design using various adhesive films, matched to the interior.

Thus, an ordinary profile will easily turn into marble.

Chipboard shelf (plywood, MDF)

The fastening of such shelves is done in several ways. The first consists in fitting onto a longitudinal base rail, the second in fixing it in the grooves of the transverse base.

Scheme for the manufacture of shelves from chipboard.

The first method is good because there is no need to drill either tiles or walls:

1. A shelf is cut out of chipboard. To do this, using a compass, you need to draw a circle, divide it into 4 parts and cut each with a jigsaw or a hacksaw.
2. On the base rail, the locations of the shelves and the size of the required groove are marked. The blanks are applied to the rail, and their width is fixed.
3. With a fine-toothed saw, cuts are made to the depth of the middle of the rail, and an unnecessary element is removed with a knife.
4. On the shelf at the base corner, a section is planned that needs to be cut out. In terms of area, it is equal to the depth and width of the groove in the rail.
5. With a fine-toothed saw, according to the marked markings, you need to make a cut and remove an unnecessary element.
6. Next, the shelves are polished, and entry into the grooves is checked.
7. Using glue, the rail must be fixed to the wall, secured with tape and left for at least an hour.
8. Shelves are inserted into the already fixed rail without any other fixation.

In such a simple way, you can make shelving for the living room, bathroom, kitchen, etc.

To make a shelf in the second way, you must first make grooves, and only then take on the main element:

1. In two bars, along the length equal to the size of the sides of the shelf, using circular saw grooves of the required width are formed.
2. These elements are attached to the wall using self-tapping screws or dowels. It is necessary to ensure that their hats are completely recessed.
3. The angle is carefully measured. The measurements are transferred to the material, where the contour of the shelf is drawn.
4. Using a jigsaw or file, an element is cut out.
5. A special tape is used to decorate the edges.
6. When the shelf is completely ready, it is inserted into the grooves.

Just a few hours, and a beautiful decor element is already in place!

Creating a shelf with his own hands, the master takes into account everything: his ideas, the interior, the features of the corner, where this item will be located.

Drawing a corner cabinet will help you assemble it yourself.

If the area of ​​​​the room is small, then each cabinet takes up a lot of space. There is a way out, it is necessary to put one corner instead of several bulky cabinets.

It is very roomy and takes up little space. Learn how to do corner cupboard with your own hands, you can from this article.

Varieties of corner cabinets

Before starting work, you need to find out what shape the future cabinet will be. He can be:

• trapezoidal;
• in the form of the letter "G";
• triangular;
• 5-wall.

Each option is interesting in its own way, when choosing it is necessary to take into account the place where it will be arranged. Be sure to make a sketch or drawing of the planned cabinet, make detailed drawings before work.

When performing calculations, it is necessary to carefully measure the dimensions of all walls, shelves. How to make a standard small cabinet with dimensions of 900 by 900 mm, floor to ceiling height of 2.500 mm, will be discussed in more detail below. Material calculations, a detailed assembly scheme will be presented.

Manufacturing process

Any construction work starts with the preparatory stage.

1. 1. A diagram of a corner cabinet is being drawn up.

1. 1. It is necessary to calculate how much and what material is required for work. To make the calculation more accurate, an assembly diagram is also drawn up first.

1. cook necessary tools and materials.

• self-tapping screws;
• glue;
• dowel;
• mirrors;
• accessories;
• rollers, it’s not worth saving here, it’s better to take high-quality ones so that they last a long time;
• profile, give preference to steel.

Immediately check the tool kit so that there is no downtime in work later. You will need:

• level;
• roulette;
• hacksaw;
• hammer.

In order for the work to be done more accurately and quickly, it is better to entrust the cutting of the boards to the masters, to do this work in the workshop. You can assemble yourself.

Size specification

The dimensions of the cabinet must be determined by the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room where it is planned to be placed and the general standards must be taken into account.

1. The width of the compartment where outerwear is stored cannot be less than 0.8 m.
2. Storage compartment height outerwear cannot be less than 1.4 m.

Pre-planned schemes will help not to make a mistake in size.

Assembly

Assembly is usually carried out in the same way, regardless of the type of cabinet. The sequence is as follows:

• first, steel corners are mounted where later it will be necessary to attach the side walls to the floor and ceiling;
• assemble a frame from finished parts;
• attach rollers to the door;
• mount guides;
• install doors.

Good to know: in the work on assembling a corner cabinet, it is imperative to use a level, otherwise it is possible to allow distortions at the doors.

When the main work is done, it is necessary to assemble the cabinet inside. Install the brackets, arrange all the shelves in their places. After that, it remains to install accessories.

The work is carried out in the following sequence:

• install partitions;
• fix shelves, hangers, mirrors;
• screw on the knobs.

According to the same scheme, you can assemble the wardrobe yourself from drywall. The principle of operation will be slightly different.

Drywall corner cabinet

For manufacturing, you first need to carefully work on the drawings. The quality and speed of work will depend on how they are made. The drawings are made as follows:

1. It is necessary to determine the location of the future cabinet.
2. sketch, draw detailed diagram, in the same place indicate the dimensions of all shelves, brackets, parts.
3. The entire calculation is carried out with an indication of the thickness of the material.

Note: when making a drawing, it is necessary to take into account everything to the smallest detail, the slightest inconsistency, and there will be difficulties during assembly.

The assembly of the cabinet from begins with the installation of the frame. First, markings are made on the floor and ceiling. For convenience, you need to use a rubber shock-absorbing tape.

sheathing

When the frame is prepared, you can proceed to the sheathing.

1. Pre-cut blanks are placed in the intended places and screwed with self-tapping screws.
2. The sheets are finally fastened, the screws should be placed at a distance of about 200 mm. Hats of hardware should be recessed by 1 mm.
3. In places where the shelves will be attached, it is necessary to install the corners. Next, the shelves themselves are laid on them.

Take note: it is not necessary to pre-order doors for the cabinet, it often happens that after installation work, sizes vary slightly.

Now it remains to mount the lamps, rods. When the main frame is ready, you need to measure everything again and order the doors.

Finishing

After the preparatory, rough work, it remains only to embellish the closet a little. You need to do the following:

• prime the surface both inside and out;
• carefully seal all joints with gypsum plaster;
• stick a serpentine tape;
• install paint corners at all corners;
• apply a thin layer of putty, dry, sand and re-putty again;
• prime everything again, and after complete drying, finish. It can be painting or tiling, or other materials. Here the owner chooses at his discretion.

All the wardrobe is ready and will delight all households for a long time.

Not everyone can boast of a spacious kitchen, where there is a place for large-sized furniture. IN small spaces every square meter is of great importance. This is especially true for the table area, where you want to organize as many seats as possible. For such a task, perhaps optimal solution is the use of a soft corner sofa, which will make it possible to use the free space as efficiently as possible. Let's take a look at a few below simple options how to make a kitchen corner with your own hands. Drawings and diagrams combined with step by step photos-instructions, will allow even an inexperienced master to understand the process and complete the work without the involvement of professionals.

If you want to minimize carpentry work, then you can use ready-made Ikea shelves of the appropriate dimensions as a frame. To make such a kitchen corner you will need the following materials:

• Ikea shelves with facades;
• Chipboard or plywood;
• furniture foam;
• upholstery fabric;
• drill;
• electric jigsaw;
• construction stapler;
• bolts with nuts.

Coziness and comfort in a small kitchen

Installation and connection of the frame

When choosing the size of the shelves, certain standards must be taken into account: the height and depth of the seat of a soft corner in the kitchen should be on average 40-45 cm. The use of shelves is convenient because you can easily create not only an L-shaped structure, but also a U-shaped one, if for this has the area and layout of the room.

Structural elements are interconnected with bolts. To do this, you first need to drill holes of the appropriate diameter in the side walls. It is best to drill two shelves at once, fastening them together with clamps. However, this is not always possible due to the rather small internal space. If the drill does not fit inside the shelf, then the mounting hole is drilled from the outside - separately in each wall. In this case, it is very important to correct measurements in order to maintain alignment when connecting structural parts.

Advice! If the bolts are tightened too much, the wood may be deformed. To avoid this, it is necessary to use additional gaskets under the bolt head and nut.

Installation of facades and seat base

After installing the frame, you need to fix the facades of the shelves. Of course, you can do without them, which will significantly reduce the cost of construction. However, if you want to have additional storage space kitchen utensils then doors are needed.

The base for the seats is made of chipboard (OSB) sheets or plywood with a thickness of 10 mm or more. The use of particle board or oriented strand board is the most cheap option. Although when choosing a material, it should be borne in mind that plywood can be subjected to higher loads and has better moisture resistance.

The board is cut using a jigsaw according to the dimensions of the corner. After that, all ends must be sanded with medium grit sandpaper.

Upholstery with soft material

Manufacturing soft seats for a corner in the kitchen - this is perhaps the most difficult stage of work. Furniture foam rubber 80 mm thick is cut in the same way as a chipboard (plywood) sheet, after which it is glued to the base.

Note! For reliable bonding of foam rubber with wooden surface special glue must be used. On furniture factories often use glue "88" or "Foam rubber-2", which are universal formulations for joining dissimilar materials.

The soft base must be covered with a cloth, for which a construction stapler is used - the distance between the staples is 1-2 cm. The complexity of this work depends on the chosen fabric. Even an inexperienced person can perform upholstery with a single-color material, but correctly pulling a fabric with a complex pattern is a task of a completely different level, requiring professional skills.

Ready product can be decorated with pillows, which will additionally serve as a soft back.

Another affordable option is the manufacture of a corner for the kitchen with their own hands from furniture board. To complete this venture, you should purchase the following materials:

• furniture board (18 mm);
• acrylic paint;
• foam rubber (80 mm and 20 mm);
• textile;
• drill;
• jigsaw;
• wood screws.

Panel cutting and joining parts

Before you start cutting the shield, draw up a drawing of a kitchen corner with dimensions that will satisfy your criteria. The scheme must be developed in such a way that at least 3 people can comfortably sit on the sofa.

It is easiest to cut the shield with a jigsaw, although you can also use a hand saw. The main thing is that all ends are located at an angle of 90 ° with respect to the main plane, for which the tool should be held strictly perpendicular during the cut.

Details of the structure are interconnected by self-tapping screws. In order to prevent the formation of a crack during the tightening process, a hole must first be drilled under the screw.

Note! The diameter of the drill should be 0.5-1 mm less than the diameter of the self-tapping screw.

Hull painting

For painting the kitchen corner can be used as alkyd enamel and acrylic. The second option is more preferable in terms of stability and durability of the layer. In addition, acrylic paint does not have a strong odor, so it can be applied directly indoors.

Before applying the first layer of enamel, the case must be treated with a primer to increase adhesion. paintwork with wooden surface. Usually 2 coats of paint are enough to get an even color. Although dark tones may require 3 coats.

Making soft pillows

For the soft part, as in previous version making a kitchen corner with your own hands, the best option is furniture foam. Unlike materials such as synthetic winterizer or holofiber, which also give volume, foam rubber also has a good density, so it is more comfortable to sit on it.

Note! For the back, it is enough to use foam rubber with a thickness of 20 mm, while for the seat you will need a thicker layer - 80 mm.

If you can work for sewing machine, for foam pillows, you can sew removable covers with elastic or zippers. This approach is convenient in that the old fabric can always be replaced with a new one without much effort.

The scheme of the corner for the kitchen from wooden planks

Sawing and grinding parts

According to a pre-prepared drawing, which can be compiled using a computer program or drawn by hand on plain paper, the board is cut into separate segments. To give the kitchen corner a more elegant look, we cut out curly elements with our own hands.

Advice! To obtain smooth shapes, bends can be drawn using a long flexible ruler.

All parts are subjected to rough and fine grinding by means of sandpaper with different graininess. Where necessary, holes are drilled for dowels, which sit on PVA glue. Actually, the whole corner will be assembled with the help of dowels and glue.

The connection based on dowels and glue is considered one of the most reliable in furniture production

Staining and varnishing

As a coating, instead of enamel, we will use stain, which impregnates wood without creating a film characteristic of paint on the surface. Thus, the structure of the tree is completely preserved, while its color can be very different - from light "pine" tones to dark red.

Note! Stain has the ability to lift wood pile during the staining process. Therefore, after it dries, additional polishing of the surface will be required.

Lacquer, like stain, is applied in two layers. To speed up the process, it is recommended to use a water-soluble varnish, the drying time of which under normal temperature conditions is 30 minutes.

The base of the kitchen corner after staining and varnishing

Before lubricating the ends with glue, we assemble the kitchen corner “dry” with our own hands. It is important to fit all the holes and the length of the dowels so that the frame is assembled without gaps.

If all the ends and corners converge perfectly, then we assemble the frame already with glue. To reinforce the structure, you can use ordinary 4x4 metal corners that are mounted on inside corners.

The bottom of the boxes is made of plywood or chipboard, which is simply placed on any furniture corners fixed at the bottom of the frame.

The base for the seat is cut according to the dimensions indicated in the drawing from the same sheet of plywood or chipboard as the bottom of the drawers. soft material is performed in the following sequence:

1. We cut out a shape from foam rubber, which should be 2-3 cm larger than the base in length and width.

1. We cover the seat with batting, roughly cutting it along the contour and fixing it with the same glue.

Covering the seat with batting

1. We attach the upholstery fabric to the base with staples.

In the end it turned out pretty good. corner sofa that will brighten up any kitchen.
