Modern furniture sets fit perfectly into the interior, while streamlining the living room.

Main elements

To create drawings of the walls for the living room with dimensions, you need to carefully measure the distance where you plan to install it. Length, height, width - these are the main parameters from which you need to build on. Then it remains to be decided what and where will be located.

Important! With self-assembly, it is most convenient to assemble symmetrical structures.

A wall in the hall with your own hands is nothing more than a set of various elements, such as:

• wardrobe;
• TV stand;
• bar;
• a rack with glasses;
• open shelves for books;
• shelves for various elements of a decor.

Important! The main advantage of independent work is that you yourself can vary the elements among themselves. For example, to exclude racks, add shelves for books or leave in the finished structure only wardrobes for clothes and a place for a TV.

Drawings of the walls for the living room with dimensions are a very important stage in the work. From how meticulously the measurements of all future furniture pieces will be performed and transferred to paper, the speed of the work depends directly. To obtain the most accurate result, it is important to consider not only the size and number of elements, but also the thickness of the material used.

Body assembly

Each element of the wall with its own hands is a structure assembled together. It is based on a body or frame consisting of an upper and lower frame. They are pulled together by longitudinal stiffeners, which are the corners of the furniture:

• To begin, build the frame according to individual dimensions.
• Add support to your drawer. That is how you can achieve the stability and reliability of the design, which will serve you for a long period.
• Use wood screws and glue to fasten the frame elements together. Also during the work you can use metal corners.
• At this stage, add more top rails, which are an additional mount, as well as a design solution.
• Next, using nails and glue, secure the back wall of plywood.

Important! These works in the process of installing the wall in the living room with your own hands are best done in the room on the floor. So, after the assembly of the frame is completed, you just have to raise the structure, move it closer to the wall.

• If you make a wall slide with your own hands, then in the next step, install the shelves in the desired location.

Mini wall mounting

In modern living rooms, the most valuable is the availability of free space. The most suitable option in this case is a mini-wall, which will help create a feeling of lightness, freedom, at the same time, will be quite roomy.

When wondering how to make a mini-wall in the living room yourself, first of all, you need to decide what you need it for and what will be included in its package:

• TV set. In such a wall, the obligatory central element is a chest of drawers or a TV stand. As a rule, such a mini-version is complemented by a cabinet, a bookcase, a shelf for books or for various decorative elements. On the contrary, they usually have a sofa - for convenient, comfortable viewing programs.
• Do-it-yourself wall-mounted mini-slide includes a place for storing dishes, open shelves, a chest of drawers with drawers. Often this kit has a built-in bar.

Important! This version of the wall will look great both in the kitchen - all the necessary utensils will be at hand and in the living room, where you can demonstrate to all guests a collection of antique or very expensive dishes.

• Corner mini-walls are usually installed in bedrooms. The basis of this set is a wardrobe, spacious and deep, where clothes, linen are stored. They complement the composition with a TV stand, shelving, with glass doors on top and drawers on the bottom.
• If a wardrobe is built into the mini-version, it also plays a major role in the composition, doubly saves space, due to the movement of the doors not on itself, but on the sides along the guides. Typically, such sets of furniture are complemented by open shelves on the sides, on which books or various decoration elements look great. The cabinet doors are equipped with mirrors, and the interior space is completely and completely equipped at the request of the owners. Here can be either shelves, rails for hangers or drawers.
• Mini-walls with a computer table most often find their place in the office or children's room. A closet for clothes and linen in such a design is required, as well as a place for working at a computer, to which you can pull a chair.
• Mini-walls, the main parts of which are hinged, perfectly fit into the living room of a modern style. There is nothing superfluous here - only clear, strict lines in the color scheme, which most often includes two contrasting shades.

As you can see, the compact version of the wall with your own hands differs from the usual one only in size. Therefore, the assembly of this type of furniture has no special differences.

Important! Experts say that if we compare two rooms that are absolutely identical in terms of parameters and are equipped differently - one with a mini-wall and the other with ordinary furniture, then the atmosphere will be much more comfortable and pleasant in the first version.
