The hallway is the place where people prepare to go out and greet guests. A similar characteristic defines a given room as a place in which people constantly undress and dress. Naturally, this is where outerwear should be stored.

The minimalist room uses only hangers. In addition, they do not take up too much space, which means that even in a small room there is a place for this design. In large rooms, a wardrobe and many other additional pieces of furniture are usually also installed, but it is a hanger that cannot be left without hanging in the hallway.

There is a huge variety of models for these products. Most of them are inexpensive. The price allows even people with material incomes below average to buy a really good hanger for their hallway. But it is more interesting and economical to do it yourself.

Corner hangers

Many users choose exactly corner hangers. Due to the great popularity, it is worth considering separately all the positive and negative features of these structures. The corner hanger takes up very little space. In addition, it is usually installed in a corner, which allows it to be placed even in the smallest hallways.

Usually corner hangers have a huge number of hooks and can hold a lot of clothes and hats, and you can also hang bags on them. If such a hanger is made for a large family, then it will be quite easy for everyone to take a couple of hooks and everyone will be able to place their things very conveniently, without mess and fuss.

Corner hangers are often very functional. An additional shelf or another row of hooks can be added to the top of the structure for storing hats. This entire structure can be made independently from different materials.

Floor standing

In addition to wall hangers, floor hangers are often used. They have a longer history than the first option. Previously, they were installed both in wealthy houses and in the homes of the poor, naturally, while differing from each other in construction, materials and design.

The main problem with such floor furniture is that they can turn over quite easily if unsuccessfully pulled on the clothes. All manufacturers deal with this issue differently. Some people try to make the hanger very heavy to keep it stable. Others are more attentive to the base, trying to expand it so that the hanger stands over a larger area.

If you are making this piece of furniture yourself, then you can attach a small tangent mount to the wall.

It locks the hanger well in one position.

Usually in one floor hanger there are hooks of different shapes. Some of them are quite thick and large for quickly hooking a bag or things to the hood. Others can be very small so that you can hang the sweatshirts by a thin small loop.

The classic option is a simple stand with a variety of hooks. In most cases, it is metal and may have some design features. You can make such a piece of furniture from wood, as well as from metal, if you have welding skills.

Wall mounted

Many people perceive wall hangers only as a rather bulky structure.This is the case when the panel is firmly attached to the wall, and hooks are already located on top. In such a situation, it will not be superfluous to add space for shoes to the bottom of the bedside table, ottoman. But such furniture is quite difficult to make on your own.

However, there are other wall hangers that help support the concept of minimalism in the hallway. Sometimes the room is so small that you only want to use very small furniture. Very small wall hangers can be used in this situation. They are just one plate of the original shape, which is attached at a certain height, hooks are located along it.

They do not have to go in one line at all. Hooks can be located at different levels or even depict some shape. Sometimes this model is played very creatively. You can simply hang tree branches and varnish them. Such a hanger will certainly add exclusivity to your hallway. There are absolutely no restrictions here, except for your imagination.

Manufacturing

Making things for the house with your own hands is always a pleasant and interesting activity that allows you to decorate the interior of your room and give it coziness and comfort. If you don't have enough experience to create furniture, try making a coat hanger first. It will take you very little time, but you will be able to decorate your apartment on your own.

Choice of wood

First of all, you need to select wood for your product. When choosing a wooden plank, be sure to remember that wood may have some disadvantages. In particular, in conifers, some time after the application of varnish, a tendency to yellow may appear, as well as a decrease in strength. Note the presence of knots on the board that make it difficult to handle the wood, as well as an unnatural color, which indicates that the wood is rotten.

To make a hanger with your own hands, you should choose a board that has a width of 3 cm or more.

In order to protect the wood from decay, use special antiseptics. It should be remembered that the decrease in the strength of the tree is largely influenced by increased humidity.

Step by step guide:

  • To make a hanger, you should start by creating a stencil for the panel on which you will fix the hooks. Come up with any shape for your product, and then carefully draw a template on a piece of paper. Please note that the stencil should not exceed the size of the board.
  • After cutting out the template, attach it to the wooden board and trace along the contour with a pencil.
  • Shape the hanger with a saw, then start sanding.
  • The board should be pre-moistened with water and allowed to dry. Sanding wood is carried out along the grain with light pressure on the tool.
  • For an even application of the varnish, the edges of the surface should be rounded off with a boss. It must be directed at an angle of 45 degrees. Nowadays, in hardware stores, you can see thin steel wire, coiled into a coil, which is intended for grinding wood. However, its disadvantage is that after processing, the smallest particles of steel remain in the wood, on which rust may appear in the future.
  • To appreciate the work on the hanger with your own hands, you need to put on a nylon stocking on your hand and hold it over the treated surface. If there are irregularities on the stocking, tightenings will remain.
  • You can decorate the product with the help of burning, if you or your family members know how to do this. Otherwise, the finished picture can be purchased at the store. It is best to glue it to the hanger with special glue, since nailing it down will deprive the structure of aesthetics and grace.
  • Then the product must be varnished and allowed to dry. To achieve the desired color, repeat the procedure for applying varnish to the hanger at least 3 times.
  • After finishing the processing, proceed with the hooks, which can be wooden or metal. Metal hooks can be purchased at the store and nailed to the base. Wooden ones are quite possible to make yourself. On the hanger itself, you also need to drill holes in the place where the hooks are attached, and then, having greased the dowels with glue, insert them into these holes.

When the hanger is ready, it can be installed anywhere in the apartment: in a room, hallway or corridor. By making the hooks thicker, you can even hang heavy objects, such as garden tools, from them.

Of forks

If you want to somehow decorate the hallway and do something creative and unusual with your own hands, feel free to embody your ideas. The idea is very interesting, especially if you want to make a hanger out of forks. At first glance, it may seem that this is not entirely possible, but you are mistaken.

To create an unusual hanger, we need:

  • table forks;
  • board;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • screwdriver;
  • spray paint;
  • drill;
  • pliers;
  • varnish;
  • brush.

First of all, we will need to bend the forks in a certain way. We do not touch the two extreme prongs of the fork, only slightly bend them for the convenience of further work. And we bend the two teeth in the middle with pliers into two parallel arcs. If an equal arc does not work out - it's okay, this will only give your hanger originality. You will also need to bend the fork handle slightly. The bend should be done approximately in the middle of the handle. This can be easily done with your hands.

We carry out such actions on each of the surebets. By the way, you can choose absolutely any number of forks on your hanger. Just be sure to find the right length for the board.

To secure the forks to the board, you need to drill small screw holes in them. The hole should be slightly below the bottom edge of the curved fork tines.

Next, we prepare our board. If it is a little uneven, we will have to trim away the unsightly edges and sand them to smooth out the surface a little. To give the board some shape, grind the corners a little. After that we cover the board with varnish. It is advisable to do this on the balcony or on the street. Apply the varnish with a brush in one direction and leave it to dry completely. If desired, the board can be painted in a color that matches the interior of your hallway. After the varnish on the board has dried, we can attach the forks. The forks are screwed in with self-tapping screws using a screwdriver or screwdriver. After attaching the legs of the forks, bend up slightly.

Our fork hanger is ready. It remains only to drill two holes with which the hanger will be attached to the wall.
