The hallway is the first thing they see when entering the apartment. Often the selection in stores is the same, and choosing furniture for the hallway is not easy. And if it is not large, then the cabinet simply may not fit or will take up all the space. In this case, you can make furniture for the hallway yourself. In addition to saving money, you'll get a custom model that fits your space.
The main rule for furniture in the hallway is that it should be roomy, compact, with a neat appearance. There is no need to decorate it excessively. In addition to decoration, it has the function of storing things. You should carefully consider the size, the presence of drawers and cabinets. It’s better if there are more of them, but you need to start from the area of the corridor; there’s no need to overload.
The hooks look nice unusual shape on the wall, plus a shoe rack.
Looks original, if available large hallway, wooden bench, it will add zest to the interior. A win-win wardrobe option, it will fit into any interior. And a wardrobe, if space allows - perfect solution, it is comfortable and roomy.
For small sizes, it is worth using:
With the help of the right project, you can transform even a small area, and the hallway will look organic and spacious.
The design of this room should be combined with the interior of the entire apartment. It is permissible to pick different decor or the floor covering is different from other rooms, but stylistic direction must be united.
When choosing a model, you should pay attention to practicality. If you have a small hallway, you should stop at standard version and choose multifunctional furniture: compartments for things, shoes.
The compromise between capacity and external beauty - corner cupboard. It looks small, but has great depth, so it is roomy.
In the presence of big family, it is necessary to think about a place for the belongings of each inhabitant of the apartment.
The hallway is a room into which dirt rushes from the street. Therefore, it should not be done in light colors, it will quickly get dirty. It is not advisable to carry things such as umbrellas, strollers, bicycles deep into the apartment; it is worth providing a storage system for them in the hallway.
Everything that is made with your own hands, including furniture, is always the embodiment of your ideas and desires. You can decorate the hallway to your taste and give it individuality. Such furniture will be one of a kind, and not mass-produced at the factory, and guests will be surprised by its exclusivity.
Having chosen a model and made a drawing, you should prepare everything that is needed for the work: material, fittings, tools.
Depending on the type of furniture, different fittings are needed:
You should stock up on the following tools:
This is a basic set that can be useful in making furniture.
Important given to the choice of material, you should not choose too expensive. In addition, it should be easy to process and safe for health.
Suitable: plywood, chipboard, fibreboard, MDF, furniture board, edged board, wooden block, drywall - they have a long service life and good quality.
When developing the design of the hallway, you need to take into account the characteristics of the room and the number of household members. You should decide on the functional accessories of the hallway so that it is practical and comfortable. With a small area, the beauty of the wardrobe will not be visible and it will look bulky. It is better to choose a corner hallway option. In addition, there should be enough shelves and hooks for all family members.
Correct solution– install furniture along a long wall.
Do simple hallway It’s not difficult for yourself. It includes: a hanger, a shoe rack, a small pencil case or a chest of drawers with a mirror.
For this you will need:
The first thing you need to start with is a pencil case. To do this, planks of the required size, a cover for the top (with an overlap) and shelves are cut out of the shield. Assembly is not difficult - the strips are attached to the lid using self-tapping screws, and the shelves are installed in the same way. For structural strength, corners are cut out of plywood and fixed in the corners. A door is made from the shield, which is mounted on 3 hinges.
Now we make the cabinets. If desired, you can make only one cabinet. To make it, you need 2 sidewalls of the same size and a bottom that will connect them to each other. The lid should be made smaller than the bottom. All parts are fixed with glue and screws. Doors are cut out of the shield and attached to hinges. If you have a drawer, you will need runners. You can make them yourself from plywood, but it’s better to buy them (the box will roll out easily). The second cabinet is made according to the same principle as the first.
Now, the whole structure is assembled. The prepared boards are attached to the edge of the pencil case and to the cabinet - this will be the base of the hanger. The boards are connected at the top with a lath for strength. Hooks for clothes are attached to the slats, and a shelf for hats is screwed on top.
The final stage is the installation of handles and varnishing.
Corner hallway It’s easy to do with your own hands, but to make it stable, you need to use solid material: chipboard, plywood. The module consists of 2 parts that are connected at right angles. In addition, you should decide whether there will be a frame or the walls themselves will become the base. If the walls are smooth, then you can do without a frame; attach the shelves directly to the walls - this will be economical.
Manufacturing principle:
If necessary, you can attach a mirror to the door or make sliding doors, thereby creating a corner wardrobe.
If you have a non-standard corridor, into which the wardrobe or hallways sold in the store will not fit, you can resort to the original and simple solution. For example, the presence of a bedside table or shoe rack, plus a hanger and a mirror.
You should start with the bedside table. 2 sidewalls of the same size, a base and a lid are cut out of a furniture panel. If there are skirting boards, then the corners are cut off from the sides (on one side). The back wall is made of plywood. All parts are fastened with self-tapping screws. Runners for drawers and fastenings for shelves are made inside. The doors are screwed on hinges.
A hanger in the hallway is an element you can’t do without. It’s not difficult to make and you can give free rein to your imagination. For lovers of eco-style and everything natural, tree branches are suitable instead of a hanger. Those who prefer country style need a vintage option.
Closet excellent choice for the hallway, can be built-in or separate. If there is a niche, shelves are mounted in it and it is equipped with a sliding system.
The process of making a cabinet with side walls:
You can make a wardrobe different sizes and models, depending on preferences and room area.
You can really make furniture for the hallway yourself. The models are quite simple and small in size. And if you have imagination, you can turn an ordinary hanger into a one-piece and unique thing.
Most pieces of furniture are quite simple in their design, which is quite reasonable. Cabinetmakers trace their craft back several centuries, but the production of furniture on a mass scale began relatively recently. And until this moment, each owner of the house made tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets independently.
You can do it yourself now. Moreover, modern instruments and materials greatly facilitate this process.
The furnishings in the hallway are neither ceremonial nor universal; all that is required of it is spaciousness, compactness and a neat appearance. There is a minimum of decoration here. Well, to be honest, decorating furniture is a simple and enjoyable task.
TO additional materials includes plasterboard - for arranging built-in niches, and furniture edge– a required element.
Depending on the type of furniture for the hallway you will need various kinds accessories:
The quantity and quality of fasteners are also selected depending on what exactly is being assembled:
The set of tools is quite standard: a screwdriver, a drill, a jigsaw or wood saw, a key for confirmation, a mallet. If the fastening is done with glue, and this is quite acceptable, then a clamp is definitely needed. To check verticality and horizontality, you will need a square and a building level.

The most critical stages of self-production include taking dimensions. If a mistake is made here, the rest work will go down the drain.
The model of a closet, hallway or chest of drawers is carefully calculated. Can be used finished drawing, if the dimensions are suitable for the hallway. If not, and own experience in drawing business is too small, it is better to contact a specialist and get finished project to the required sizes.
Chipboard, MDF and plywood cutting and edging are offered at most stores that sell this material. This service is relatively inexpensive and will save a lot of time and effort.
Photo of a built-in wardrobe in the hallway, made by yourself
Making it yourself is both easier and more difficult at the same time. Easier, because some parts do not need to be calculated and cut out. It’s more difficult, since the cabinet is “tied” to the niche, which means the project must take into account the features of the walls and floor.
The level of “embeddedness” can be different. Ideally, this is a niche that is equipped with shelves and a bar with hangers, and a sliding system. Moreover, in this case, the doors are mounted like an interior door - to the wall and to the floor. But much more often, built-in means a closet that occupies a corner of the room. In this case, one side panel is missing and back wall, and often the floor and ceiling.
The described option has no big sizes and a fairly simple device - only two compartments. If the hallway area allows, you can make a much more spacious structure, but in this case it is recommended to assemble the frame from chipboard, not bars, and connect the parts with a common floor or ceiling.
The latter method is easier to implement. This design allows you to install not only shelves and a bar, but drawers, clothes lifts, and so on. In this case, assembly is carried out on dowels - parts with each other, and confirmations - shelves. The holes for them are drilled in advance, and then the cabinet is assembled like a construction set. The work requires not so much qualifications as accuracy and patience: a lot of holes are drilled, and each corner mount
must be kept in a clamp for at least a day.
Regular hallway
The most popular and easiest to implement option is wall-mounted. This is a shield - solid or consisting of vertical slats, which is attached to the wall. A shelf for hats is a must. Such a stand is constructed from plywood, chipboard or edged boards- optional.
Making such a model original is more than simple. To do this, boards or chipboard elements are given an unusual shape, for example: slats are cut out in the form of a picket fence and secured different shapes hooks No less original is the hanger, where the base is irregular shape a piece of wood, like a cut from a trunk, and the hooks are varnished fragments of branches with knots.
In this video you will learn how to assemble a wardrobe with your own hands:
And this video will help you with assembling a radius cabinet for a corridor:
With hooks it is no more difficult to make than a simple wall one. But for the stability of such a structure, it is usually assembled from solid material - chipboard, plywood, and not boards.
The classic model is a module of two parts connected at right angles, with an upper and lower rounded shelf. Rectangular shape undesirable, since the angle visually needs to be softened. Yes, and using such a shelf is inconvenient.
If there is not enough space in the hallway, you can attach it to such a hanger by simply gluing it to one of the sides.
DIY corner wardrobe in the hallway
Photos various options hallways can be found in unlimited quantities. Unfortunately, it is impossible to judge anything other than the appearance of the models. Drawings are much more informative.
If you decide to use a ready-made drawing, then, firstly, you need to make sure that the dimensions indicated in it are suitable for the hallway. Secondly, on working diagram not only general parameters are indicated, but also the distance between parts, taking into account their thickness. If the material used in manufacturing differs in size, this difference must be taken into account.
The best version of the drawing is a diagram with a dimensional table, which indicates the parameters of each part separately, as well as the attachment points.

The main thing is that the furniture in the hallway is roomy, compact, neat, and not pretentious.
Details that need to be thought through when designing.
Furniture fittings for a closet in the hallway
To assemble a closet in the hallway with your own hands, prepare in advance following tools and accessories:
DIY cabinet assembly tool
It is better to take inexpensive materials that are easy to process. For example, even experienced manufacturers will not undertake to make furniture from solid wood.
Chipboard cabinet with mirror door
Spacious eco-friendly plywood cabinet
Sliding wardrobe and cabinet made of MDF in the hallway
Fiberboard for the back wall of the closet in the hallway
Wooden beam for the frame of a homemade cabinet
Edged board (pine)
Homemade plasterboard cabinet in the hallway
You need to take the most responsible approach to taking measurements. If a miscalculation is made, all subsequent work will be difficult or nothing will work out at all. There are various ready-made options With suitable sizes. If the finished drawings are not suitable, and your drawing skills are weak, you need to hire a specialist for this stage who will think through the project with the right sizes. It is better to cut materials and make edging of end parts in the store where it is sold construction material. The store's services are inexpensive, but it saves a lot of time.
This model is built-in; it is easier to manufacture, since the parts do not need to be calculated and cut out. The complexity of this option is that it is necessary to take into account the features of the walls and floors.
The ideal solution for such furniture would be a niche with a sliding system, equipped with several shelves and a crossbar for hangers. The installation of the sashes in this case is the same as for interior doors(wall and floor involved).
Very often a wardrobe is made in the corner of a room. This model does not have one side or back wall (and in some cases, no floor or ceiling).
The base consists of wooden frame, which consists of a pair of frames (front and side), assembled with screws or nails. If the project provides for the arrangement of shelves and partitions, transverse slats must be secured to the frames in the designated places.
Mark the walls, floor, and ceiling in the places where the frame will be installed, drill holes for fasteners. It is recommended to also mark the locations of the paper clips.
We make markings for the shelves and install corners
Secure the front frame to the wall and ceiling using dowels. Check its verticality using a level.
We lay and fasten the shelves on the corners, install a vertical panel to the shelves inside the cabinet
Install the side frame.
In the resulting niche, wooden slats intended for shelves are attached to the walls (cut the shelves from plywood or chipboard). You don’t have to fasten the shelves by laying them on slats or fixing them with nails.
We lay a horizontal shelf on top of our structure.
The side is covered with plasterboard or laminated chipboard. Drywall is pasted over or painted. Side part, in which the crossbar with hangers will be located, must be durable (chipboard, plywood, but not drywall).
Preparing panels for the front side of the cabinet
Attach the bottom and top panels
The final stage is the installation of sliding doors. The upper and lower guides are mounted on the ceiling and floor, respectively.
Installing door guides
It is very important to keep the dimensions exactly. First they try to install a mock-up of the future door. Take any part whose height is the same as that of the door and install it inside the top rail. Check the verticality value and mark the area where the lower guide will be attached. The door must first be inserted, slightly pressing on the upper rollers, and then into the lower tire. To adjust the position of the door leaf, adjusting screws are used. Right installed door moves smoothly, unhindered.
We insert the doors into the guides, snap the latches and adjust the mechanisms in the roller systems
The above example is suitable for a simple design small sizes, consisting of two halves. With a good hallway area, it is possible to manufacture a more spacious model. Then a frame made of bars will not work. It is better to make a base from chipboard, and “fasten” its elements using a common floor and ceiling. This method will allow you to place in a niche, in addition to shelves and a hanging rod, also boxes for small items and other parts.
Such a product will be assembled as a construction set for dowels and confirmations. For this fitting, you must first drill holes. All this must be done especially carefully and patiently. All fastenings for corners are kept in a clamp for 24 hours.
Built-in two-door wardrobe in the hallway
It will be easy to do it yourself corner module. For stability, modules are often made of durable solid materials (chipboard, plywood). Such products come in several forms:

This is the simplest process, because everything that is needed for the work is sold at the building materials store.
The design includes: an outer frame, several shelves with partitions. The width of the structure depends on maximum size shoes, and the height depends on the number of shelves.
Addition of facades and gaps of shoe cabinets
A good solution would be to combine a shoe closet with elements of a chest of drawers. Or place it in a closet or corner closet that has open fronts.
There is a lot of different information on the Internet about how to make a cabinet in the hallway with your own hands. Therefore, by examining all available data, the most appropriate model can be successfully constructed.
For the hallway you can assemble it yourself different furniture. It will not only be functional, but also attractive. Cabinets and cabinets will fully correspond to the style of the room and its parameters. You can put together a stylish set yourself. for the hallway it is usually made of solid wood or special furniture panels, which can be ordered at any factory according to the provided project. The surface of the boards will be laminated in the required color. All that remains is to assemble the furniture according to the diagram and install it in the intended place. The hallway will be updated, and you will have comfortable furniture.
The furniture in the hallway is mandatory attribute, because it is in it that shoes, clothes and other accessories are stored.
To assemble furniture for the corridor with your own hands, you will first have to choose an assembly scheme. Today there are many such schemes, so it will not be difficult to choose a set not only for a spacious hallway, but also for a small corridor in a city apartment.
The following materials are used for assembly:
Tools for work:
Figure 1. Drawing double-leaf cabinet for the hallway.
The assembly process depends entirely on which project is selected. The simplest, designed for a small room, is a set consisting of small wall with hooks, a pencil case type cabinet, a double-leaf cabinet above which you can attach a mirror. This set will look great even in a small room.

A double-leaf cabinet for the hallway is also necessary; it usually accommodates most things, shoes, bags. Any scheme can be used for assembly. One of them is shown in Fig. 1. It is important that the piece of furniture is as comfortable as possible.
You can assemble a cabinet with two doors:
You need to start by assembling the frame. First they are attached to the bottom side walls, a partition in the middle of the cabinet and a top cover. If for two individual parts If more partitions will be used, then it is necessary to immediately put boards under them, since this will be problematic later. Nailed to the back plywood sheet with laminated surface. For fastening, screws and wooden dowels are used. If necessary, drawers are installed for the cabinet. The doors are installed last, but for them you must first provide hinges of the selected type.

Figure 2. Drawing of a wall with hangers for the hallway.
One of the main pieces of furniture that is ideal for a hallway is a pencil case. This is a tall wardrobe, quite narrow, it can only include horizontal shelves for storing things. The second option is a design that has a top shelf and drawers, and the main space is given over to a hanging bar.
Usually cabinets are placed near large cabinets. Ideal sizes:
The cabinet can be divided into 2 compartments, with a partition in the center. In one part of it there is usually a row of horizontal shelves, and in the other there are hangers for clothes. First you need to assemble the body for the future cabinet. To do this, connect the bottom, 2 walls and a lid furniture screws. A partition is installed immediately, as this will be problematic later. For additional fastening, wooden dowels are used; they are coated with glue.
The next step is to attach the back wall; furniture nails are used for installation. Next, markings are made for the shelves, holes are drilled for special fasteners, the shelves themselves are installed, and a bar is hung under the hangers. If necessary, installation is carried out drawers. When the cabinet is completely assembled, the door hinges are fixed. To install them, holes are made with a milling cutter about half the size of the wood. When the cabinet is ready, handles, locks and other decorative fittings are attached.

Next, a wall is placed and hangers will be attached to it. It is mounted next to the front door. An example can be seen in Fig. 2. It is best to place low cabinets for shoes under the wall. For the manufacture of walls they are used regular boards, their number depends on the width future design, required quantity hooks Usually one hook is attached to 1 board of small width. The boards are connected to each other by a metal frame.
The first to gather metal carcass. The top bar provides a system for fastening to the wall. Loops are usually used for this. The structure will be fixed to the wall with anchors. If necessary, a frame for a horizontal shelf is mounted above the wall. After assembling the frame, you can begin finishing it. Typically, pipes are painted with anti-corrosion paint, the color of which matches the main shade of the entire kit.
The boards for the wall are selected to be the same size; the top ones should have a length equal to the width of the wall itself. The boards are processed and sanded if necessary. After this, holes are made in them for fastening to the frame. The boards are designed in full accordance with the appearance of the rest of the furnishings. The coat hooks are attached last. They can be different, but it is better to choose those that will fit the handles and hinges.
The situation is different with the hallway, because it is what everyone sees first when they come to the apartment. And that’s why you can try to do what you want with your own hands. Just remember about designers - they often make exclusive things themselves. It turns out no worse, and moreover, absolutely unique. So why not try furnishing the hallway yourself?
When it comes to talking about a homemade hallway, you should understand that we are not just talking about wallpapering without the help of specialists.
You can create a lot with your own hands:
First of all, do the finishing yourself - it’s the easiest thing. To the very simple options finishing can include painting and wallpapering. Can choose interesting option: wallpaper with photo printing. Huge drawings in the hallway are useless, but an original abstract pattern would be very appropriate.
Since the hallway, as a rule, is not too large, the current color scheme is light. This also applies to furniture.
You can use warm, contrasting shades to highlight individual parts of the room or the pieces of furniture themselves. You can also make the decor yourself. Original upholstery of a banquette, pots with flowers painted or dressed in crocheted covers, a mirror that is decorated with shells or artificial flowers, and, of course, wicker rugs at the door - all this is very easy to do, does not require large investments and brings pleasure in the making process.
How to make a corridor in a house if you mess with self-assembly Don’t want furniture at all, especially if there is already furniture in the hallway? It’s not for nothing that they say that changes can completely change the perception of a room. This also applies to the hallway - it is not necessary to purchase new furniture, if you can apply some techniques.
For example:
The main technique is rearranging furniture. For example, you can abandon the closet completely and replace it with vintage hooks for the wall and an original hat. Will take a place at the door large plant in a pot, and you can put a shoe rack next to it. If it is strong enough, then you can place a seat on top, then you can sit on it and put on your shoes comfortably.
For a hallway, a mirror is absolutely necessary, and preferably a large one. You can spice up your mirror by decorating the frame. And if it is built into the closet, then you can use various stickers. Among the most popular are floral patterns and window imitation.
The furniture itself can be repainted in a color that suits the style. A wooden furniture can be coated with colored varnish to highlight the texture of the wood, or artificially aged.
Modern apartments or private houses most often have more spacious dimensions, which can accommodate an acceptable set of furniture. You can even put small sofa with leather upholstery - such furniture is easy to wash and clean.
But, if the hallway is still small, then you can pay attention to other techniques:
Modular furniture makes it easy to rearrange and combine all items at your discretion. A corner closet with mezzanines will be very helpful - a lot of things can fit there.
There are also narrow options set of furniture. If this is not critical for a cabinet or hangers, then for storing shoes or a closet, this design will not work - there is too little space.
And finally, the walls themselves. You can place hooks and fabric organizers for shoes and accessories on them.
Since the hallway is the place where inevitably there is the most dirt and dust, the materials must be chosen so that it can be easily washed. Some people light shades do not seem too interesting, and therefore designers advise diluting them with bright shades.
Namely:
Often front door paint bright color– the interior then looks bright and lively. But the main accents are in the accessories - bright vases, textiles, figurines, watches. This list can be continued for a very long time, the main thing is not to overload the hallway with these details.
Very important role furniture upholstery plays a role when it comes to a pair of chairs and a shoe rack. You can choose absolutely any material. The only thing that the hallway does not tolerate are carpets and carpeted surfaces.
It's worth returning to the furniture. Correct arrangement plays a very important role.
To do this you need to know a few rules:
Most pieces of furniture for the hallway are easy to make with your own hands. To begin with, you need to decide on the materials.
The championship is held, of course, by wooden configurations. They are quite durable, do not deteriorate, look aesthetically pleasing, and can be easily repainted and decorated.
Wooden furniture is not so easy to purchase, as it is very, very expensive. Another thing is specialized furniture panels, as well as chipboard sheets. The former are also not very cheap, and they are not easy to find, but the latter are common and are reasonably priced.
From additional tools you will need:
You need to start the work yourself with a simple cabinet. It is necessary to determine the height, and cut out 2 identical sidewalls from the shield at this height. If there is a plinth, then a small corner is cut off on one side. You need to do the same on top so that the lid is narrower. Then fasten the sidewalls with two bases, and the lower one should not be near the floor, but higher, then the gap can be masked with a dowel. The back panel can be made of plywood.
The door should be such that the box fits above it. Make holes and attach the door with hinges. Make runners for the box from plywood. Make from plywood bottom part, and the front one should be a little larger. Cut out the lid and place it on glue. Secure the box with self-tapping screws.
Making furniture will require:
A cabinet with two doors is made differently. You need to assemble a box of four bases, no lower than a one-door cabinet. Fasten with self-tapping screws. Inside, make runners for drawers and mounts for shelves if desired. The back panel should be made of plywood. Cut out the doors and attach them with hinges. Secure both lids with dowels.
The cabinet needs 2 large sides. Cut out the bottom, base (top) and central shelf for them. Cut out 2 identical doors. Attach to the cabinet. The back wall is also made of plywood. Arrange drawers and shelves inside as desired.
Cut several identical boards for the hanger and fasten them with a horizontal strip. Attach a shelf for hats on top along the entire width. Attach the hooks and hang them on the wall with self-tapping screws. Cover everything with varnish and decorate as desired. Go for it!
