Shelves are often used not only to complement and decorate the overall interior of the room, but also for a clearer and more expedient organization of space. Thanks to their use, the owner of the apartment gets the opportunity to conveniently arrange a huge number of small things that are simply lost in the cabinets.
There are many on the market today various models which are made from different materials. They also differ in design.
You can choose not only products with a classic design, but also ultra-modern designs.
But more and more people prefer to make such interior details on their own. Asking how to make a shelf with their own hands, they re-read a lot of literature and look through a lot of catalogs.
However, this does not mean that independent production shelves are complex and beyond the power of a person who does not have special skills. No, this is absolutely not true.
Familiarization with the literature this case necessary in order to create a product with beautiful design that will fit into the overall interior. Let's consider in more detail what shelves are.
Types of shelves
Any specialist will tell you that before you start creating a product, you need to decide for yourself what kind of design you want to get and whether it will be combined with the interior. And only after that you can start creating the product.
Indeed, for a house decorated in a classically seasoned style, it is completely unacceptable to use trendy and modern shelves. They will look extremely awkward.
The most popular and widely known subspecies of shelves is the classic shelf. This is due to the fact that it is quite simple to install, and appearance, due to its simplicity, it seems refined and sophisticated.
Used with success and open, closed shelves. Closed products are used most often for decoration and installation in rooms decorated in more modern styles. Glass and sometimes plastic are used for their construction.
Open structures can be used both in modernly designed houses and in apartments with a classic design. Over the past few years, this particular type of shelf has gained immense popularity and therefore is gradually replacing the classic options.
In small spaces, it is quite common to see corner shelves, which have a special way of fastening. They are mounted on adjacent walls that are adjacent to each other. Most often they are used in bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms.
In addition to the above types of shelves that are mounted on the wall, there are suspended and floor structures. Hanging shelves mounted in an unusual way.
They are installed with cables and uprights and attached directly to the ceiling. This mount looks quite unusual and original.
Floor structures are most often used in hallways. After all, do-it-yourself outdoor shoe racks not only look beautiful, but also help you organize the space of a small hallway. It is quite easy to make them though.
How to make a simple shelf
To create the claimed product, you should purchase or prepare some tools and materials in advance. As connecting elements, you can use whatever suits you best. But the most popular are ordinary screws, brackets and dowels.
Note!
For example, take a photo of the shelves with your own hands, which is presented below. It depicts a product with the following parameters: width 250 mm, height 300 mm, length 1100 mm. The manufacturing process for convenience will be divided into stages.
Stages of work
At the first stage, you need to markup. To do this, you should lay the boards on a table or any other flat surface and transfer the measurements from the drawings. The side walls must have a height of exactly 268 mm.
This marking is optimal because the side walls will be located between the two parts.
At the second stage, it is required to cut the boards. To get even and neat cuts, you need to use an electric jigsaw. After cutting, you will get 2 fairly long blanks and 2 shorter ones.
At the third stage, you can start processing the received blanks. The resulting segments should be covered with a special protective varnish or stain, after sanding them.
Note!
In the event that you plan only to paint the shelf, you can get by with a conventional antiseptic primer. So you will increase not only the service life, but also achieve a more even distribution of paint.
At the fourth stage of making a wooden shelf with your own hands, you proceed to its direct assembly. The bottom board should be laid on a flat surface. Step back 8 mm from the ends of the workpiece and draw two lines parallel to the cuts.
They should mark 2 points with a distance of 5 cm from the edge. At the marked points, it is necessary to drill holes for self-tapping screws. With the second workpiece it is necessary to do the same manipulations.
After that, you should install the side blanks on the bottom of the board and secure them. Once you're done attaching the side panels, move on to installing the top panel and securing it.
At the fifth stage, you should fix the brackets on the ends of the side panels, and make several holes for the dowels in the wall. After that, screw in the screws so that they protrude by 5 mm. And now your shelf is ready.
You can make acoustic shelves in the same way, but you need to take into account the dimensions of the equipment itself. Measurements should be taken carefully, because if you make a mistake, the work will have to start over.

DIY shelves photo
Very simple! Such furniture is assembled in an evening even by those who have never held a hammer in their hands. A few hours of work, and your home will have a stylish closet from the cover of a fashion design magazine.
You can strictly follow our instructions, or you can choose your own sizes, add more shelves, hooks, and even hang cabinet doors on hinges. True, it will be a completely different model!
In order to make a wardrobe with your own hands, you will need.
Order cutting plywood 2 cm thick:
- 50 cm x 180 cm - for side walls - 2 parts;
- 50 cm x 90 cm - for the shelf, top and bottom - 3 parts;
- 30 cm x 180 cm - for the back wall - 1 piece;
- copper or chrome pipe;
- wood screws;
- round mirror with a diameter of 20 cm (optional);
- pipe cutter (or ask to cut the pipe right away in the store);
- electric drill and drills;
- grinder or sandpaper;
- screwdriver;
- construction roulette;
- ruler.
We make a wardrobe with our own hands
As usual, we recommend not to bother with self-cutting parts, but simply buy a sheet of plywood 2 cm thick in a building supermarket and immediately ask him to cut it to the dimensions we need. The only thing to do when you bring the cut parts home is to sand them well with sandpaper or grinder, if there.
Once!
On the side parts from the bottom edge, measure 2.5 cm up and draw a horizontal line - this will be the bottom part, the bottom of the cabinet. Measure another 50 cm up and draw another horizontal line - there will be a cabinet shelf. In principle, you can choose the height of the shelf.
On the same side parts, measure 12 cm from the top edge and draw the third line - at this level there will be a crossbar for the coat hanger. Find the center of the line and mark it with a cross - here you need to drill a hole into which the pipe will fit tightly.
Check again if you have correctly duplicated all the marks on both side parts: there should be no gaps!
We drill a hole for the pipe in one side part, put the second one under it, circle it with a pencil, drill in the second.
Two!
We collect the entire cabinet. First, we attach the upper, middle and lower shelves to one side part. After making sure that everything is in place, attach the second side part, and at the end the back.
It is better to drill thin holes first, and then put everything on self-tapping screws. And do not drive the screws all the way until you are sure that everything is in its place.
Three!
Insert the pipe into the holes, cut it to the correct level, considering whether you want to use it as an external hook as well. You can glue the mirror on the back or, for example, on the side wall. If desired, you can make additional hooks outside or inside the cabinet, for example, for belts and scarves.
Get a perfectly smooth wooden surface without changing the color - exactly as in the photo - you can use Wood Oil. Apply oil to the surface so that it is a little more than necessary, wait 15-20 minutes, wipe off the excess. If using oil with wax, remember to pre-prime the surface with a so-called Food Contact Oil.
If you want to turn an inexpensive light wood into a noble "rosewood" or "ebony" - use Belinka Interier water-based azure in the desired shade. Apply the azure with a brush, wait 3-4 hours, apply the second layer.
If you decide to give your cabinetry a bright overlay color, use wood paint. You can immediately paint both wooden and metal parts with the same paint using Belinka Universal enamel.
Ready!
I already talked about the last project, but at the time of shooting, something still wasn’t ready. You can read the whole project here http://zhenya-zhdanova.livejournal.com/25112.html, and now I want to talk about how we made wardrobes in children's rooms. The complex configuration of space and sky-high budgets of carpentry workshops made the brain work frantically. The search for a solution led to this approach - we will build cabinets from Ikea, but we will change them beyond recognition. Then, with a reasonable budget and effort, they will look like a million. They decided to make the decoration from soft and functional eco-leather, and decorate the facades with imitation of panels using furniture studs.
So, first we bought ready-made Pax frames 230 cm and 200 cm high and adapted their dimensions to the configuration of the attic bevel.
Then we bought the most inexpensive facades http://www.ikea.com/ru/ru/catalog/products/S09848433/ and also adapted them to the dimensions of the constructed frames.
Bought several samples of furniture studs to choose the most suitable ones.
And experimented with masking tape with tape layout options
Got vintage pens from an Italian flea market and thought about using them. True, there were only three pens, and in the end we were forced to abandon this idea.
And the most interesting began. 5mm foam rubber was glued onto the horizontally laid out facades. Foam rubber was not glued to the ends. After drying, they began to glue the eco-leather.
For work, I used this glue.
Glued in such a way that the edge of the skin coincides with the inner line of the facade. The corners were fixed with a stapler and left to dry. Once the skin had set, the staples could be removed from the stapler. And we got here atkoy edge.
These photos still show some traces of "cutting" of the facades, which we will putty and touch up in the future.
We draw a line of upholstery with a pencil and clearly begin to fasten the clove tape along it. We move from the center to the edges to maintain tension in the fabric.
We first try on all intersections, corners and joints in order to more accurately calculate the step
