Signaling

In small rooms it is always important to use every centimeter of space. Shelves on the walls allow you to place almost all the little things: from cosmetics, decorative elements, flowers to heavy books. And most importantly, they are inexpensive, easy to hang with your own hands and even make. We have prepared interesting ideas shelves with photographs.

For the simplest shelf you don’t need much: one laminated chipboard and two brackets will cost less than 500 rubles. It can support up to 50 kg when using high-quality brackets. It should be remembered that beautiful decorative brackets are not designed to hold a lot of weight.

For attachment to concrete wall use standard dowel-nails 6x60 mm. The shelf can be hung more securely on anchors.
If the wall is made of plasterboard, fastening is done using special dowels (butterflies, umbrellas). At the same time, the maximum load is significantly reduced: it is no longer possible to store heavy books.
For walls made of cellular concrete When fastening, special expansion anchors are used.

We use every corner

In the kitchen narrow shelves can be placed above dining table in several rows. This will free up the table.

The space in the toilet behind the toilet is usually not used in any way; pipes run there. If you install narrow shelves, they will not disturb anyone, and the new storage space will household chemicals will appear.

Open shelves behind the toilet. They can be closed with doors. Or roller shutters.

In narrow rooms, shelves are mounted between two walls.

For books

Horizontal book shelves require holders or side walls. Therefore, they often make small vertical shelves, diagonal, corner ones - this way the books will not fall.

In a schoolchild's children's room, the shelves are located above desk. They should be of a convenient size and reliable fastening so that all textbooks fit.

Shelves from IKEA

IKEA LACK.

Universal solution- IKEA LACK shelves. Why and how they were not used. They are sold in several versions: 110, 190, 30 cm, in white, black, red, wood. There is also a 30 cm vertical shelf module. With a base thickness of 5 cm, classic colors and no visible fasteners, they look modern, match and complement IKEA cabinets.

LACK can be mounted evenly in a row, offset, in corners, at an angle; narrow shelves can be mounted vertically and used as limiters.

Corner shelves for small items. Mounting to adjacent walls. Shelf module in the bathroom.
Shoe storage. Storage in the toilet. Mounting above the desktop with offset.

Hidden mounted on the wall metal bracket, put a shelf on it and fix it with two small screws from below. Maximum load 7-15 kg, depending on length and base.

Decorative

Decorative shelves are not designed for heavy loads. They are needed for arranging accessories in the style of the interior, flowers, paintings.

Original shelves made from scrap materials

If you can’t find suitable shelves on sale or you have limited finances, you can make them yourself. To do this you will need several boards, screw ties and a standard set of tools. When making original designer shelves, the choice of material depends only on your imagination. Simple shelves are made of boards or chipboard. In the latter option, be sure to cover the ends with an edge. Shape and size homemade shelves can be absolutely any. If in the hallway or closet you can give preference simple designs, then it’s better to come up with something original in the kitchen or living room. For example, for the kitchen you can make vintage shelves for spices or original bottle shelves.

Shelves are open place for storage without door. This must be taken into account if you want to make a large shelving that covers the entire wall. In the living room, once filled with objects, they will look ugly, so it is better to use them there only for decorative elements. Using shelves in the interior will not only help put things in their places, but also add originality to the interior.

There is nothing better than shelves for organizing space in rooms, as well as for decorating the interior. Comfortable, functional, original in shape, 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 wide variety of materials - wood, fiberboard, glass, pieces of tin, plywood.

Types of Wall Shelves	Description
Classic	This type of shelves is the most common due to its simplicity, aesthetic appearance and ease of installation. They represent a huge flight of fancy: from simple square to creative asymmetrical 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
Hanging	This original way creating a shelf involves attaching a simple structure to the ceiling using cables or vertical posts
Floor-standing	This wall shelf is a floor support design. This type of product is especially relevant in 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 comfortable material for work. Wooden shelves come in simple, complex shapes, open and closed, vertical, horizontal and corner. Taking the basic option 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 flat, completely dry, without cracks, voids or traces of mold.

During the assembly process you will need:

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

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

Step 1. Marking

The boards are laid flat on the table and the 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 markings exactly match the diagram, you can start cutting. It is best to use a jigsaw for this, then the cuts will be perfectly smooth and neat. You should end up with 2 long pieces and 2 short ones.

Step 3. Processing of blanks

Before starting assembly, each workpiece must be sanded, stained and varnished. If you plan to simply paint a shelf, the blanks are processed - this increases their service life and makes the paint apply more evenly.

Step 4. Assembling the product

The bottom board is laid flat on a flat surface. From the ends of the workpiece, retreat 8 mm 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 there for the screws. The same is done with the top blank. When all the holes are ready, install the side blanks on the bottom board and tighten the screws. Place a second board on top and also fix the side walls with self-tapping screws.

Brackets are fixed at the ends of the side walls, holes are drilled in the wall for dowels, screws are inserted and screwed in so that they protrude by about 5 mm. The dowels must be positioned strictly horizontally, so before drilling, mark a line using a level. Now all that remains is to attach the brackets to the fasteners and hang the shelf. If desired, the back wall of the product can be filled with a piece of plywood, and glass can be inserted in front.

To be like this simple shelf has become more original; one side wall can be replaced with a stump of a thick branch. To do this, choose an even branch with a diameter of about 7-8 cm with smooth, clean bark, saw off a piece 28 cm long, and cut off all the side shoots. The chock is treated with a primer, dried and varnished. There is no need to remove the bark. 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, you can make various variations of 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 using metal plates. Or simply mount them on the wall separately, placing them at a short distance from each other.

Often, to save space, shelves are made into corners, 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 the ends cut at an angle. The process of making such a shelf is quite simple:

the halves of the top board are coated at the ends with glue and clamped with clamps;
repeat the same actions with the bottom board;
when the glue dries, all workpieces are covered with stain or primed;
Attachment lines are marked on the upper and lower workpieces and holes are drilled;
insert the side walls and secure 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 impressive, its service life is quite long, especially if pre-processed
Plastic	This material is the most versatile; it can imitate both wood and stone, while eliminating their shortcomings
Metal	Such wall shelves will be very strong, reliable and durable, but classic interior They will fit in with difficulty. In addition, corrosion can also be a problem, so metal products required special processing and conditions
Glass	Transparent wall shelves will create an atmosphere of lightness and comfort in your home. Of course, do it yourself glass structure it will be quite difficult, but if you still decide to do all the work yourself, then you will have to work with the glass for quite a long time and very carefully, especially if various cutouts are planned in the shelf design

Original shelves for books

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

To make it 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. Marking

On the prepared boards, mark the cut lines with a pencil under a ruler. Measurements should be taken very carefully, since all horizontal parts have different lengths.

Step 2. Trimming the blanks

The ends of each workpiece are cut at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. The diagram shows the first option, so you will 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, you will not be able to fold the shelf.

Step 3. Assembling the structure

The ends of the parts are smeared with glue, pressed tightly and additionally secured with slotted furniture screws. Ordinary self-tapping screws are not suitable here. Each joint will require at least 2 screws. Both parts of the shelf are applied to the wall, leveled and the attachment points are marked with a pencil. After this, holes are drilled for the dowels, 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, the following option is perfect - a board suspended on straps.

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 belts

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

Step 2. Attaching the straps to the wall

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

Step 3. Installing the shelf

A sanded 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 shelf is hung under this shelf, exactly repeating the steps described above. The result is a light and neat two-tier shelf. If desired, you can add another 1-2 tiers.

To make the shelves described above, you can use not only wood, but also plywood, as well as laminated chipboard sheets. The last option is used most often, since laminated chipboard is lightweight, high strength, practicality and durability. When assembling shelves from this material, all sections must be covered with a melamine edge to match the color of the sheet.

Making a glass shelf

Glass shelves fit harmoniously into any interior, and the installation process does not take much time. To 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 the cutting of blanks in a workshop. There they will also grind and polish the edges so that when installing the shelf you will not cut yourself on sharp edges. You can do everything else yourself.

Step 1. Marking for fasteners

The section of the wall where the shelf will hang should be as large as possible. Using a building level, draw a horizontal line on the wall with a pencil. The locations of the fasteners are marked on the line and holes are drilled.

Step 2. Installing profiles

An aluminum profile is applied to the wall surface and the alignment of the fastening marks is checked. Then insert dowels into the holes, attach the profile with one screw and level it horizontally. After this, tighten the remaining screws.

Instead of a drill, insert a bracket screw Screw in the bracket screw Leave the bracket screw protruding from the wall Check the position Place the shelves

Step 3. Attaching the shelf

Trailing edge glass shelf cover with adhesive tape. You can use separate spacers made of tape, placing them where the glass will touch the screw heads. The shelf is inserted into the profile, the edges of the profile are covered 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 shelves for the wall from scrap materials. For example, it looks original corner shelf from plastic pipes. To make it you will need pieces sewer pipes and corner cuts. The shelf is attached to the wall with screws and dowels.

Old suitcases and briefcases also make great wall shelves. To do this, they are cut to half their height, covered with plywood at the back and secured to the wall with screws or on brackets.

Drawers from unnecessary bedside tables are quite suitable for making shelves. To give them an elegant look, the boxes should be carefully sanded, primed and painted in bright colors. Then they are leaned against 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.

For work we need a sheet of plywood and woodworking tools. Nothing is in short supply, everything can be found in almost any garage.

We mark the sheet of plywood according to the sketch I made earlier. I took all the sizes by eye, according to my idea. So look and change as you want, you may not like this one big size which one I took.

We cut the sheet into strips of the width we need. Then we draw a hemispherical surface. I used a rope and a simple pencil as a compass.

We cut out six identical elements.

Then we align the edges and remove irregularities and burrs grinder.

I cut out the grooves with a jigsaw. We are trying to assemble a shelf. If everything is fine and nothing interferes or sticks out, we disassemble it. Lubricate the joints with glue and reassemble the entire structure.

Then we paint. You can apply stain in a couple of layers, and varnish on top. Or you can immediately varnish with dye.

The shelf is attached to the wall using these fasteners, which can be bought without any problems at any store that sells fasteners.
Two fasteners will be quite enough.

DIY round shelf

The round shape of the shelf is unusual and stylish solution for those who don’t particularly care about how to place more things on it and thus save space. It’s easy to make such a shelf with your own hands. Success will be predetermined if you choose the right source material for the shelf and correctly calculate the dimensions of the parts.

Most available material, which is both strong enough and easy to bend - this is fiberboard sheet . Two strips of estimated length (l) are cut out of it. At the same time, a board of the desired length is also prepared as a central shelf. Obviously, all these parts must have the same width. Now about the length of the strips.

DIY book shelf. Photo

From a geometric point of view, the central shelf is the diameter (d) of the outer contour of the future circle, and the stripes are, accordingly, half the length of the contour, therefore they depend on each other and are related to each other by the formula - l=3.14 x d/2.

Let's say the dimensions of the board are 150 by 700 mm, then the length of the semicircle will be equal to 3.14x700/2, that is, 1100 mm. Now let’s calculate the length of the fiberboard strips, taking into account their overlap, say, 70 mm: 1100 + 2x70 = 1240 mm.

Now let's look at how to make a shelf with your own hands using a sheet of fiberboard.

Stepping back from the end sides by the amount of overlap, apply to the strips marking. Then they begin to form a circle.

The edges of the strips are aligned with each other according to the markings and fixed using clamps. Careful so that the material does not burst, the strips are slowly bent, overlapping the free edges over each other.

Before you finally fix all the parts with screws, you need to make sure that they are correctly adjusted:

The DIY shelf is almost ready. All that remains is to finish it: cover by paint, varnish or other decorative composition. They hang it through furniture eyelets on screws screwed into the wall.

DIY hanging shelves

When choosing the interior for a small apartment, many people wonder whether it is possible to make a compact bookshelf with your own hands so that it does not take up much space. One of possible options- suspended structure.

First you need

The work is carried out in two stages: shelves and fastenings.

Prepare shelves, sawn to size.

Along their edges it is necessary to provide holes of the same size.

DIY hanging shelves. Photo instructions

The template is pressed to the board from the edge, say, using clamps, and make two holes, but not all the way - approximately to the middle of the thickness of the shelf.

The shelves are being processed sandpaper and finish. For example, you can paint in suitable for design color.

The shelves are completely ready, all that remains is to hang them. Reliability in this case, given the impressive weight of books, is no less important than aesthetics, so it is best suited for hanging a structure cable.

It is cut into pieces to size and a loop is made at one end using clamping clips.

They are suspended and fixed along the entire length with the required pitch. kegs.

Hooks with screws are attached strictly perpendicular to the wall, on which the cables are hung, and hanging shelves are already attached to them.

how to make a shelf with your own hands. Master Class

Blanks made of wood are aligned both in shape and size.

Mark the places under holes and do them with a drill with a feather drill. To avoid problems in the future, the diameter of the drill is chosen larger than the diameter of the rope by which the bookcase will be suspended.

It is easier to markup using template in the form of a 4x4 square cut out of paper. The template needs to be placed on the corner of the board and marked at the point of intersection of the diagonals of the square.

Color planks.

There are many options on how to make a shelf more interesting. You just need to show a little imagination, for example, paint it only from the ends.

Now the design can be gather. The rope is folded in half and, retreating approximately 30 cm, a knot is tied on each half. The ends are pulled through the holes on one side of the board and secured with another knot. The board thus becomes motionlessly fixed between two nodes. The process is repeated with each shelf, positioned in the required increments.

Do the same with the other side. The main thing that nodes on both sides are located at the same distance from each other.

The remaining free ends of the ropes are cut and unraveled to form tassels.

All that remains is to hang the finished bookcase on the wall.

This DIY shelf has several advantages:

DIY hanging shelves for photos

Is it possible and, most importantly, how to make a shelf on the wall so that it takes up very little space, and you can store a sufficient number of photos, albums, record collections and more there? Well, let's figure out how to make a shelf with your own hands so that it has a minimum depth

This shelf is actually several slats tied together with a rope. They have a bar attached to them that prevents photos, books, etc. from sliding off the shelf. In principle, there can be as many slats as you need, so first you need to decide on their location and quantity. This will make it much easier to calculate the width of the shelves and cut blanks.

After the preparations are sanded, the planks are attached to the slats: they can be nailed or glued. The nail heads are carefully hidden under a layer of special putty, and the plank is sanded again.

Stepping back from the edges by 2 cm, drill two holes in the shelf with a diameter slightly larger than that of the rope.

From each end of the first shelf they stretch rope, tightening the ends in a knot.

It will be much easier to do this if you wrap the threaded edge of the rope with tape or, say, electrical tape.

Put on the second shelf.

The process is repeated until all are installed.

The free ends of the ropes are tied to screws with hooks, screwed in at the required height. This is perhaps the most crucial moment, since the bottom shelf should be positioned strictly horizontally, and all the others will be aligned along it.

Horizontalness is checked by level, but it’s still a good idea

there will be someone’s help, because even if you know exactly how to make a shelf, you can do it alone final stage it will be a little difficult.

Since the number of shelves, as well as total length pipes are easily adjustable, let's stop at general scheme making this designer furniture.

Work begins with preparing shelves from wood. Special oil or wax is applied to them to obtain a smooth textured surface.

It would be nice if the shelves initially had an interesting texture.

If you cover the shelves also polyurethane varnish on water based they will acquire an even more magnificent shine.

After allowing the structure to dry, round ones are installed in each corner of the bottom shelf. flanges approximately 2 cm from the edge.

The location of the connecting parts is marked with a pencil.

The shelves are stacked and clamped using clamps.

A pilot hole is drilled through the center of the flange through the first and second flanges. For the next boards in order, the drill size needs to be changed to a larger one, since pipes will pass through them in the future.

Start assembly.

Each flange is placed on the lower shelf above the guide hole and secured to the surface.

Insert into the holes galvanized pipes the required length with threads at both ends and tighten into the flange wrench. A coupling is installed at the top.

When all the parts are mounted, flanges are screwed to the tops of the pipes and fixed to the top shelf.

The finished shelf can be made mobile if you install wheels on the bottom board.

The set will be more stable if you attach it to the wall using special studs or install an L-shaped bracket.

DIY kitchen shelf

Men will probably never understand why housewives never have enough shelves in the kitchen, but few will deny themselves the pleasure of surprising her with a simple but functional kitchen shelf with their own hands.

Making it is not difficult at all. You need to prepare two boards, preferably from hard rocks of the same length. One of them will be installed horizontally for various utensils, and the other - vertically. It will have wooden pegs, on which you can hang cups, potholders and more. The width of the boards may vary slightly.

On a board for cups mark places for perches. It is better to apply the markings symmetrically, then the outermost ones will be at an equal distance from the edges of the board.

Following the markings, drill holes, corresponding to the diameter of the pole.

Using a jig, this special device For drilling, you can make several holes to connect both planks. In extreme cases, you can use a countersink, then the recesses under the screw heads will need to be hidden with plugs.

Wooden pole polished sandpaper and cut into equal parts.

The holes for the perches are greased from the inside with wood glue and inserted pegs. They must perform equally. Excess adhesive is wiped off with a napkin.

If the pegs are very tight, you can use with a hammer.

Glued to their end part circles either plywood or wood. Do the same with excess glue.

The shelf is generally ready, it remains polish fine sandpaper and start appearance: handle stain and varnish or paint.

IN vertical board shelves drill two holes through which the shelf will be fixed to the wall with screws. The places for the screw heads are countersunk, and they themselves are covered with decorative plugs.

When installing shelves, use a level.

DIY plexiglass shelf

This shelf looks very light, without loading the interior with anything. Do-it-yourself transparent shelf is made from strips plexiglass of a given size, which is installed on original bead supports.

It is more convenient to cut it from a sheet if you buy it directly in the store.

The screws are selected on the basis that the diameter of its head should exceed the hole of the bead. If you have problems with this, you can use a washer.

Before installation, beads need to be paint gold spray paint.

Paint the wooden beads with gold spray paint.

In the wall drill pilot holes.

Six beads are put on a screw, screwed into the wall and leveled. The same is repeated with the second one. For a concrete wall, dowels are used; for a frame wall, the screws must fit into the wooden studs.

The plexiglass plate is placed on the resulting supports.

The shelf's thickness of 1.2 cm provides sufficient rigidity, but not so much that heavy objects can be placed on it.

DIY hanging shelf with straps
