We make furniture for the apartment with our own hands. Built-in wardrobe - compartment.

The built-in wardrobe with sliding doors today can be safely called the most relevant and practical solution for storing clothes and other things in any modern apartment. Such a built-in wardrobe can be installed in almost any room of the house, because thanks to its design, it can make the most optimal use of all free usable space, from the floor to the ceiling.

Today, many companies offer to buy ready-made wardrobes from them or order them individually. Of course, this is much more convenient, but the cost of such cabinets, it should be noted, is not at all small. That is why it will be much more practical and economical to make a built-in wardrobe on your own, as they say, with your own hands, assembly is just as simple, and below is a diagram and drawings for clarity. Moreover, it is not so difficult to carry out such a process if you act, naturally, according to some strictly predefined algorithm. All that is needed to create a high-quality wardrobe is the correct instructions, recommendations with drawings and visual diagrams and a little inspiration, because designing something with your own hands is always an art. The site is repairing his apartment with his own hands, he tried to bring it all to life.

Make and assemble a wardrobe with your own hands according to drawings and diagrams

So, there is a desire to make a simple built-in wardrobe - now you need to find a place for installing an element of built-in furniture. As a rule, in modern apartments, all kinds of niches and other recesses are allocated for the installation of a sliding wardrobe, the area of which cannot be effectively used for arranging other structures. In the event that the existing depth of the structure does not suit something, then you can additionally, using tools, cut through a niche.

After the niche where the wardrobe will be installed in the future is ready, and all the necessary accurate measurements have been taken, you can begin to plan the drawings. Actually, the appearance, as well as the equipment of the wardrobe, depends only on the personal wishes of its owners, but there is a certain standard, "classic" variation of such an element of furniture. Drawings of just such a wardrobe are shown in the photo below.

It should be noted that in the course of drawing up the drawings of the wardrobe, special attention should be paid to such steps as determining the distance between the shelves, as well as calculating their number. It is necessary to mention the fact that since this model of the wardrobe has doors not up to the ceiling itself, the upper shelves had to be made slightly shallower in order to provide more convenient access to things.

Arrangement and assembly of the wardrobe: start of work

After the drawings (or even just sketches) are ready, you can safely proceed to the task at hand - the embodiment of what was drawn on paper. It is best to start with the arrangement of the "insides" of the cabinet, namely with the installation of various shelves. For shelves, it is best to use the most common laminated chipboard of light color (well, or dark, depending on the wishes of the household and the general style of the room's decoration).

It is recommended to use metal corners and self-tapping screws as fasteners to fix the shelves on the wall. Due to the fact that all the necessary measurements were taken in advance, all sizes for the shelves are already available. The depth of the lower shelves, in our case, was 60 cm, well, and the upper ones (as discussed earlier) 30 cm. The material and its sawing can be done independently, but it would be best to order both at the most common building base - in this way, it will be possible to save significantly, because there is no need to purchase an expensive tool.

The assembly of the inner frame of the wardrobe begins with a shelf that is mounted on the floor (it is it that serves as the floor), after which the walls of the built-in closet (side boards) are fixed to the bottom board and the wall using dowels. Further, a structure is assembled, consisting of two horizontal, one vertical cross-beams and three more cross-beams installed vertically. The main fastening element on which the entire structure of the built-in wardrobe is supported are metal corners and self-tapping screws purchased in advance from a hardware store.

The frame is assembled, it remains to immerse it inside the niche and fix the upper shelves on the walls. As a result, there are two compartments specially adapted for storing outerwear (sweaters, dresses, shirts, etc.). In addition, one of the shelves can store underwear, and the other three shelves can be adapted for a wide variety of clothes (for example, they can be given for the wife's things). The wide shelf, which is located in the back of the cabinet, is specially divided into three parts, which are somewhat shallower. At the very top of the self-made and self-assembled wardrobe, a long and narrow shelf is installed, where it is very convenient to place all kinds of boxes with shoes, Christmas tree decorations, blankets and other trifles and little-used things.

Diy installation of sliding wardrobe doors

After the frame of the built-in wardrobe is fully assembled and installed in the previously prepared niche, it's time to start assembling the sliding doors. It should be noted that the hardware for such doors differs both in cost and quality, and therefore the best option is a strong "middle", that is, hardware that has an average cost. From the hardware for the doors, you will need sets of lower and upper rollers, as well as special guides, handles and other elements. To fill the doorway of the wardrobe, you can use some kind of decorative mirror.

The door itself is assembled, and therefore it is necessary to install the guides. The first thing you need to pay special attention to are the diagonals, which can cause a lot of trouble. It is best, as they say, to measure 7 times and cut off only once - carefully double-check the location of the guides and only then install them. It should be noted that in addition to the appearance of the hated diagonals during the installation of the lower and upper guides, it is also very important not to disturb the installation level of all structural elements. In order to facilitate the installation of the sliding door, you can initially install the upper profile in the guides, and then simply remove it and install it together with the door - this will be much easier to do than if the door leaf and the guide were put in place.

Further, it will not be superfluous to re-disassemble and reassemble the structure. In this way, it will be possible to determine which system needs improvements, as well as to identify malfunctions and deformations. In addition, a thorough rechecking of the assembly process will make it possible to eliminate possible door distortion, which is also important for the normal functioning of the cabinet.

If, after installing the door and fully assembling the cabinet, an ugly gap has formed between the door and the wall, then it needs to be fixed. It is quite simple to do this - the cause of such a problem may be the incorrect fastening of the bolt securing the lower rollers to the door leaf. Such a bolt performs not only a fastening function, but it can also be used to adjust such kind of slots.

In order to eliminate the defect, it is quite simple with the help of a conventional hexagon, which is used for screwing conformates, to adjust this very bolt so that the gap disappears completely. You can purchase such a tool at any construction market or store. So the installation is finished.

Making a built-in wardrobe with your own hands, as you can see, is a fairly simple process, for the implementation of which you do not need to have any too special skills and talents. It is enough just to have ingenuity, "straight hands" and a set of the simplest tools that each owner has, as well as drawings and diagrams of the planned product. Also, do not forget inspiration, because it is it that is the engine of new ideas and all kinds of processes. We hope it will not be difficult to manufacture and build, and the assembly will be successful!
