We make out a hall with the hands

The entrance hall is the very place from which the house begins, and the first impression about it is made, therefore it is especially important that such a room looks beautiful and original. To make a unique and harmonious atmosphere, the hall can be decorated with your own hands. Then with full confidence we can say that it exists in a single version.

Nowadays, almost anyone can independently design a hall. You can buy in the shops already ready set of materials that you just need to assemble yourself at home.It is also permissible to order the manufacture of necessary parts. according to individual sizes and preferences. And if there is a possibility and the necessary tools, then it is possible to make all the components independently. In any case, if you take up the manufacture of furniture with your own hands, there are pros and cons.

The advantages include:

• original design;
• compliance of furniture with the required dimensions with the minimum error;
• the cost of home-made furniture is several times less than finished;
• fascinating pastime.

The disadvantages of such design solutions are the following nuances:

• as a result, the product may not be as perfect as it was bought in a store;
• making furniture takes a lot of time and effort;
• during the work a lot of dirt and dust will appear, so the best option for the rest of the household is to be in a separate room at this time.

In order to begin the process of making a hallway, you should carefully prepare and stock up with everything you need. In addition to material or finished parts, will need to prepare:

• accessories (corners, loops);
• pencil and tape measure;
• necessary fasteners (screws, bolts);
• knife for construction;
• sandpaper;
• small saw or jigsaw;
• a screwdriver or electric screwdriver;
• materials for decoration and decoration if necessary.

You will also need to work in advance prepared drawings and diagrams.

Making the hallway with your own hands is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. Even a beginner master can handle this. However, if there is little or no experience in creating furniture, it is better to start with simpler models.

Before you get started, It is necessary to determine the desired model and size of the future furniture. It is better to push off from the dimensions of the room in which it will be. Do not use all the space to the maximum. If the room is small, then the furniture should be a bit. You can limit the standard set of compartments for jackets and coats, shoes and various small things.

If you plan to do the hallway in a private house or at the cottage, it is better to create a more spacious environment. If space allows, a wardrobe or even a small dressing room, enclosed by sliding doors, is ideal for him. It is worth considering that this option will be somewhat more expensive.Deciding on the organization of the room, you should think about the seat, where it would be convenient to wear shoes. For more comfort, you can make it soft, for example, by covering the surface with foam rubber.

By choosing a suitable model, you can proceed to the next step - taking measurements. They need to be removed with special care. On the same plane it is better to take several measurements in different places. Between two numbers, the choice should always be made in the direction of the smaller one. Do not forget about the necessary clearances. On each side for future furniture must be left from 0.5-1 cm of free space.

For the manufacture of furniture, you can use a variety of materials:

• Chipboard - the most popular material. It is affordable, has a wide palette of different colors and is available in all hardware stores. In addition, in the work he is unpretentious. From it is very convenient and easy to make furniture. When choosing a chipboard, special attention should be paid to the manufacturer and the quality of the product. In the manufacture of such materials, harmful resins are used as the fastening element. It is important that their content does not exceed the permissible norms, as well as that the edges of the slab are covered with a laminated edge;

• Wood is an eco-friendly material. It is durable and has an exceptional appearance: it looks very presentable and solid. However, in terms of cost, it is an order of magnitude higher than, for example, chipboard and requires the observance of special rules when caring for oneself. It is easy to work with it during construction, since it lends itself to almost all types of processing. From the boards you can build almost any design. This is the only material that can be left in its original form and not subjected to further processing;

• The best option for working with wood are furniture boards They have already been prepared in a special way, so that all they have to do is just to cut out the necessary parts and start making the hallway.

• Plywood - very easy to handle material. It has a low cost, durability, resistance to moisture, heat and other environmental factors, and therefore enjoys great popularity. For its production using veneer made of pine or birch. Coniferous plywood has a very beautiful pattern and is often taken as the basis of furniture. Birch wood is more expensive.It has a contrasting structure and is monotonous;

• Drywall - option, more suitable for the construction of a dressing room. From it you can make any design and even a small new room. Even a novice can build a structure, but you need to follow the instructions very carefully and carry out each action clearly in accordance with them. Drywall allows you to build a box, even in an uneven room, smoothing out all defects.

With the help of drywall, you can create both vertical and horizontal structures, which gives plenty of imagination for decoration. Another plus of this material is that with it you can disguise any communication, and under the skin it is easy to stretch the wires and pipes between the frame profiles.

As the drawbacks of drywall can be mentioned the low strength of the material. It is subject to deformations under the influence of moisture and external mechanical effects. In addition, the construction itself with profiles takes up space, so it is better to build such a hallway or dressing room in spacious rooms.

As materials for the future hallway, you can use not only the usual options. The basis can serve as improvised materials. The manufacture of such furniture will be inexpensive, will look original and not inferior in appearance to products from the usual wood or laminated chipboard.

From plastic bottles can get a ottoman or stand. They need to be stapled with each other, for example, with scotch tape and give the desired shape. For this you need to make a frame. For the base, you can use thick cardboard or plywood.

Similar is the design of plumbing pipes. They are cut to the same length and bonded together to the desired frame with glue. To give them a neat shape, it is better to close them with corrugated cardboard or plywood. Inside the pipe, it is better to fill it with dense material to prevent the finished product from deforming. For this fit an old rug or thick fabric. Outside, the product can be painted or upholstered with a cloth.

The furniture made of wooden boxes or a pallet looks original and very stylish.You can make an unusual closet, coat hanger, cabinet or shelf for shoes. The design is very fast and easy to assemble. The finished product can be painted with paint, supplemented with unusual fittings and decor. In the course can go already used in the house things that are no longer needed. It is enough to restore and ennoble them. Old doors, tires, vintage suitcases and chests, and even window frames can be used.

The size of the room depends on the dimensions of the future situation. In large rooms, you can afford to put a large wardrobe, dressing room, shelves and a sofa. The street shop and a lantern in the interior look original. In order to furnish a large room, all designers dream, because the flight of fantasy in this case is not limited by anything, and you can afford to embody any ideas.

Solutions for medium-sized rooms with a standard set of furniture for the hallway. It can include a small wardrobe, a small seat, cabinet or chest of drawers for small items, as well as several wall shelves.

The most inconvenient option is small space.In it you need to fit everything you need, but not to overload the entire room with furniture. In this case, a mini hallway is suitable. You can use a wall hanger for clothes, vertical designs for shoes, a small padded stool as a seat, and a small shelf for small items. An excellent storage solution will be mezzanines that are fixed to the ceiling.

The color of the future hallway can be any. This is one of the main advantages of self-registration. The finished product can be painted with paint, pasted over with ordinary wallpaper or canvas with photo printing, decorative stickers, film. If you want to emphasize the natural beauty of wood, you can simply varnish it, or artificially make it old, having decorated the furniture in retro style.

For the same purpose, the hall must be with a mirror, and the more mirrors the better. They will help to visually enlarge the room.

Starting the manufacture of the hallway is better with the simplest element - thumbs. So that during the work you do not have to correct the mistakes, and the finished product only subsequently pleased you need to carefully consider each action and stick to the plan:

• determine the desired height of the product;
• we cut out from the furniture panel 2 the same side parts, according to a certain height;
• we cut down the corner of both parts if there is a plinth, and the product will stand tightly against the wall;
• we cut the corner from the top a little, so that the upper part is narrower;
• we cut out the bottom base and the cover from the furniture panel, according to the chosen width;

• we connect the sidewalls, the lower and upper base with the help of fasteners (the lower base should be located slightly above the floor a few cm). It is also possible to make a plinth from the furniture panel, which will close the gap between the floor and the lower base;
• we make the back of plywood and fasten it with fasteners;
• we cut out the door from the furniture board. It may not be at full height of the cabinet, but lower, then a drawer will fit over it;
• make holes in the cabinet for the door and fasten it with hinges;

• we make a box of furniture board. Bottom can be cut out of plywood. The front part should be slightly higher than the other parts so that the contents of the box are closed. We fasten the details of the box with screws;
• we attach the guides to the box and cabinet, carefully making measurements;
• if necessary, we saw out the shelf, we make fastening for it;
• collect the product and attach the handle.

A large cabinet is made in a similar way. If you plan to store clothes in it, you need to think about its depth so that the hangers can fit. If the space does not allow you to make furniture of sufficient depth, then for this you can choose the end hang, which is suitable for shallow cabinets.

If a wardrobe is planned, the frame is assembled like a cabinet, except for doors. Guides for the doors that occupy 10 cm are attached to the lower and upper base, so all the shelves and drawers are made 10 cm less than the sidewalls in depth so that the doors can close.

In addition to the cabinet and cabinets, you can make a wall hanger with hooks. To do this, it is enough to cut the required size from the shield, or a few narrow boards,which are interconnected by another transverse board. Vertical boards can be made curly by adding elements of contrasting color. The hanger is completed with hooks and the top shelf.

Another way to get a new hall is to restore the old one. The update needs to start with the surfaces. They need to be well cleaned of dirt, degreased and prepared for applying paint, glue, wallpaper or film. You can upgrade not only the surface, but also the entire structure: replace the facades, fasteners, accessories, add decorative elements.

The addition of ready-made furniture accessories - the final touch in the design of the hallway. The main thing is to decide in what style the room will be made:

• for retro-style, you can use antique-styled items, vintage hooks and knobs on furniture, put an old chest as a seat, hang a large mirror in a carved frame and add a picture with an old-style carpet;

• modern style involves a lot of light and space. For these purposes it is better to use light shades, mirrors and glasses. Mirror compositions can be placed on the walls, you can add original lamps and put on a homemade bright-colored pouf;

• As an additional item, you can add an original hat, an interesting shoe holder, a large plant in an outdoor pot or several pots of flowers placed in pots on the walls;

• Do not forget about the decorative stickers that can be pasted over the furniture itself, the walls, the mirror.

When making the hallway yourself, there may be some mistakes in work, which are best avoided:

• start making the hallway with the most complex element;
• choosing the size of the furniture, make it "butt" on the size of the walls, leaving no gaps (with the exception of immobile dressing rooms, the base of which is attached to the walls);

• to get to work, without making a full calculation of all the details of future furniture;
• use the cheapest materials and accessories;
• use the space to the maximum, forcing the entire room furniture.

Halls, decorated with taste, look stylish and harmonious. In the selection of all components it is necessary to build on the style and color of the situation.

In modern hallways you can arrange a variety of designs from both cheap plywood or laminated chipboard, and natural wood. The main thing is to follow the rule: do not clutter up small spaces and do not leave them empty - big ones. It is recommended to choose designs of lighter shades.
