Personal control of all important stages of production allows you to create furniture with unique characteristics at no extra cost. This article talks about how to make a wardrobe with your own hands. Drawings, detailed instructions, photos and videos will help you realize your own plans quickly and efficiently.

Even a complex project can be successfully implemented on its own after proper preparation.

To figure out how to make a closet yourself, you need to clarify the purpose of the furniture. It will be useful to carefully study the following facts:

• A significant internal volume implies the possibility of placing clothes and shoes, household appliances, New Year's toys, bed linen and other things. For each position, it is necessary to provide an optimal storage mode that is convenient for users.
• With a large facade, aesthetic parameters are essential. A beautiful front surface will have a significant impact on the overall perception of the corresponding interior.
• The choice of basic materials is the most important task. Not only the cost, but also the ease of assembly and the durability of the structure largely depend on the right decision.

Do-it-yourself wardrobe manufacturing steps

Measurements of the room and calculation of the dimensions of the closet

This tool will simultaneously allow you to refine the accuracy of horizontal and vertical elements of building structures. The easiest way to take measurements for cabinet furniture. In this case, it is enough to take the minimum dimensions and subtract a few centimeters to make a small margin.

It is much more difficult to accurately fit the built-in wardrobe. With your own hands, you must make at least three measurements for each meter of length (height). If excessive defects are found, the surfaces must first be leveled.

Important! In any case, the free opening of the nearest window (door) blocks is checked. If necessary, install sash limiters. You should make sure that the cabinet will not close the only light switch in the room, will not be too close to the ceiling or wall light.

Preparation of design documentation for the creation of a do-it-yourself cabinet or built-in wardrobe

These programs are available on the official websites of trade enterprises. They can be used completely free of charge. Anyone can insert their own measurements. Guides are selected automatically, designed for loads determined by the size of the canvas and the material.

With its help, you can make a quality project even without previous design experience. Even a beginner will quickly master this tool using the following simple algorithm:

Drawings of parts can be given to a specialized workshop, or used to make individual parts of the wardrobe with your own hands. The electronic project is convenient for inspection from different points. In it, you can quickly make various changes, taking into account additional requirements. The generated list is used to purchase the necessary components and parts.

Important! Quite large scraps from chipboard sheets and other materials remain in the workshop. It is better to take them with you to make it easier to correct errors during the installation process and perform repair operations in the future.

Choice for wardrobe rollers, materials, equipment and other components

The drawing shows the main components of a typical design:

• The lower and upper guides for the wardrobe are attached to the floor and ceiling of the room (the bottom and the cover of the furniture, respectively).
• In this example, the main load is on the lower rollers. But there are also models with a hanging canvas.
• The side profile "C" additionally functions as a handle.
• The sealing elements are made of silicone, which ensures a secure fixing of the glass.
• The middle transverse elements strengthen the power frame, separate the individual elements of the canvas from different materials.

Do-it-yourself compartment door adjustment and other assembly features

	During the first installation and during operation, the following typical problems arise: loose fitting of the valves, lack of fixation in the closed position.
	To prevent the canvas from moving back after hitting the side of the structure, a special locking element is installed inside the guide. It can be used to determine which door needs to be adjusted from a certain side.
	First, the shlegel (6÷8 cm) is separated to free access to the adjusting screw. The top hole is used during the assembly process for tightening fasteners.
	A hex wrench is used to adjust the position of the roller. In this example, the master uses #4.
	Clockwise rotation raises the door. In the opposite direction - lowers.
	These procedures are performed so that when closed, the canvas fits without gaps in the lower and upper parts. After obtaining the desired result, proceed to the next stage.
	The photo shows a locking element made of reliable sheet steel with an arrow. When the roller moves to the middle part, the spring rises up, preventing it from moving backward. If this part is shifted to the central axis of the wardrobe, a gap is formed.
	Moving an element is not easy. This is prevented by the ends of the springs, which rest against the bottom of the guide rails. They select a suitable piece of plastic, a board.
	With such a device, press the stopper. Then move the node in the desired direction.
	A torn off brush can be tucked into the bottom hole, or glue can be used for a hard mount.

Do-it-yourself direct installation of a direct or corner cabinet is no different from assembling standard furniture. In the same way, the bottom, walls, and lid are first installed. Then, internal and external shelves are attached to the power frame.

Note! It is convenient to order a sliding system for a sliding wardrobe after the installation of the case. In this case, it will be possible to make an accurate measurement.

The sliding wardrobe can be assembled at home according to pre-made drawings. Be sure the hostess invents in advance.

The sliding wardrobe came to Russia in the 90s from the USA. And his popularity is not declining. It is quite roomy, fits into any niche and saves space when opening doors.

You can assemble any cabinet with your own hands, having a level (bubble or laser), self-tapping screws, dowels, screws, a drill and a screwdriver at hand.

First you need to remove the original dimensions. For sliding doors, we measure at three points horizontally: from above, in the middle and along the floor. And we also measure the wall (niche) vertically: top, middle and bottom.

Draw up a drawing, where to describe all the measurements and filling. The distance between the shelves is written minus the edge.
Determine what will be the internal filling of the cabinet.

In the figure, determine how many sections will be in the cabinet, prescribe the dimensions.

Remember that for things on a hanger we allocate at least 60 cm in depth.

For short clothes, take more space, because. it is more than long.
The build process starts with markup. Fastening of the shelves of the built-in wardrobe is done on the furniture corners.

It is better to use metal corners, they are durable and compact. Plastic corners can dry out over time and lose some of their caps.

If you have a built-in wardrobe, then the entire frame is attached to the walls.

When taking measurements, if you have a blockage of the walls, then it can be leveled with an MDF lining.

The assembly of the wardrobe begins with one of the side sections. To begin with, we will assemble a section with roll-out boxes.

We put decorative caps on those screws that will be hard to reach after assembling the cabinet.

We install the section in its place, but do not attach it to the wall yet.

We assemble the next section and also install it in place without fastening.

If adjacent shelves are at different heights, then first install the shelves that are located below, and then those that are higher.

We fix the mezzanine to the cabinet partitions.

After that, we attach the wardrobe to the wall.
To install the clothes rail, measure 4 cm from the top point, put a mark in the middle of the partition.

We fasten the bar along pre-marked lines.

Screw on the top rail. If you have errors in height, then before attaching the guide, you must align it. So you can cut out linings from MDF in advance, put them between the guide and the ceiling, and fasten the linings through the guide to the ceiling with self-tapping screws. To do this, first we make holes in the ceiling, we hammer in the dowels there, then we take the screws and fasten them to the ceiling.

We attach the bottom rail with double-sided tape.

If you have tiles on the floor, then installing the bottom guide on double-sided tape will give a soft ride.

We install the doors in the guides.
We adjust the doors with a hexagon so that there are no gaps near the wall.

If the cabinet has shelves longer than 800 mm, then they must be additionally fixed along the back wall with corners. Otherwise, 16 mm chipboard will sag over time.

Do-it-yourself cabinet wardrobe at home

When assembling any cabinet cabinet, it is necessary to assemble the frame on the floor and measure its diagonals, otherwise the doors may turn out to be skewed. It may surprise you that the discrepancy in the diagonals can be very significant.

After aligning the diagonals, you need to stiffen the cabinet. To do this, we attach the middle or back walls.

The back wall is nailed to the frame, you can use a stapler with staples.

The distance between the nails is 15-20 cm.

Always start assembling a frame cabinet from the front side: cabinet parts are not always even, so that there are no drops. Even at 1 mm it is already very noticeable, but on the reverse side, the difference will be closed by the back wall and nothing will be visible.

Honeycomb shelf mount

First, set the shelf on the level.

We mark the back wall where it will stand.
We mark the places where the clips will be installed and fasten them to the wall.

We attach additional corners on the sides, on which the front of the shelf rests.

Assembly of boxes and installation of facades

We drill the side walls of the box and assemble the frame.

Measure the diagonal of the box.

The back wall of fiberboard is laid and only one side is nailed. Staples go through 5-7 cm.

If you are using a stapler, choose the #14 fiberboard staple.

We fasten the guides to each side along the pre-marked lines.

Method of fixing drawer fronts with double-sided adhesive tape

We take double-sided tape, cut off two strips and glue it vertically on the front wall of the box.

The facade is taken and height limiters are placed on it (you can use pieces of wire of the desired diameter).
For greater strength, we screw in self-tapping screws from the inside (length 30mm, diameter 4mm).

Video how to make a wardrobe with your own hands

A wardrobe is a bulky and fundamental thing that is necessary in every home. Often purchased furniture is not suitable for the price, as intermediaries greatly inflate prices, sometimes they do not match in size or design. In this case, you usually have to look for a small company that is ready to fulfill a personal order. However, as practice shows, workshops ask for a lot of money. The most profitable solution in this situation is the independent manufacture of the cabinet at home.

Kinds

Before you get started, you need to decide what kind of cabinet you need. Depending on the location, there are two main types:

• Embedded Models, the main advantage of which is the presence of a floor, ceiling and some walls. This condition significantly reduces the cost of the project. Such options are convenient, since they can be adjusted to any existing niche: recesses in the walls, space under the stairs. Oddly enough, this is also a disadvantage of built-in models, since they are built for a specific place and changes are no longer implied. Among other things, the curvature of the load-bearing surfaces greatly affects the quality of the cabinets, so they must be leveled before starting the project.
• Cased freestanding cabinets are a classic option. Models can be used in any type of premises. Dismantling and transfer from place to place is possible. Also, curved walls, floor or ceiling will not affect the installation. Among the disadvantages, one can note the high consumption of materials, compared with built-in modifications, and the associated increased cost. However, with proper selection of components, the cost can be reduced.
• Partially embedded models are a cross between the first two options.

Depending on the type of doors, cabinets are classified as follows:

• Wardrobe with sliding doors and rigid frame. Two subspecies can be distinguished: with a roller door movement mechanism and with a monorail. After appearing on the market, such options have gained popularity with a variety of models, designs, and internal content. In addition, the advantages are multifunctionality, saving space in the room.
• Models with hinged doors. Long service life is the main plus of such options. As well as practicality and durability.
• Lift door options.
• Open, doorless cabinets.

Designers also divide cabinets according to the way they are assembled and style. The style is diverse: folklore, hi-tech, baroque, empire, modern, rococo.

In terms of equipment, the following models can be distinguished:

• Standard options are typical for large industries, are made according to standard sizes, without frills. Practical and functional furniture. Most often used for offices.

• Serial production is a mass option. Represents the release of products in one line, with certain characteristics within the same concept.
• Modular wardrobes have always been popular. Their advantages are mobility and functionality. Such structures can be divided into separate sections, easily dismantled, rearranged, combined with each other.

If we consider cabinets in shape, then the most common options are:

• Linear, in other words, straight.
• Angular (depending on the shape of the angle L or U shaped).
• Round. Rounded side or front panels.
• Rectangular.

Depending on the number of doors, there are double-leaf, single-leaf, three-leaf or open without doors. Of course, combined options are also popular.

The most important characteristic of cabinets is functional. Only after making a decision on the purpose of the structure, all of the above classifications are taken into account. According to the purpose of use, cabinets are:

• For clothes. This includes wardrobes, wardrobes, which are characterized by hangers for dresses, suits, ties, trouser holders.
• For storing things. Here you can note the cabinets for bed linen, chests of drawers.
• Book. Use various modifications from open to combined.
• In the hallway These models are characterized by shelves for shoes and hats, hangers, hooks, holders for umbrellas, a mirror, built-in sections for outerwear.
• For kitchen. Often, these cabinets are equipped with specific mesh or pull-out shelves for kitchen utensils and utensils, hooks for towels and other small items.

materials

The most common materials for the manufacture of cabinet bodies are as follows:

• Drywall. If a complex configuration is expected, then it is better to choose this option. Any shape can be bent from the GKL, since it is not afraid of deformation.
• MDF. From furniture panels that do not require cladding, rigid frames are made that do not require bending. The plate is characterized by a high density, unlike chipboard, which makes it more durable. The fittings sit better inside, the probability of chips when cutting the plates is low. A conditional disadvantage is a large mass. At a cost, the material is affordable, but more expensive than chipboard.
• Chipboard or chipboard. For cutting sheets, it is better to use the services of a workshop. At home, the quality of saw cuts can be disappointing due to the lack of necessary woodworking tools. From chipboard, you can perform various complex elements if you have the skills and the necessary machines. Chipboard is distinguished by a laminated layer that protects the sheet from external influences, and the user from formaldehyde. In addition, the laminate is good for decorative purposes, as it imitates various coatings.

• Plywood. The material has a low cost. The service life of plywood products depends on the thickness of the sheet, the quality of gluing, and the climate in the room. In any case, it is unsuitable for large structures of large mass, since it will bend under its own weight.
• Whole boards. When choosing, it is better to use wood that is easy to process. Cabinets made of wood species such as maple, ash, acacia, mountain ash, walnut, oak will outlive their creators many times over. It should be borne in mind that the cost of the project in this case increases significantly.
• Old boards. Recently, vintage style is gaining popularity. It allows you to give a second life to old things.

For example, having dismantled an old wardrobe, table, door from boards, you can create such an interior element as a wardrobe, cabinet, chest of drawers with your own hands.

• Boxes. The fashionable craze for making furniture out of packaging cardboard is spread all over the world today. Typically one to three layers are used. Single-layer cardboard is usually used for internal walls and curved surfaces. To fill the volume - a material with a greater thickness. Box cabinets are the cheapest but most short-lived option.

Materials for the execution of facades are of no small importance:

• The tape is convenient in every sense. For the facade, you can use the same materials as for the body, glued with a decorative coating. A wide range of films makes it possible to create vivid images, decorate a wardrobe in the style of an existing interior. In addition, it is easy to care for.

• Wallpaper. An excellent and inexpensive solution for decorating the facade.

• The mirror is the most popular option, but rarely carried out with self-made cabinets.

It must be remembered that the mirror surfaces are fragile, require certain tools for cutting and fitting to the required dimensions.

• Clapboard. There are two types of material: wood and plastic. The facade, made of lining of various widths, is suitable for an eco-style interior, for country houses, balconies. Most often, wooden slats of 4 classes are produced. Type "C" panels are the least processed, and therefore may have knots and cracks. A, B and "Extra" are more attractive, in addition, they have a low level of resin.

How to get started?

The initial stage of self-manufacturing of the cabinet is design.

It needs to be taken seriously, for this you need:

• Determine the location of the future location of the structure. This depends on the size and quantity of materials needed.
• You should decide what shape the cabinet is planned to be built: straight, corner, built-in, and so on.

• Sketch out sketches of the exterior and interior content. Determine in advance how many sections, boxes, shelves will be. Fix the desired number of doors, sliding and hinged elements. Determine the order of the location of hooks, hangers, holders. Even the need to install a decorative facade should be decided at this stage.
• Choose a material, determine the color of the product, comparing all the parameters with the style of the interior. If necessary, decide what texture the façade should have. Identify a company that produces furniture fittings, based on expert reviews.

After that, various measurements are performed and calculations are made. It must be understood that calculating the dimensions does not mean measuring the width and length of the cabinet. At the same time, it is necessary to measure the distance between the shelves, the width of the sections. All dimensions are transferred to the drawing for clarity.

When taking measurements, it must be taken into account that the standard sash width should not exceed one meter. In addition, you should also remember about the thickness of the sheet from which the body is made, so 1-2 centimeters are added to the width of the sash. In the same way, the allowance for the height of the door panels is calculated.

The scheme should be clear and take into account all the desired parameters. If it is difficult to perform such a drawing yourself, then you will have to turn to specialists.

Fastening features

An important stage in the construction of a cabinet with your own hands is the selection of accessories. Today, the furniture industry offers a huge number of fasteners and connecting elements. Their characteristics depend on the functional features of the cabinet and operating conditions.

Often for wooden cabinets with hinged doors, four-hinged door hinges are used, which are divided into several types:

• Overhead. The most common option for sashes.
• Semi-overlapping hinges are useful when one section is closed by two doors.

• Internal or hidden are installed on the inside of the door.
• Corner models are necessary for furniture located in corners, requiring the installation of doors at an angle of 45 degrees.

• Inverted canopies allow you to open the door 180 degrees.
• Piano mechanisms have a low degree of reliability, and therefore are rarely installed on cabinets.
• Mezzanine hinges have a spring in their mechanism.

Glass sashes can be fixed using the following elements:

• mounting strips;
• fastening loops;
• seal rings;
• plugs.

For low canvases, two fasteners are enough; when extended to 1.5 meters or more, the number of loops is increased. Optionally, you can install a closer to protect your fingers from injury, and increase the durability of the mechanism.

There are several types of shock absorbers, different in technical parameters and installation method:

• The damper is the simplest and cheapest. There are many options on the market, the simplest of which is a self-adhesive model. It is a disc of soft material with a thickness of 1.5 to 5 mm, a diameter of 7 to 10 mm, which is glued to the end of the case. For one sash you need at least two pieces.
• Loop carrier. It should be noted that such designs must be purchased immediately with a loop from one manufacturer. The model has the effect of smooth closing of the sash.

• Overhead and mortise shock absorbers, unlike those described above, do not depend on the type of hinges. The advantage of overheads is the ease of replacement, which happens infrequently. However, when mounting a door closer of this type, additional space is required for a hole in the box from the end wall. The advantage of the mortise option is that installation space is not required, on the other hand it is more difficult to replace it.

For folding doors, mechanisms are often installed that are designed to open up, down, or in the form of an accordion.

The models are easy to install, their cost is low, they are convenient to use:

• Gas lifts and lifting mechanisms combine the functions of opening and closing up and down. The fundamental selection criterion is the weight of the sash, since the device has a different degree of force.
• Mechanisms for opening in parallel, at an angle and accordion. Advantage - great access to contents, improved ergonomics of cabinets. The disadvantage is the cost.

Shelf mounts also have their own classification:

• Stationary are attached using several types of holders.
• Overhead, which are mounted to the wall, to the cabinet body or to the facade. The shelf in this case is superimposed on top. They are different types of corners.

• Mortise built into the cabinet.
• Brackets are used for heavy loads.

• Retractable options consist of rollers and guide rails along which they move. In addition, the mechanisms are usually equipped with limiters and seals.
• Rotating models. The main part is the axis of rotation, usually in the form of a pipe of the required height. Additional elements - fasteners for the upper and lower parts of the axis, flanges for mounting the shelf.

How to do it yourself: step by step instructions

Before starting work on the project, it is necessary to prepare all the necessary materials, components and tools.

The following may be required:

• drill or perforator;
• level;
• ruler or measuring tape;
• pencil;
• a hammer;

• glue;
• self-tapping screws, fastening accessories;
• screwdriver;

• hacksaw or circular saw (if self-cutting of parts is implied);
• iron;
• construction knife.

The cabinet assembly scheme at home consists of several stages.

Part preparation:

• From the sheets of the selected material, cabinet elements are cut: body walls, doors, shelves, drawer elements. Maximum precision is achieved with a circular saw. Sawing can also be done with a hacksaw, but in this case, without skill and experience, chips are possible.

• Edge processing. For edging, PVC tapes are used, matching in color. Their cost is low, and it is very convenient to process the edges with it. Typically, the thickness of the tape varies from 0.4 to 2 mm. Usually, a thicker one is used to process the apron of visible ribs, and thinner - for those hidden from the eyes. The scheme of actions in this case is as follows.
• The iron is turned on at three-fourths of its maximum power.

• The tape is applied to the end with an adhesive surface, ironed several times.
• The edge is carried out with a soft, dry cloth, pressing firmly.
• The rest of the tape is cut with a knife.
• Hardware preparation. It is necessary to collect the right amount of fasteners, hinges, handles, hangers and other important little things.

Frame assembly:

• If the cabinet is built-in or will be located under the stairs, then most likely it will lack any frame elements: the lower or upper bar, sidewalls. In this case, the walls should be prepared for the installation of the structure, leveled, puttied, painted or glued.
• If other options for cabinets are planned, then holes are drilled in the places of future fasteners.
• Attach body parts together. First of all, the sidewalls are attached to the bottom, after which it is necessary to attach the upper part to them. For work, it is better to use the simplest fasteners - confirmations.
• Checking verticality with a level.
• If necessary, fix the back wall.

Installation of shelves and cabinets:

• To begin with, they make a markup for dividing the internal space into sections. Next, note the location of the shelves and built-in cabinets.
• Install partition walls. Depending on the plan, they can be either from floor to ceiling of the cabinet, or lower. In the latter case, the presence of a horizontal partition is implied.
• Fasteners for internal filling are mounted on the side and sectional panels of the frame. If stationary shelves are planned, then these can be ordinary corners. In the case of retractable shelves or drawers, guide chutes are mounted.
• Installation of other elements: hooks, holders, hanger rods.

Then the doors are fixed. In order to assemble the cabinet doors, it is necessary to adhere to certain algorithms for different door options.

Closet:

• Installation of the upper and lower guides, tracking their parallelism with the help of a plumb line.
• Stopper installation.
• Installation of roller elements on the door, if this type of mechanism is planned.
• The doors are inserted into the grooves, starting from the top, until they click.
• Check if the sash moves freely.
• Installation of additional fittings if necessary.

Swing doors:

• Hinges of the selected type are installed on the doors.
• Shock absorbers are installed if necessary.
• Handles are screwed in.
• The verticality and the closing mechanism are checked.

Hinged and lifting doors:

• For hinged doors, gas lifts are most often installed. Purchased mechanisms are always equipped with instructions. Please read it carefully before installation. First of all, fasteners for gas lifts are installed on the side parts of the cabinet body.
• Such fasteners are installed on the doors that will rise.
• Next, the doors are mounted using canopies or hinges from the side that is the future axis of rotation.
• After attaching the elevators. To do this, their head must be put on the fasteners until it clicks on both sides.
• With the door closed, make adjustments.
• Professionals focus on the fact that at least 2 mechanisms must be installed on one facade in order to prevent warping.

Then the final processing of the cabinet is carried out. At the end of the assembly, a complete polishing of the appearance is performed. All screws are covered with decorative caps. Polishing with a soft cloth is necessary to clean the product from dust and drilling residues. Facades are designed depending on the designer's idea using mirrors and other decorative elements.

Organization of the internal space

The functional structure of the internal filling of cabinets consists of many elements that meet the requirements of the owner. A competent design should provide free access to any things in the closet, prevent the formation of odors.

Sliding and sliding drawers, rotating shelves are not only convenient to use, but also ergonomic in nature. They allow rational use of internal space. For large wardrobes, lifting rods for hangers and trouser holders are often used, which can either rise or, if necessary, go deep into the closet. If the design is intended for the hallway, then it provides a box for storing shoes and shelves for hats.

Kitchen cabinets are filled with everything from spinning bar counters to pull-out cutting boards. Due to the fact that it is necessary to store many different accessories in the kitchen, the functionality of the interior decoration of the cabinets is many-sided and is determined only by the wishes of the owners.

How to place?

The closet is the most bulky element of the interior in the room. There are such options for their location, which will allow you to "hide" and not clutter up the space.

in a niche

If the apartment has natural niches, then this will greatly facilitate the task. The cabinet is simply built into them. Niches can be created artificially, which will allow not only to install storage structures in them, but also other interior elements: a fireplace, a TV.

Part of the room

If the area allows, then you can fence off a piece of the room and organize a wardrobe in it. At the same time, it is better to choose the darkest corner of the room so that the room remains bright.

Pantry

In private houses, there are always different pantries. Sometimes they are found in city apartments. If the owner wishes, the wardrobe can be perfectly hidden in the pantry. At the same time, the efforts for its design are minimal, since the functions of the body are performed by the walls of the room. It is enough to organize the internal content.

In the room

The standard options for installing cabinets in a room are as follows:

• Wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Creates the effect of a solid wall. The design of facades with mirror surfaces will visually expand the space. When choosing doors of wall color, you can achieve the effect of "disappearing".

• Alcove. Cabinets are installed on both sides, forming a niche between them. The alcove formed in this way is filled with any interior elements: bed, dressing table, work area, TV.

• openings. Distances between doors and windows can be used rationally with the help of modular cabinets. Structures are mounted on both sides of the opening, it is possible to organize mezzanines above the opening. The element connecting the cabinets under the window is often designed as a bench or sofa.

What can be done from an old closet?

If the old cabinet has lost its appearance, but the fasteners are intact and not loosened, the body also does not have significant flaws, in this case, you should pay attention to various techniques that allow you to remake or decorate outdated furniture.

To update cabinets, there are many budget options:

• Repaint yourself, for example, using stencils.
• You can glue the doors with photo wallpaper or vinyl film.

• If the panels are glass or mirror, then you can use the services of private workshops for matting or sandblasting.
• Decoupage using vintage paper or wallpaper.
• In the kitchen, you can use tiles to decorate the facades.

If the fasteners are nevertheless loosened and fell out, it is impossible to keep the cabinet in its original form. In this case, elements for a different design can be cut out of its parts. Craftsmen create benches, shelves, pouffes and other interior details.

Ideas for location in the interior

Large built-in wardrobes are popular. They are installed both in the hallways and in the living rooms. Usually they occupy all the space provided from floor to ceiling. Internal filling is organized depending on the wishes of the owner. Advantages - functionality, the ability to embed various elements for storing things, including vacuum cleaners, ironing boards, washing machines and dishwashers. Such structures can be installed in any places inaccessible to cabinet furniture, in attics, niches, corners.

Having decided to update the interior of your home, you should think about changing furniture items.

Every home should have roomy clothes.

You can buy it ready-made, order individual production or make it on your own.

The distinctive features of such an item will be its perfect match with the style of the house and the expression of your taste.

A variety of improvised materials on the market opens up endless possibilities for consumers. You can assemble furniture with your own hands from:

• natural wood;
• lining;
• drywall;
• laminate;
• MDF or chipboard;
• chipboard.

Both the appearance of the product and its durability will depend on the material chosen.

Wood or lining are the most popular materials. They differ:

• naturalness;
• aesthetics;
• convenience in work;
• long service life;
• reliability.

Important. In damp rooms, wooden furniture items may peel or warp. Therefore, they must be impregnated with a water-polymer emulsion or hot drying oil.

Drywall light and easy to use. It is easily cut, sawn and processed with various improvised tools. But drywall constructions are not very durable.

Laminate, chipboard, MDF- resistant to sudden changes in temperature. They are perfectly sawn, do not crack and have an impeccable appearance. The color palette of these materials is striking in a variety of shades. Thanks to this, the furniture fits into different stylistic directions.

Width and Depth

Before starting work, it is necessary to carefully calculate the dimensions of the product. Based on these miscalculations, a drawing is created. The standard sizes are:

• optimum depth the product is 60 cm. In such a cabinet, clothes hangers, drawers, laundry baskets will fit. For wardrobes with sliding doors, the depth should be increased by 10 cm;
• minimum width Products are calculated on an individual basis. Most often it is 40 cm. Here it is worth starting from the size of the room and personal preferences;
• height wardrobe should be 240 cm. But if desired, it can be increased or decreased.

Drawing

The main feature of any piece of furniture should be its ergonomics and good capacity. To make it much easier to assemble the cabinet and calculate the required amount of consumables, you need to draw its preliminary sketch and diagram.

For cabinet furniture it is necessary to build the back, side and top walls. And for embedded– side walls and top cover are not needed. The cabinet is mounted directly into a niche, and shelves and other elements are attached directly to the walls in the room.

A drawing of a wardrobe for outerwear is drawn up using a ruler, a pencil and a sheet of paper. If you draw it by hand, it will take a decent amount of time.

Advice. To create a drawing, it is easier to use special programs on a computer.

Tools and materials

For the manufacture of the cabinet, it is necessary to prepare the following tools:

• jigsaw and drill with a perforator;
• screwdriver;
• miter saw;
• building level;
