How to make a sliding locker on the balcony. Do-it-yourself cabinet for cans on the balcony

Today, in apartments, the balcony is usually not empty. The owners strive to use this space as rationally as possible. There are many ways to decorate and use free space. It all depends on personal preference. An excellent solution is cabinets on the balcony, the design of which you can see in our article.

Purpose and benefits

Often all kinds of household utensils are stored in this room. It is important to arrange everything in perfect order. For this, special built-in loggia cabinets are ideal. They are the most spacious and comfortable.

The wardrobe for the balcony has the following advantages:

• durable construction;
• operation for a long time;
• excellent capacity;
• optimal functionality;
• choice of preferred design.

Everyone chooses the right design. Many people prefer a built-in wardrobe on the loggia, the photo of which is presented on the site.

Choosing the right type

Today, there are various types of cabinets on the balcony, photos of which you can see below. Each of them has its own advantages.

Embedded structures

The built-in wardrobe on the balcony can be with compartment doors or hinged doors. You can choose your preferred color and material. The variety of door designs is also impressive. The built-in wardrobe on the balcony is a great solution for modern apartments.

Designs with sliding doors

The lockers on the balcony, photos of which you will find below, are as practical as possible in terms of opening. Doors do not require additional space. Open windows or a laundry drying system will not interfere with such doors. But access to the closet to the balcony is somewhat limited as a result. Will he make up? width.

Swing structures

An economical solution, but a certain space is required for the free opening of the doors. Access is completely free.

Roller shutter options

The main advantage: there is no need for additional space for opening. A notable plus is full access. The service life is quite long (up to 10 years).

Insulated structures

You can store various blanks. If desired, it is worth insulating only a part. It all depends on how much you plan to store in it. You can insulate with the help of heat-insulating materials:

• mineral wool;
• penoplex;
• foam.

There are also thermal and electrical structures. They constantly maintain a certain temperature.

materials

Plastic

The plastic wardrobe on the balcony is resistant to all sorts of influences. The surface is incredibly easy to care for. If desired, it is possible to make the cabinet doors to the balcony from plastic hinged or compartment.

clapboard

The design impresses with aesthetics. It looks the most effective. The material is eco-friendly. Its cost is really democratic.

Aluminum

Designs made of this material are ideal for rooms with high humidity. Aluminum is not afraid of corrosion and perfectly withstands temperature changes.

Chipboard

The most budget option. This material is not afraid of temperature changes. There are plates resistant to moisture. You can choose the right color that will be the perfect complement to the interior.

metal-plastic

The frame is made of aluminium. PVC doors, plastic shelves. This design is not afraid of high humidity, frost and heat.

Wood

This material is natural. It requires meticulous care. The tree is afraid of moisture. It is necessary that the loggia be glazed. When exposed to direct sunlight, the wood will darken.

Metal

These cabinets for balconies and loggias, photos of which you can see on the site, are affordable. At the same time, they are extremely durable. They are made from the highest quality steel. The polymer coating ensures long-term operation.

Choosing the right design

Designs differ depending on the type of loggia.

corner

Such a corner cabinet on the balcony allows you to make the most efficient use of all available space. You can also effectively smooth the corners.

For p44t series houses

The loggia in the houses of this series is similar to the "boot". The closet on the balcony, the photo of which is presented below, is good to do in the existing recess. To increase the space, it is good to use the end part as well and install the closet on the balcony.

We do it ourselves

If you wish, you can make a wardrobe on the loggia with your own hands. It's not difficult at all. Preliminary measurements are made, as well as a drawing.

Necessary:

1. Each shelf has two metal brackets.
2. Chipboard sheets for shelves. They are cut to the width of the wall.
3. Plastic panels (2 pcs.). They need to be cut to the height of the structure.

Shelves for the cabinet on the loggia, the photo of which is presented below, are attached to the side wall.

The manufacture of cabinets for the balcony should begin with mounting brackets to the wall. The distance between them is the same. Shelves should be placed on them and fixed with self-tapping screws.

At a distance of 3 cm from the shelves, a track should be attached to the ceiling. Insert the door into the top rail. This is a chipboard sheet with rollers pre-screwed to it. Then remove the door and screw the guide from below. It remains to insert the door.

Is it difficult to make a closet on the balcony with your own hands - we compare, assemble in 5 stages and admire

A high-quality balcony wardrobe is the dream of most city apartment owners. Such furniture is not mass-produced, respectively, it is either ordered or made by hand. Let's look at the types of such structures, and home craftsmen will receive step-by-step instructions for assembling an inexpensive and relatively simple cabinet model in 5 steps.

materials

The choice of material depends on the level of thermal insulation of the loggia or balcony. It is pointless to collect furniture on open balconies, in a couple of years it will become unusable, so we do not even consider this option.

The balcony differs from the loggia in that on the balcony all 3 outer sides are open, and on the loggia there are 1 or 2 capital (concrete or brick) side walls.

A loggia with glazing, but without thermal insulation, is protected only from moisture and precipitation, for the January frosts and the July heat, light glazing is not a hindrance. On such balconies, only cabinets made of durable wood or good plastic “survive”, and they are used to store what it is a pity to throw away.

Metal-plastic windows and high-quality insulation of the lower part of the balcony radically change the picture. Even if such a loggia is conserved in winter, it will still have a positive temperature, respectively, you can store canned food in glass in the closet or use it as a vegetable warehouse.

For the construction of cabinets on insulated balconies without additional heating, wood, plastic, MDF and drywall are used. It is not advisable to use laminated chipboard in such a room, since after 3-4 years, due to temperature and humidity changes, the finish will begin to peel off.

Insulated heated balcony, in fact, is a full-fledged living room, there are no restrictions on the materials for assembling the cabinet. If you need beautiful and not expensive, then chipboard is taken. Wood, MDF and high-quality plastic will cost more.

Color solution

The area of ​​our balconies and loggias is limited, so the finish should be light, as the white color visually enlarges the space. The best option is pure white or some kind of light coloring. Natural wood is actively used, but again in light colors.

Shelves and drawers

• The size of the shelves for the balcony design depends on their purpose. For conservation and small household utensils, a height of 30 - 40 cm is enough. In home-made cabinets, it is easier to install shelves across the entire width of the balcony. The design is already small, so there is no point in dissecting it into many small cells;

• Some owners prefer to make a closet with two compartments. One compartment is high for bulky items such as an ironing board, and the second consists of standard shelves. The option is convenient, plus with self-assembly it is not much more complicated than the previous one, while the size and proportions of the sections are selected individually;

• Drawers in homemade designs are rare. Firstly, the master needs to assemble the box itself, which can be problematic for an amateur, and secondly, drawers on the balcony are relevant only if the workplace is arranged. In addition, sliding fittings significantly increase the cost of the cabinet.

cabinet shape

The choice of the shape, filling and facade of the cabinet primarily depends on the financial capabilities of the owner and only then on the configuration of the room. An important role is played by the presence of a tool and the professional skills of a home master.

Embedded structures

If you follow the rules, then built-in cabinets are called cabinets placed in a natural or artificially created niche. In our country, 90% of loggias and balconies have a regular rectangular shape, without any niches.

The only exceptions are new buildings of the P44 type. In them, the balcony has the shape of a "boot" and in this small space people have adapted to build in furniture. More often, a bedside table is installed in these “spouts”, but some build a cabinet there for the entire height of the cell.

Swing structures

If you do not take into account open shelves, then the facade with hinged doors is the simplest in terms of self-arrangement. With the current abundance of awnings, even an amateur armed with a single screwdriver can install a pair of doors. Plus, the price of such a facade is small.

But there is one significant drawback in swing structures - to open the door you need free space in front of the closet, which creates certain inconveniences on small balconies.

Roller shutter options

Roller shutters or as they are also called - roller shutters are considered a good solution for balcony cabinets. A flexible curtain made of horizontal slats is wound on a shaft located under the ceiling of the balcony. On both sides, this curtain is fixed with guides.

There are 3 options for roller shutters, they differ in the material from which the slats are made;

1. Aluminum is a lightweight and durable curtain that can withstand any temperature, humidity and other hardships, the only negative is the high price;
2. Steel - steel lamellas are cheaper than aluminum, but the curtain is heavy, so the box will have to be firmly attached to the concrete ceiling slab;
3. Plastic is the most suitable option for a loggia. The plastic curtain is light, it is not afraid of temperature changes and can be mounted both on the ceiling or walls of the balcony, and on the cabinet body.

There are several types of mechanisms for roller shutters. It makes no sense to describe everything, I can only say that it is better to install a spring-inertial system on balcony cabinets. It opens and closes by hand, plus the curtain itself is fixed in any position.

Insulated structures

On cold loggias, some economical owners are trying to separately insulate the closet. Theoretically, this is not difficult to do, you just need to glue the box from the inside with foam plastic or foam foam, and blow out the gaps with mounting foam. But there is no particular point in such insulation, because in order for the preservation not to freeze, heating must be installed inside the cabinet.

I, like most masters, do not welcome this approach. To ensure a normal microclimate, it is necessary to completely insulate the balcony. Half-measures, such as warming the closet alone, do not give a result, there are a lot of body movements, but little sense.

clapboard

Lining - these are strips of a special configuration that are joined according to the tenon-groove principle and form a continuous coating. There is a wooden and plastic lining. Both types are suitable for sheathing a balcony, but only wood is used to build a cabinet.

There are a couple of nuances here, firstly, there are 4 types of lining, only the first grade (A) and the highest grade (Extra) are used to design furniture with your own hands. Secondly, on cold loggias it is desirable to cover the tree with waterproof varnish in several layers.

metal-plastic

A wardrobe with a metal-plastic facade is done quickly, but it is expensive. You can’t do it yourself at home, you just need to order it from window and door manufacturing companies. The only thing you can save on is knocking down the frame yourself and installing shelves with drawers.

If you order glazing and insulation of a balcony at a company, then it makes sense to immediately agree on the installation of a cabinet. In this case, the cabinet will cost a third cheaper than ordering it separately.

Five stages of self-assembly and arrangement of the cabinet

Of the above options, you cannot independently assemble only a metal-plastic cabinet. All other models are within the reach of the home master, the only question is the availability of tools and material.

Stage 1: a list of tools needed for carpentry work on arranging wood cabinets

To arrange a wooden cabinet, you need more tools than when working with any other material. We provide a complete list for comfortable work, but it contains some devices that you can do without, especially if you decide to make a cabinet, for example, from chipboard.

• Perforator or electric drill with impact function - needed for any type of work;
• Electric jigsaw;
• Hacksaw for wood;
• Hacksaw for metal;
• Hammer;
• Awl;
• Roulette;
• Pencil;
• Laser level (can be replaced with a hydraulic level);
• bubble level;
• Plumb;
• Ruler metal;
• A set of chisels;
• Screwdriver;
• Drill "Fortsner" (used for inserting furniture four-hinged canopies);
• Fountain drills (for arranging large diameter holes in wood)
• Plane;
• Grinding machine (replaced with a nozzle for an electric drill or a hand block with emery);
• Mallet (rubber or wooden mallet);
• Pliers;
• Minimum 2 - 3 clamps;
• Square;
• File set with round and flat rasp.

Stage 2: what the frame is made of

For self-assembly, 3 frame options are suitable - from chipboard plates, from metal profiles for drywall and wood. I will talk about drywall constructions later. With the rest of the materials, the situation is as follows:

• The use of wooden bars is the easiest and cheapest option, but you should not expect a luxurious factory look from such a cabinet, the “hand-made” is immediately visible, plus the tree will have to be sanded, impregnated with stain and varnished;

• Chipboard or MDF boards cost 2 times more than wood, but the price is acceptable. To get the perfect look, you will have to order sawing and cultivation of the ends in a furniture workshop, which will entail additional costs.

Wooden frame assembly
Illustrations	Recommendations
	Drawing. Decide on the filling of the cabinet and draw a sketch of the future design. Beauty is not needed, the main thing is to indicate all sizes. You need a sketch to describe in detail the details (of what and how much you need), lumber is bought according to the details.
	Vertical bounce. On a plumb line, mark where you will have load-bearing racks.
	Rack installation. At first, the racks are attached to the floor and ceiling, and then they are fixed on the walls. The rack is screwed to the concrete with a metal corner. From above and below, pieces of penofol are placed under the racks, they compensate for the temperature and humidity expansion of the wood.
	Shelf frame. On the basis of vertical racks, with the help of metal corners, a frame is assembled for horizontal shelves
	doors. In the budget version, the doors are knocked out of the lining and hung on vertical racks. The easiest way is to use butterfly hinges, they do not require a tie-in and are screwed directly onto the timber and the door, plus the appearance of such canopies is quite decent.

Stage 3: what to make shelves from

Traditionally, shelves are made either from wooden planks 20 mm thick, or from furniture sheet chipboard 16 - 20 mm thick. If a planed board is impregnated with an antiseptic and varnished, then it will stand on the balcony for more than a dozen years. They are placed on the transverse planks of the frame.

Chipboards behave well on a warm balcony, but if you have a room with poor insulation, then it is better to refuse this option. Shelves are fixed to the frame using metal or plastic corners.

Stage 4: selection of materials for sheathing and doors

Since we are talking about self-arrangement, some of the materials automatically disappear. If the balcony is finished with wood, then it is better to knock down the doors from a planed board (20 mm) or assemble from a lining. The slats are assembled on a wooden frame, after which the doors are hung on the base.

It is desirable to order doors from chipboard in the workshop. To cut the slab without chips, you will need a hand-held circular saw, which is expensive, plus it is impossible to laminate the ends with high quality at home.

Stage 5: installation of doors on the built cabinet

Hanging a wooden door leaf on a vertical wooden beam is not difficult. It is necessary to mark the installation points for the canopies, then punch the holes with an awl and screw in the screws.

Installing four-hinged furniture hinges is a little more difficult. First you need to drill a blind hole in the doors under the bed of the canopy. For this procedure, a Fortsner drill is used. Further along the template that comes with the canopy, screw the hinges to the doors and base with self-tapping screws.

Advice - if you want to install compartment sliding doors on the facade, but have never encountered this, then it is better to assemble the frame yourself, and order the doors ready.

The use of drywall

Assembling a metal frame from UD and CD profiles and sheathing it with plasterboard sheets is a relatively simple task, but I do not advise you to do this for 3 reasons:

1. Gypsum board is afraid of temperature changes and is used only in warm rooms;
2. The bearing capacity of the shelves of such a cabinet is small;
3. After assembling the frame and sheathing it with sheets, the plasterboard still needs to be puttied and painted, and this is long, dirty and troublesome.

Output

I tried to answer all the burning questions that a novice master has when building a balcony cabinet. In the video in this article you will find some valuable recommendations from professionals. If you have any questions, write in the comments, I will try to help.

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, ask the author something - add a comment or say thanks!

Most often, a whole lot of items, necessary things are stored on the balcony. In order to make the most optimal use of space, it is worth installing a wardrobe on the balcony.

Such a solution will help to use the space in a practical way, free from unnecessary workload.

In order to figure out how to choose the right cabinet, read the selection criteria and recommendations.

Criterias of choice

They are essential when buying, because not every model is suitable in size, or service life. So, important selection criteria.

Size

With a small balcony, the wardrobe should be selected in accordance with this. Measure the height and width in advance so as not to miscalculate. Thanks to timely measurements, you will save yourself not only time, nerves, but also money.

Consider protruding window sills. This will help to competently approach the issue of installation and placement of the cabinet. Just a few millimeters can play a trick on you.

A corner cabinet for a balcony is a great option for placing a cabinet in the corner. Thus, it will take up part of the space, compactly fit all the necessary items.

Term of use

The temperature regime of the balcony is different than the apartment. Therefore, due to weather changes, furniture suffers. Therefore, it is so important to take this fact into account when choosing.

Depending on your location, the weather that is typical for the region, they choose such a built-in wardrobe on the balcony that will withstand temperature fluctuations and instability. The material must be well tolerated by moisture.

materials

For the manufacture of suitable wooden materials, MDF, chipboard. These are quite popular materials in the manufacture of furniture.

Before buying directly, pay attention to the properties of the material, its resistance to high moisture and low temperature conditions.

Note! A properly selected item, as seen in the photo of the wardrobe on the balcony, will not only become a place for compact and functional arrangement of things, but also decorate the space, become an interesting interior decoration.

DIY wardrobe

If you have ever thought about how to make a closet on the balcony, then you should familiarize yourself with the following points.

If you have the necessary amount of material and basic skills, you can easily do it yourself without the help of specialists.

It is also worth saying that buying separate materials for the manufacture of a beautiful wardrobe on the balcony, you will save a lot of money.

Think over a sketch of future furniture in advance. Consider the dimensions, weight that will fall on the cabinet.

Having selected all the necessary materials and tools, proceed with the assembly. For this process, you will need nails, or screws.

The first option is quite convenient when disassembling the structure, accessible to everyone. The second one is more aesthetically pleasing, but they require special tools to use.

If it's easy for you to create a blueprint and then do a good job, then you can certainly do it.

If you are doing this for the first time, it is better to ask for help, or still buy a ready-made wardrobe for the balcony.

The positive side of the choice

There are several positive aspects of choosing a cabinet:

• you save space. After all, the design of the cabinet itself implies a compact room for many items for comfortable operation;
• low price, it all depends on the model you choose, or the independent execution of the product;
• suitable for absolutely everyone, because you can make a wardrobe on the balcony to order. This choice is suitable for those who want to add their own zest to the furniture, to complement it;
• from the aesthetic side, the right combination of colors will decorate your interior.

Minuses

It is also worth talking about the disadvantages of choosing:

• difficult location. It is necessary to calculate in advance the dimensions, height, width to be able to fit the cabinet on the balcony;
• the ability of the material to withstand high or low temperatures, the presence of high moisture and resistance to heavy loads must be taken into account.

conclusions

To choose the right cabinet, it is worth considering its dimensions and criteria such as moisture resistance and resistance to temperature extremes. It is not necessary to buy, you can make a piece of furniture yourself.

A cabinet selected according to all criteria will serve you for a long time without creating unnecessary inconvenience.

Photo cabinets for the balcony

A wardrobe can be simple, roomy and very modest on the outside, or vice versa - it can be a piece of vintage furniture on a sunny balcony. If you want to find a compromise solution and combine the simplicity of design with the visual appeal of things, this material will help you to realize your plans.

Balcony rating

The closet itself will be the way it can be imagined on this balcony. If the balcony is not insulated, then no wardrobe will do - any temperature changes will affect the condition of the furniture. Also check for cracks. They will need to be covered up when found. If you leave gaps, some moisture will get on the balcony, and the furniture will have to dampen much earlier than is generally possible.

The floor covering also needs to be leveled and insulated. It can be ordinary linoleum. You can, of course, spend money on laminate and tile. The most important thing is that it should be warm and dry on the balcony, it depends on whether the cabinet you conceived will be used for a long time.

Where to start building a closet

A lot has been written about how to make a closet. But preparatory work is often not given attention.

And the process of preparing for the construction of the structure includes:

• Measurement of room parameters for cabinet drawing.
• Creation of a drawing taking into account the dimensions and wishes in appearance.
• An optional moment, but still: creating a cardboard layout (it helps a lot).
• The drawing should show how many shelves are in the cabinet, what are the height and width of the shelves, etc.
• Definition of materials.

As for the material - laminated chipboard leads the list of the most used. If you order this material, you can include in the order sawing the laminate according to the drawing. That is, you submit your drawing, dimensions to the company, and they will cut the laminate themselves. For many, this is a good option if there are no conditions for self-cutting.

If the balcony is sheathed with wood, then the material for the cabinet should be related. And if the balcony cladding is represented by plastic panels, then the material for the cabinet should also be plastic.

How to calculate the dimensions correctly

A pencil, tape measure and a piece of paper are needed to measure.

Three parameters are measured:

• height;
• width;
• depth.

Think about the internal shelves: as practice shows, there are not many of them. If there was already a closet on the balcony and you just want to update it, take measurements from the old locker.

Accessories and other devices, without which it will be difficult to assemble a convenient locker, can be purchased today in literally every hardware store. You can also find factory elements there - it is from them that many people prefer to make a closet. That is, ready-made parts are bought, and then they are simply adjusted to the desired size.

Using the example of factory blanks, we can consider the construction of one of the balcony cabinets.

Prefabricated wardrobe

To assemble a locker from factory parts, you need to prepare the tools.

Required accessories and tools:

• screwdriver;
• electric jigsaw;
• euro screws;
• wood screws;
• furniture tape;
• Phillips screwdriver;
• iron;
• hammer;
• clamps;
• metal square;
• metal corners.

If factory blanks are made of chipboard (and most often this is the case), it is worth remembering the recommendations for working with this material. The surface must be protected from moisture, if it is laminated chipboard - the issue is resolved, if not - it is desirable to paste over the surface with a protective film.

So that the material does not crack at the moment of screwing in the euro screw, the hole must be made initially of a smaller diameter. European screws with a hex head are preferred - they are not afraid of moisture, but ordinary screws will begin to rust over time.

Cabinet assembly step by step

If all the tools are prepared, and the parts correspond to the drawings, you can proceed with the assembly.

The assembly order will be:

• First, a wooden frame is assembled. The bottom of the entire structure and the side wall must be connected. For this, the sidewall must be installed on the end and connected at an angle of 90 degrees. This knot must be fixed with a clamp.
• Holes need to be drilled in the bottom and in the sidewall. To make countersunk heads of euro screws, you need to chamfer using a larger drill.
• The bolts are screwed in with a screwdriver, and the bolt heads are closed with plugs.
• When the frame parts are fastened, the legs can be screwed to the bottom of the cabinet.
• After that, the frame must be put in that place on the balcony where the cabinet will have to stand all the time. This is necessary to check the dimensions of the structure.
• When the dimensions are checked, the frame must be laid down again with the facade, and we will start equipping the back wall. A plywood sheet is suitable for this purpose. You can fix it with a special stapler.
• The process is completed by drilling holes for the shelves, installing doors, fittings and attracting magnets.

With the help of purchased furniture parts, you can make such a beautiful and simple wardrobe. However, not everyone likes to buy not the cheapest ready-made furniture parts; an alternative option may be instructions on how to make a do-it-yourself cabinet from lumber.

Timber balcony locker

You can use different lumber, one of the best is pine. It is easy to process and decorate it is also easy.

Cabinet Materials:

• timber 40 by 40 mm,
• board 3 cm thick,
• fittings,
• hardware,
• plane,
• electric drill,
• hammer,
• roulette,
• hacksaw,
• level,
• plumb line,
• 2 clamps.

Step-by-step instructions for designing a cabinet looks like this:

• According to the drawing, blanks are cut to size.
• As in the previous description, the frame and all vertical parts are assembled first. Their verticality is verified by the level.
• The skeleton of the beam must be assembled to make the bottom. It is fixed with a fixing kit directly to the floor, and the upper base, respectively, to the ceiling.
• Now the structure needs to be put together, and inside the resulting frame, install the bars for the shelves.
• The height of the shelves is measured by the height of the items that will potentially stand in the locker.
• Hinges, fittings and doors are better, of course, to buy in the store. Marriage in these details will violate the integrity of the entire structure.
• Hanging doors: hinges are attached to the vertical racks of the cabinet, half of the door is applied, the place where the hinge will be attached is marked. Drill a hole and fasten the hinges with self-tapping screws. Doors are hung, their correctness is regulated.
• The final touch is the fastening of the handles on the door.

This closet is both simple and modern, comfortable and practical. The instructions may be improved during the assembly process, but the canvas remains the same.

How to make a wardrobe yourself - decorating

On a bright balcony, a snow-white wardrobe always looks great. This is a classic look that will never go out of style. And if things in it are to be stored in baskets, wicker designs, jars and boxes, a light closet will be cozy for these items. Therefore, painting the cabinet with white paint and varnishing is a win-win option.

If the cabinet has no doors, that is, it is more of a bookcase, and some shelves need to be hidden from view, this problem can be solved like this:

• Bright curtains made of light fabrics in a rustic style;
• Light curtain made of transparent fabric;
• Boxes that hide in their depths everything that should not be visible to the eye.

The decoupage technique, which is loved by many today, can help here too: you can’t imagine a better decor for a closet. If you have fine art skills, you can decorate the cabinet with special furniture markers. It is modern and fresh, especially if the patterns or designs are humorous.

Stained glass film and self-adhesives can also come in handy: you don’t need to be a specialist to paste over a cabinet with them.

If you are a scrupulous owner, and every little thing is important, then the inside of the locker also needs decoration. That is, by opening the cabinet doors, you can see interestingly decorated interior walls. The easiest option in this case is bright wallpaper.

Carefully paste over the inner walls of the cabinet, if the wooden beams get in the way, just paint them in the color that occurs in the wallpaper pattern.

You can use more than one type of wallpaper, but several: to create such a fancy mosaic.

Just painting the cabinet from the inside with paint is also an option. But you can go this way - leave the wall where the inside of the locker falls, brick. And paint these same bricks snow-white. Very stylish and up to date.

It is not difficult to build a wardrobe on the balcony if you have experience in designing at least something, even if it is an ordinary stool. Make cardboard templates, carefully check the dimensions, use only high-quality components, and the cabinet will definitely work out. Rating 0.00 (0 Votes)
