Making clothes hangers in the hallway with your own hands

Arriving home, I want to quickly take off my shoes and outerwear. Just leaving things on a chair or dresser will not raise your hand, as they will take an unsightly appearance, and in a small room there will be even more mess. If there is not enough free space in the hallway, installing a sliding wardrobe is unlikely to be a suitable option. But there is an effective way to preserve the usable area with minimal material costs - to make a hanger in the hallway with your own hands.

Furniture for the corridor

The interior of the entrance hall, whether it is modest or luxurious, can tell a guest a lot about the house and its owners from the doorway. This area should always be as comfortable and tidy as possible, although there are a large number of different things stored in separate compartments.

Designs for clothes in the hallway of small sizes should be selected especially carefully, adhering to a certain stylistic direction. For example, the use of a hanger will create the necessary comfort not only for family members, but also for guests.

Modern industry produces a huge number of furniture models that differ in shape, material of manufacture, colors and dimensions.

However, you can make your own hanger in the hallway. But before that, you need to carefully evaluate all the factors in order to make the small but important room optimally attractive.

Factors affecting the choice of hangers

When purchasing the necessary furniture structure or planning its manufacture with your own hands, you must definitely decide in which place it will be placed.

Its location directly depends on the parameters of the room. If the hallway is spacious, there are no restrictions, you can choose any model you like. For a small and narrow corridor, you need to select compact furniture so that it does not take up much space and allows you to move freely.

In the absence of a wardrobe, which is much more functional, the load on the hanger increases significantly. In this case, the over-the-top model is not able to accommodate the required amount of clothing, and the ceiling structure may not withstand excess weight.

It is necessary to correctly determine how much furniture will be loaded, which is the main factor when choosing the best option. Many different models are on sale, so it's easy to choose the right one or make a clothes hanger in the hallway with your own hands.

Wall construction

Now it is one of the most popular models. It consists of a panel and hooks, which can be arranged in different ways: linearly, diagonally or in a checkerboard pattern. Such a hanger is attached directly to the wall, so it does not take up space on the floor. She looks quite compact, holds a lot of outerwear and is inexpensive. This is the most suitable design for small hallways, which can be supplemented with the following accessories:

• a mirror;
• rods on which you can hang shoulders with clothes for more delicate and gentle storage;
• shelves for hats and other hats, as well as various small items;
• equipped place for umbrellas;
• shoe cabinet;
• a small bench with a built-in cabinet for shoes.

The last two models can be solid (in the form of a dressing table) or assembled from several parts. In any case, both options will be more overall.In addition, designs with floor stands are not always able to accommodate fully long outer clothing.

To save space, it is better to prefer hangers in the form of panels equipped with hooks and a back wall, which will prevent contamination and abrasion of the wall covering, as well as its wetting from wet clothes.

This hanger is endowed with many advantages:

1. It allows you to save room space, compactly place heavy outer clothing (fur coats, coats, jackets).
2. The ability to combine it with a cabinet for shoes, a chest of drawers, a mirror.
3. A variety of models.
4. You can complement the design with a shelf for hats.
5. Reasonable cost.
6. The opportunity to make a hanger into the corridor with your own hands.

The disadvantage of the product is its simple appearance. It is not suitable for those who want the hall to impress others. There are some more disadvantages:

• there is no possibility of movement;
• it happens that the structures can not withstand a large load;
• the need for mounting only on a solid wall.

Sometimes the corridor space is so small that you have to support the concept of minimalism. In this case, you can use a very small wall hanger. This model is easy to do on your own. It is made from one board of an original form with hooks located on it, which is fixed at a certain height. It is not necessary that the hooks are in the same line. They can be at different levels or depict any shape.

The options are very creative. You can, for example, varnish a tree branch, equip it with unusual hooks and hang it at the door. Such a product will definitely make the hallway exclusive. There are no restrictions, it all depends on the imagination of man.

Floor models

The design of the floor hanger is a metal stand in the form of the letter P, equipped with hooks of various shapes. On it you can hang a coat hanger for clothes. Some models are equipped with wheels for moving. At the right time, the “closet” easily rolls back to any convenient place. Many floor structures are additionally equipped with a lower shelf for bags, a basket for umbrellas and a small cabinet for shoes.

A hanger with horizontal crossbars makes it possible not only to place a large amount of things on the shoulders, but also to prevent clothes from stretching. On sale you can see the abundance of various versions of the floor model - from simple classical to real works of art, which can become the highlight of the whole room. They differ in designs, material of manufacture, design. For example, a model in the form of a single riser has its advantages:

1. It does not need installation, it is mobile. Floor installation only needs to be assembled and placed in the right place. If necessary, it can easily be rearranged.
2. This type of hanger allows you to hang clothes in full length and keep their neat appearance.
3. The upper part of the product is designed for hats, so there are no additional shelves, which preserves the aesthetic appearance of the model.

The main disadvantage of the floor design is that it can easily tip over if it is unsuccessful to pull on clothes.

To solve this problem, some manufacturers make the hanger heavier for stability, others expand the base of the product so that it stands firmly over a larger area. There are other disadvantages:

1. Bulky. The design of the hanger involves placing things in a circle, so for convenient use it should stand at a certain distance from the wall, which will take up a decent area of ​​free space. Therefore, this version of the hanger is not suitable for a small hallway.
2. Difficult access to things. In many models, the hooks are arranged in two rows. To take the jacket, which is located in the bottom row, you must first remove the outer clothing.And if a large family lives in the house and often there are guests, then such a model of a hanger will be inconvenient.

The floor model can be made independently of wood or metal, if you have the skills to perform welding work. For stability, it is necessary to use a tangent mount, fixing it on the wall.

Materials for work

To begin the independent manufacture of hangers, you need to decide on the material. Wood products always look noble and fit any interior design. You can use not only wooden planks or lining, but also cuttings of plywood, bars, and the remains of a laminate. Often use wood boards, but the chipboard must be primed in advance, and then painted.

The main advantage of metal hangers is high strength. Products can be prefabricated or solid, but the weight of the metal should be small. Forged hallway give a special look to the hallway, which are real masterpieces of art.

Plywood, for example, can be covered with synthetic winterizer, and then with a cloth of your choice. Plastic is also a common and versatile material.

It is important to pay attention to the main element of the hanger - hooks, which should be large and with a good bend for convenience. Usually they are purchased at points of sale of furniture hardware, but you can, having shown imagination, do it yourself. In this case, natural materials will help well. So, twigs and knots, previously sanded and varnished, perfectly serve as hooks. It turns out original and functional.

As hooks, you can take teaspoons or aluminum forks. They need to be bent in half, the handle will be the main part of the product. Hooks can be made of thick wire, and then decorated with beads or other decorative elements.

Do it yourself

The hanger in the hallway will become exclusive only if it is done with your own hands. To do this, it is not necessary to buy materials in stores or in markets. The farm will always find a sufficient number of improvised materials, thanks to which the product will become a vintage thing.

First of all, you need to determine the size of the hanger. A simple drawing should be prepared according to them, if the design will include additional elements (shelf, cabinet) or be a hanger in the form of a cabinet without doors.

It will be easy to make a simple wall model, the main component of which is a shield with hooks placed on it. It can be solid if you take a wood slab or plywood 1 cm thick, or trellised. The second option is preferable - it is lighter and less material consumption. Assembly sequence:

1. Prepare two boards or beams in advance: sand with a coarse sandpaper and then fine grain.
2. Burn billet with a blowtorch or over a gas burner, and then varnish.
3. In the same sequence, process a few more boards for the shield, the size of which will correspond to the height of the product, and the number to the width of the hanger. Instead of boards, you can use slats.
4. Using dowels, fix two parallel horizontal bars on the wall.
5. Then, to them vertically nail or screw the remaining boards with a width of 7-10 cm or slats with screws, observing a distance of 3-5 cm between them.
6. Secure the hooks at the correct height with screws.
7. If desired, you can add a hanger with a shelf for hats, fixing it with metal corners. The width of the shelf is 20-25 cm.
8. If a home-made design is provided for the entire height of the wall, the lower shoe shelf, which can be fixed with two 5x5 cm bars, will not hurt.

For greater roominess, triple hooks are used. Fittings made from antique will look original.

Unusual solutions

The original hanger can be quickly made from an old floor lamp, which your hands did not reach to throw it away. It is necessary to pay attention to the base of the device.It should be fairly stable.

First, the lamp must be freed from unnecessary parts: remove the lampshade, mount for the lamp and wire. Then it should be cleaned and painted. Metallic paint will look good. Next to the upper metal circle, you need to attach hooks made of durable wire.

A piece of furniture made of real wood will look even more unusual. The material must be properly dried, removed from the trunk and branches of the bark. The stand does not need to be made - it will be replaced by the roots of the tree, which will reliably hold the structure. It is necessary to leave the most durable elements of the root system, file them and process.

The hooks can be branches and knots on them, which also need to be shortened to the desired size and processed. Such a hanger will decorate and complement any interior design of the room. You can give it a different color: from dark brown “under the tree” to bright creative drawings made on the trunk and branches.
