DIY closet
It is always difficult to choose furniture for a house, but it is even more difficult to choose high-quality furniture, so a made cabinet in the hallway with your own hands will be a good option. To do this, you do not need to have any special skills or knowledge - you just need to be able to handle a few simple tools. In addition, furniture made by yourself will significantly save your family budget.
to contents ↑Material selection and sawing
From the tools you will need the following:
- Jigsaw.
- Roulette.
- Sandpaper.
- Furniture shield.
- Antiseptic.
Before starting work, it is necessary to choose the materials with which all further activities will be carried out. Often, two options are used, each of which has its positive and negative sides:
- Furniture shield. It is not used very often due to the rather high cost and limited sales points. But the shield is remarkably amenable to processing using any tools on wood, while it is environmentally friendly.
- Chipboard. Laminated boards are used much more often, since it is very simple to work with them, and their price is quite low. The disadvantages include the lack of environmental friendliness (in the manufacture of chipboard, synthetic resins are used that throw harmful substances into the air through unclosed areas). Also, this material has an almost unlimited color gamut, but none of the options is similar to the original tree. Density and thickness depend solely on wishes.

DIY cabinet
We use the traditional version as a model of a cabinet in the hallway with our own hands. Sawing here will be carried out using a band saw or jigsaw, so the process must be approached with utmost care:
- Side panels 220x50 cm - 2 pcs.
- The bottom, cover and partition 86x50 cm - 3 pcs.
- Headwear partition 86x40 cm - 1 pc.
- Back plate 90x220 cm - 1 pc.
- Vertical divider 48x148 - 1 pc.
- Shelves 41x48 cm - 2 pcs.
- Doors 212x44.5 cm - 2 pcs.
- The bottom panel is 8x88 - 1 pc.
Important! All details must be carefully sanded with fine-grained emery paper, and then coated with an antiseptic against moisture. After complete drying, further work should be carried out in a room with good ventilation, where it will be possible to make a cabinet, and then leave it there for a while.
Tools and materials
In order to make a cabinet in the hallway with your own hands, you will need the following:
- Furniture screws.
- Screwdriver.
- Corners.
- Hinges.
- Furniture shield.
- Galvanized pipe.
- Lacquer.
- Brush.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of the cabinet, you should once again check the material for cracks, chips and poorly sanded places, which will no longer be possible to fix in the future.
Important! Before leaving home, I always want to look at myself again and make sure that the image is in perfect order. And there is usually not so much space in the hallway, and I want to at least visually increase it.
You can easily solve both of these problems if you use our hallway design ideas mirrors.
Cabinet making
The process of making a cabinet in the hallway with your own hands is as follows:
- Install in parallel the side walls that you grab with the back shield.For joining, use furniture screws with a pitch of 25 cm, for which initially drill holes.
Important! It is imperative to remember about pre-drilling, as otherwise a crack can be launched.
- Measure 8 cm above the floor, then install the bottom plate. The method of its fastening is identical to that described above, however, tighten it carefully so as not to break the thread. At the same stage, fix the cover flush with the wall. The method of screed is the same as that of the bottom plate.
- Install a partition under the headgear, and then another horizontal one. Mount them in increments of 28 cm, as this is the thickness of the shield used.
- Fix the vertical jumper dividing the lower compartment into two equal halves using galvanized corners with plastic nozzles. Here you have to tinker a bit, because you should use 15 mm screws, for which the corresponding holes are drilled. Be very careful about the depth to be drilled so as not to go through. For fixation, use 4 pairs of corners to be able to grab them at all points.
- You can fix the shelves from either of the two sides, so you do not need to worry much with the choice. The step of their fixation is 28 cm, that is, set 4 strips for 5 shelves. Fix only on furniture screws, as corners can tear clothing, even if plastic caps are put on for protection. In another compartment, fasten the galvanized tube under the hangers using 15 mm screws.
- At the very end, install the lower bar under the cabinet and hang the doors. On each of the doors you will need a set of 2 hinges and 1 handle.
Important! Other practical devices will also help you get rid of the mess in the hallway, the manufacture of which you can easily master with your own hands after the cabinet:
Final stage
At the very end of the manufacture of the cabinet in the hallway with your own hands, there are 2 options:
- All made construction is varnished. Here you need to use PVA glue and sawdust in order to cover all external screws with this mixture. After varnishing, disassembling will no longer be possible, but damaging something will be much more difficult.
- The cabinet is completely disassembled, and its assembly will take place already in the corridor. Each individual element is varnished, and the plugs on the screws are worn after assembly, and you need to be very careful so as not to damage the wood.
to contents ↑Important! After the surface is completely varnished, it remains only to detect 36 hours, so that the varnish is completely dry. Only after this time can you begin to use the cabinet for its intended purpose.
