Wardrobe from the pantry

It is known that many apartments, especially the "Khrushchev", do not differ in size. But almost all the plans imply the presence of a pantry . In this case, you can think about remaking it for a wardrobe and then, depending on the size of the closet, your wardrobe can from a simple cupboard grow to the whole room.

We calculate the space

If you have a storage room not more than 60 centimeters in depth, then it is necessary to place a cabinet, which will turn out to be quite roomy. If it borders on the corridor, and above is equipped with a niche, get rid of it.

Then you can place in the resulting wardrobe shelves and drawers. And their number depends on how many things you have.

A good option is to arrange a wardrobe from the pantry in the "Khrushchev", which adjoins the bedroom and stretches over the entire length of the wall. In this case, if there are too many things, you can mount a "two-layer" wardrobe. That is - to attach the shelves to the back wall, and in front to make a hanger on which the clothes will not hang very tight, leaving the opportunity, pushing it apart, to gain access to the shelves near the wall.

Of course, any designs can be ordered in a special workshop, but in fact it is not so difficult to convert a closet into a cloakroom by yourself.

How to equip a wardrobe in the pantry - a master class

So, we'll tell you how to make a dressing room out of the pantry. Having studied our master class, you can independently equip the dressing room so that there will be enough room for all things. It will be necessary to arrange boxes and shelves there. You will need special holders for hangers with clothes. And if you want to preserve the functions of the pantry, you will have to install reinforced shelves for cans with canned goods. You can carry out the autonomous light, and also provide sliding doors according to the example of the closet.

First of all, we will need an electric jigsaw or saw, because we will work with wood. It is necessary to have a plane, a drill with a perforator, drills that work on concrete and wood, crosshead screwdrivers, a flat chisel, a knife, a tape measure, a square, a pencil PVA, a sandpaper.

Buy planed boards, the thickness of which is 200 mm. The length of the board depends entirely on the available space of the pantry. You will also need wooden blocks measuring 45x45 mm, an eight-millimeter plywood, a furniture pine shield, which is necessary for the facades of future boxes, aluminum corners - 40 by 40-2 mm and 25 by 25-0.2 mm.

Do not do without metal plates, screws, as well as retractable mechanisms for boxes. When this is all available, we begin to work.

  1. We make the drawing. Then on it we collect from brusochkov something like a ladder on a wall from both parties. Connections are made "in the paw", fastened PVA and for strength self-tapping screws.
  2. The two stairs are attached to the wall against each other. Then we put on the ledges cross bars starting from the bottom. It must be taken into account that the first and fourth shelves are solid. The second and the third are divided in the middle by plywood. We get the left side for the drawers, and the right one is left in the form of open shelves.
  3. You can design boxes in any way familiar to you, just as plywood will act as a bottom.
  4. After you secure the furniture panel from the outside, proceed with the installation of the handle and the retractable mechanism.
  5. Shelves will need to be placed on the corners attached to the plywood on the left and right bars. They are attached to the wall using aluminum corners.
  6. The boards for the laundry shelves are fixed with metal plates.
  7. The figure also shows how to attach the holder for the hangers.

This concludes the work. Wardrobe, made of such strong materials and even with their own hands in the former storage, will last for a long time and will become a real decoration of your house.
