A hanger in the hallway is not only a place to place clothes. It can be a design element and decoration, and additional features in the form of a shoe rack or mirror will allow you to avoid buying several more pieces of furniture. What kind of wall hanger could be in the hallway and how to make it with your own hands?
Types of hangers
Wall hangers in the hallway can come in a variety of shapes and sizes: from a small board with hooks for small room to models with cabinets, cabinets and shoe racks for more spacious ones.
Materials
Most often, hangers are made of wood or metal. The material must be strong and durable. Metal options more durable, they can be found not only in apartments, but also in offices. The most commonly used wood species are beech, birch, and pine. Wood goes well with glass, metal, and mirror surfaces.
The hanger can be either a traditional shape or in the form of a tree that retains its natural shape, with twigs and twigs, or deer antlers. Wooden models may be artificially aged.
Wall hangers made of natural wood are pleasant to the touch and environmentally friendly. Designer models made from valuable species can be quite expensive.
Hangers are also made from laminated chipboard. This is a cheaper option than natural wood, but less durable. Wood and chipboard are coated with various varnishes or paints.
Metal models can be either chrome-plated or painted. There are also forged options that can suit both classic and modern interior. Metal hangers for the hallway are strong and durable.
Stylish forged hangers are sold in finished form, they are also made to order, which is quite expensive, but you will get a unique product. Forged models can be covered with black enamel or decorated with gold, silver, bronze, or patinated. They are made with plant patterns, images of animals and other subjects, so you can find an option that suits any style of room.
How to choose a hanger
When choosing this piece of furniture, you need to consider several points.
- Outerwear, especially winter clothing or one that gets wet in the rain, is heavy, so the hanger must be durable.
- Metal models should be lightweight.
- Count the optimal number of hooks so that all family members can hang their clothes.
- Also consider the height of all family members.
- Hooks with balls or other massive elements at the ends are inconvenient if you plan to hang your coat on loops.
- The heads of nails, screws or other fasteners must be hidden.
- When purchasing, be sure to look at the build quality.
- A model with a shelf is convenient for hats.
Design
The appearance of the hanger should match the style of the hallway. Models made from chipboard and metal are made for almost all styles. Can be found original options for high-tech, loft, minimalism, urban style, Provence and others.
Designers offer different original options, some of them are shown in the photo below. Hangers with folding hooks are interesting and practical; they can be either large, covering the entire wall, or compact for a small hallway.
The design of a hallway hanger can include such unusual elements as metal pipes, valves, hooks. The hooks themselves can be made in the form of hands, clothespins, piano keys
DIY hanger
And if you want to show your creativity or you are not attracted to the models presented in stores, you can make a hanger for the hallway with your own hands. In this case, you can use a variety of materials:
- tree,
- laminated chipboard,
- horns,
- metal pipes,
- door handles,
- furniture parts,
- platbands for doors.
It is important that the end result is strong and reliable design. How to make a simple hanger with your own hands, watch the video.
From elk antlers
For a hanger made from elk or deer antlers, you need the antlers themselves and a wooden base. It may be enough to cut down a tree large diameter or a more complex composition of several wooden parts as in the photo.
Advice! Wood product looks beautiful garden trees — different breeds have different shades.
If you find antlers in the forest, they must be properly processed:
If elk or deer antlers have been on the ground all winter, they will be darker in color. Fresh antlers after sanding have an ocher color.
To attach the horns to the base, 3 holes are drilled into them. For fastening, screws 80-100 mm long are used.
From cuts
This hanger can be made from pieces of wood of different diameters. If you need to get rid of old things in the garden fruit tree, you can give it a second life in this way. Of course, the wood should not be rotten and without large cracks.
Simple hanger made of chipboard
To make it, you can use furniture stitch. Such boards are sold in furniture or construction stores. Metal hooks are also required. If you want to make a shelf, you need two boards. To attach the shelf, brackets or corners are required. Tools you will need:
- drill,
- tape measure or ruler for measuring distances.
First you need to lay out the hooks on the board and mark the locations of the holes for their fastening. To do this evenly, you will need a ruler or tape measure. On another board, mark the mounting locations for the brackets.
Hooks and corners (brackets) are attached using self-tapping screws. Holes are drilled under them so that the chipboard does not crack when screwed. In this case, take a drill 1-2 mm thinner than the self-tapping screw.
The shelf can be hung separately or attached to a board with hooks. The hanger is attached to the wall using dowels and self-tapping screws.
Vertical hanger
A tall vertical hanger is suitable for a small hallway where there is no wardrobe. It's not difficult to make.
Suitable materials include lining, boards or door frames. The last option needs to be strengthened cross bars, since the platbands are not intended for hanging heavy clothes on them. It is to these planks that the hooks will be attached, so you need to choose wood or durable pressed timber for them. In this case, the platbands play a more decorative role.
It will be more convenient to first mount the crossbars on the wall, and then attach them to them decorative boards. It is not necessary to place them parallel; you can make the hanger expand at the top. Then mark on the wall where the boards will be attached.
Selection of hooks
You can use not only ordinary hooks, but also come up with more original solution, for example, take or hammers. To make the hanger more spacious, it is better to choose triple hooks, they are available different designs. The hooks must match the base material: silver or chrome-plated ones are suitable for light wood, copper, golden or bronze colors are suitable for dark, aged wood.
Advice! Choose hooks with two holes for fastening. This way they won't spin.
If there are two rows of hooks, it is best to choose them of the same design, but different sizes. Larger ones are placed in the top row.
Conclusion
Not a single hallway would be complete without a hanger. This element can not only fulfill its direct function, but also serve as decoration. You can find many models on sale, or you can make your own unique hanger yourself.
You can do without a hanger in the hallway or corridor only if you have a large closet, and even then not always. In private homes, it is more convenient to have “duty” clothes on hand - to jump out into the yard. Those that are mounted on the wall are more convenient: they take up less space. One thing is not encouraging: the prices for worthy specimens are considerable. Therefore, we will tell you how to make a wall hanger with your own hands. The models are different, different techniques are used, but they have one thing in common: they are easy to make, especially with detailed photos process and explanations. There are also diagrams and video tutorials.
From boards in the form of a tree
Our small hallway needs a hanger. I don’t want to buy a regular one in the form of a bar with hooks - I don’t really like them, and my little daughter won’t be able to get them. Other options with a set of parallel boards are also not inspiring. There is a switch on this wall, so it won’t work without adjustment, and it’s not clear what it will look like. Therefore, it was decided: I make a wall hanger with my own hands in the shape of a tree - trunk, branches. It fits into the interior. I will treat the wood with stain and varnish water based, the color should be close to the color of the front door.
So, two unedged boards 25 mm thick were purchased at the sawmill. There are markings on them - on one there is a trunk, on the other there are branches.
We take an electric jigsaw and cut out the blanks along the marked contours. Next is a turn of very dusty work - we sand the wood, while simultaneously adjusting the thickness of the joints with the “branches”. We used a drill with a rubber attachment and sandpaper. First the coarse grain, then the medium and fine grain.
Sanding is a dusty business
Once the result was satisfactory - it became smooth and the grain of the wood was clearly visible - it was time to stain. This is a mahogany color applied in four layers. After drying, we coated everything with water-based varnish. Three layers were applied at intervals of three hours.
200 mm nails were used as hooks. They were cut according to required length(different - longer for the top of the hanger, shorter for the bottom). The caps and rod were sanded for smoothness, and threads were cut on the lower part to the thickness of the board (25 mm). Holes were previously made in the “branches” and “hooks” were screwed into them.
Now all that remains is to fix all the parts on the wall. The walls are concrete, so we fasten them with dowels. First we attach the barrel and drill holes through it. Set aside the wood for now and insert plastic plugs for the dowels into the holes. Having placed the “trunk” in place, we screw it. Using the same technology we attach the “branches”.
It turned out well, and the color matches the door almost exactly. There are plans to build a small shelf for shoes and bags. The entire cost of making this hanger was about $6 for the boards and $2 for the nails, about the same amount was spent on the dowels. There was stain and varnish, and the consumption was small.
Simple wall hanger made of laminated chipboard
The task is to make a cheap clothes hanger on the wall (for rented apartment). IN hardware store bought two boards made of laminated chipboard () called “ furniture board" Two, because the price turned out to be low, and in the accessories department, where they were looking for hooks, they found some good brackets for very little money. We will use them for the second board - we will make a shelf for small items.
The tools you will need are a screwdriver or screwdriver, a drill, and a set of drills. Also, use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the places where hooks and brackets are attached.
After unpacking the boards, glue stains and some other incomprehensible stains were found on them. All this can be eliminated with a solvent. Take a soft white (not colored) rag and wipe everything well.
Next, mark with a pencil the places for the screws. Remove the hooks and drill holes. Drill - 1-2 mm smaller in diameter than the diameter of the self-tapping screw. The hole is necessary so that the work goes easier, and also so that the surface does not crack when twisting. We put the hooks in place.
Now it's the turn of the shelf. I set aside equal distances on one side and the other, attached the brackets, and marked the holes for fasteners. Drilled holes and installed brackets. All.
Now we attach it to the wall. The technique is the same, but with dowels: apply, mark the attachment points, drill. The drill is the size of the dowel. We insert the dowel plug into the hole, attach the hanger/shelf to the wall, and fasten it.
This DIY wall hanger was made in two hours (including the shelf).
Hanger with shelf
You can take the idea as a basis and use any other “hooks” and stops. This DIY wall hanger is made from two 25mm planed boards, two carpenter's squares and five hammers.
The wood needs to be dry, otherwise cracks may occur. Instead of squares, you can even use triangular pieces of a similar board. Important condition- Availability right angle. And instead of hammers, you can even secure knots or, for example, cut wooden hangers, yes any hooks. This option is just a gift.
Spare parts - hammers and squares
The two boards must be the same length. An exact match is important. Having adjusted the length, we sand the edges. There is a drill - we take the attachment, attach the emery and sand first with coarse grain, then with medium grain. Then we start marking. First, we mark where the stops will be attached. We divide the remaining distance by six, put marks - there are five of them. Just according to the number of “hooks”.
We mercilessly cut off the handles on the hammers. We cut it slightly obliquely to create a slight slope.
Using a drill, make holes in the center. The diameter of the drill is 1-2 mm smaller than the fastener used, the depth of the hole is no less than the length of the self-tapping screw.
The two boards must be connected at right angles. The installation step of the screws is 10-15 cm. We mark the places on the sidewall and transfer them to the end. High accuracy is required. We apply one to the other and transfer the marks with a finely sharpened pencil. We make holes according to the markings.
Drilling holes
We fold the boards at an angle of 90° and connect them with self-tapping screws. First we twist the two outermost ones, then the one in the middle, and then all the rest. The length of the screws is at least 75 mm (triple the thickness of the board).
Using the markings, we drill holes for the hooks.
We install angle stops. Since carpenter's squares were used, there were no holes in them. They were drilled - two at the top and bottom on each plank. There are 8 screws on one stop. We take them small - more than 20 mm, so as not to puncture the wood. Therefore, a large number of them are required.
The wooden wall hanger is ready. All that's left to do is paint it and hang it on the wall.
Based on this homemade hanger, other versions were made.
