In any house there are books that need somewhere to be placed. In any room there are places that remain "empty", which distorts the general appearance of the room. Why not combine the useful with the pleasant? An excellent solution to this problem will be the bookshelf placed in the empty space of the room. You can, of course, buy a shelf, but you need to spend time looking for a shelf of the right size, and it's still not known whether it will fit into the interior of the room. If such a regiment is made by itself, then with some manifested fancy and zeal, it will bring its unique "zest" to the overall design.
Before starting to make bookshelves, you need to decide on the following questions:
- Why do I need a regiment? More like decorating an interior and filling free space or for something specific;
- What should be the dimensions of the shelf? How many tiers does she have? Therefore, you need to make all the necessary measurements in the place of the planned installation. Determines the length, width of the shelf, and also the height dimension;
- Under what load should the shelf be made? After all, one thing, if it is installed on one vase with artificial flowers, it's another matter if several weighty book volumes;
- How to fix a shelf? There can be different nuances in the place of installation. You can mount on the wall, and if the shelf will be in any opening - maybe a lateral mount. Maybe the option of fixing the shelf directly to the ceiling. And the wall material? It's one thing if the wall is brick, for example, and another, if it's made of plasterboard;
- It is necessary to determine and with such a question as humidity in the room, and in the installation site - including. If the shelf is near the outer wall, next to the window, then the humidity will be higher. In this case, it is better to use the board than the chipboard, for example;
- What will be the external design of the shelf?
Based on the decision made, it is necessary to decide what material to prepare. To make the shelf, you can use a board, plywood, and chipboard sheets. With the instrument everything is clear: a saw, a hammer, nails or screws, etc. One thing needs to be considered: the smaller the teeth at the saw, the more carefully the place will be cut. If the board is not very thick, then a hacksaw for metal is just right. Well and "registration": paints, varnishes, color paper, a film. To each his own.
When determining the length of each tier, it should be taken into account that the total thickness of the side walls will also be added to it. The fastening of individual tiers with side walls can be done either with the help of metal corners, or with screws into the end of the board( in the center of the width of the board).In this case, it is necessary to drill chamfers in the side walls of the screws with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the screw head. Then the screw will be completely drowned in the board.
Shelves can be of different configurations. With a shift of tiers, for example. So you can come up with any version of the execution, it would be a desire. Some of them you can look at the video:
