Variety of variations

As a rule, on a balcony or in the country, boxes are accumulated in huge numbers. Throwing them away is a pity, but storing them to infinity is pointless. A good way out is the manufacture of furniture from drawers with your own hands - functional, convenient and in its own way stylish. If you approach the matter with imagination and fiction, you get a real decoration for the interior. Moreover, the raw materials are at hand.

So you will need:

• A set of carpentry tools.
• Furniture fittings.
• Self-tapping screws.

Who said that designer products must be fabulously expensive? It is possible to equip a stylish interior yourself, without investing almost a dime.

Walk-in closet

This is the dream of any lady. However, cabinets are not cheap, and if you order furniture, the amount is even more. To undertake the manufacture of cabinets from wardrobe drawers should be when you already have experience in the manufacture of simple crafts.

Important! Sometimes it can happen that the material is simply not enough. Then you can independently make boxes from unnecessary boards.

The simplest option is a dressing room of a strict design, when drawers painted in the same color are simply stacked on top of each other and secured with self-tapping screws. A more shaped design is staggered boxes or a structure assembled from separate modules. You can paint the resulting furniture in any color.

Important! To make the cabinet look prettier, you can cover the back wall with bright textile. Such a unique rack of boxes with their own hands will keep shoes and clothes in perfect order.

Rest zone

She must be in the house. Even if it will be a tiny corner where you can get together as a family for a cozy tea party. Refinement can not be expected, but simplicity and originality - as much as you like.

The simplest furniture is a table made of do-it-yourself drawers. You can take up its manufacture, even if the skills in the carpentry are minimal. Time and materials will also require a minimum.

For example:

1. For the manufacture of a coffee table, only 4 drawers are required, plus 4 additional legs.
2. Having arranged the boxes in a checkerboard pattern, they get the original design.
3. The hole in the middle can be filled with a pot with a house plant.
4. If desired, you can equip the design with wheels.

Important! The process of manufacturing home furnishings is quite fast. It’s much more difficult to give the furniture a “civilized” look:

• As a dye, you can use acrylic paint or stain.
• Moisture protection is acrylic varnish.

It is quite appropriate in the recreation area and a bookcase. It is very simple to make it: put the boxes on top of each other and fasten using self-tapping screws. If you put books, photographs or souvenirs in such a home-made locker, it will turn out very well.
