Making corner shelves with your own hands from wood. Do-it-yourself corner shelf. Place corner shelves in different rooms

Open corner shelves help to make the living and working space more functional, and can serve as a spectacular detail of the overall interior solution. To the question of how to make corner shelves, do-it-yourself corner racks are suitable based on the available free space and the planned design.

Do-it-yourself options for corner shelves and open shelving

The appearance of furniture is largely determined by the materials used in the manufacture. An open corner rack can be made from solid wood and chipboard, MDF and plywood, glass and metal. And in each version, the same constructive solution will look different.

An open corner rack can radically change the appearance when changing minor details.

Also, combinations of different contrasting colors can change the usual model beyond recognition.

How to make an open corner rack step by step

First of all, you need to decide on overall dimensions open shelving. As a rule, all models have an extremely concise design and easily fit into the allotted space, supporting the overall interior solution.
Open shelves can be mounted both on the rack frame and directly on the wall. In the second case, in order to fix the corner shelves neatly and beautifully on the wall with your own hands, you will need to purchase special holders for shelves - toucans (pelicans) or consoles of various configurations.

Also, a corner rack with shelves can be floor and wall. In the first case, it is necessary to provide a basement box in the design. Usually I do not make solid sidewalls to the floor - so that the plinth does not interfere with moving the product close to the wall. After all, it is not always possible to cut it off; wiring is often “hidden” inside the hollow plinth.

Consider an example of calculating the detailing and drawing up maps of the cut of a corner rack with your own hands using the example of the first model.

Step 1. We draw the design on a scale, indicating the overall dimensions and numbering of parts. Thinking about how the parts will be connected to each other. Since the rack will stand close to the walls, it makes no sense to use hidden fasteners in the form of dowels and eccentric ties. If the through holes on the bottom shelf, in the places where the basement box is attached, are also “embarrassing”, discard the euro screws (confirmations) in favor of the corners.

Step 2 We paint the corner rack with our own hands in the form of detailing, draw up cut cards. The calculation is given for Chipboard thickness 16 mm. For materials of other thicknesses, the dimensions of the shelves will be slightly different.

Step 3 After cutting out the details, designing the radii, we roll up the visible parts with a melamine or PVC edge.

Step 4 According to the fastener marking specifications, we drill the parts for further assembly.

If you did everything right, the corner shelf will assemble with your own hands as a “constructor”, like a regular serial product.

Corner shelves save space, so this design solution is a godsend for small areas. A similar piece of furniture can be made independently, because this does not require special knowledge, expensive equipment and a lot of time.

The choice of material and tools for the shelf

corner shelf can be made by hand from various materials. Consumers very often make a choice in favor of chipboard, MDF or plywood. Another option may be window profiles, as well as glass.

The choice of tools depends on the material from which you need to create a shelf with your own hands.

Yes, for wooden models worth having:

electric jigsaw;
hacksaw;
a saw with fine teeth;
drill;
glue;
a rail for creating compasses and compasses with a large radius;
wooden lath for the base of the structure.

If the corner shelf will be made from a window sill profile, then you should purchase the following tools:

drill;
hacksaw;
level;
self-tapping screws;
rail to reinforce the rigidity of the edge;
glue "Moment";
cable channels.

The least number of tools is required when you need to make a glass corner shelf:

a set of holders for glass shelves (there are already self-tapping screws and dowels here);
level;
drill.

When all the materials and tools for the work are collected, you can begin to create shelves.

How to make a corner shelf

Creating a shelf and its installation is a fairly quick process. Therefore, in a few hours (or less), you can easily transform the room, which can not be compared with the time spent when you need to create a closet. You can make the shelves correctly with the help of step-by-step instructions.

glass shelf

To make such a shelf, you need to follow these steps:

A shelf template is created from cardboard.
Cutting and processing glass can be done both at home and in a special workshop. But it is the pros who will do all the work at a high level, and the consumer will have the opportunity to choose the most suitable material.
Holders are being purchased.
Next, you need to put the shelf on one of the holders, attach it to the wall and use a pencil to outline the upper limit of its attachment.
The first holder is attached, for this, the self-tapping screws and dowels included in the kit are used.
The glass is inserted into the first holder, fixed and put on the second. Use a level to level the shelf. Mark the drilling locations with a pencil.
The second holder is mounted.

Here is a simple way to make glass shelves at home.

Shelf from window sill profile

The shelf can be given any shape, but you should always remember about right angle base that will be attached to the wall.

In order to build a shelf, follow the instructions:

The material is marked.
Using a hacksaw, a shelf is cut.
Further, with the help of a special rail, which coincides with the profile in thickness and length, the frame is reinforced. To do this, put this material on the glue "Moment" and fix it to the edge of the profile.
Holes are drilled in the already glued rail.
Self-tapping screws are driven into the wall under the holes already drilled in the shelf. During operation, a level is used.
The open ends of the structure are hidden behind cable channels selected by thickness. They are stuck on with glue.
The shelf is fixed on self-tapping screws.

You can change the color of this design using various adhesive films, matched to the interior.

Thus, an ordinary profile will easily turn into marble.

Chipboard shelf (plywood, MDF)

The fastening of such shelves is done in several ways. The first consists in fitting onto a longitudinal base rail, the second in fixing it in the grooves of the transverse base.

The first method is good because there is no need to drill either tiles or walls:

A shelf is cut out of chipboard. To do this, using a compass, you need to draw a circle, divide it into 4 parts and cut each with a jigsaw or a hacksaw.
On the base rail, the locations of the shelves and the size of the required groove are marked. The blanks are applied to the rail, and their width is fixed.
With a fine-toothed saw, cuts are made to the depth of the middle of the rail, and an unnecessary element is removed with a knife.
On the shelf at the base corner, a section is planned that needs to be cut out. In terms of area, it is equal to the depth and width of the groove in the rail.
With a fine-toothed saw, according to the marked markings, you need to make a cut and remove an unnecessary element.
Next, the shelves are polished, and entry into the grooves is checked.
Using glue, the rail must be fixed to the wall, secured with tape and left for at least an hour.
Shelves are inserted into the already fixed rail without any other fixation.

In such a simple way, you can make shelving for the living room, bathroom, kitchen, etc.

To make a shelf in the second way, you must first make grooves, and only then take on the main element:

In two bars, along the length equal to the size of the sides of the shelf, using circular saw grooves of the required width are formed.
These elements are attached to the wall using self-tapping screws or dowels. It is necessary to ensure that their hats are completely recessed.
The angle is carefully measured. The measurements are transferred to the material, where the contour of the shelf is drawn.
Using a jigsaw or file, an element is cut out.
Used to decorate edges. special tape.
When the shelf is completely ready, it is inserted into the grooves.

Just a few hours, and a beautiful decor element is already in place!

Creating a shelf with his own hands, the master takes into account everything: his ideas, the interior, the features of the corner, where this item will be located.

There is nothing better than shelves for organizing space in rooms, as well as for decorating the interior. comfortable, functional, original form, they help to conveniently arrange a lot of things and give the rooms a more comfortable look. Making shelves on the wall with your own hands is not at all difficult, and you can use a variety of different materials- wood, fiberboard, glass, pieces of tin, plywood.

Types of wall shelves	Description
Classic	This type of shelves is the most common because of its simplicity, aesthetic appearance and ease of installation. They are a huge flight of fancy: from simple squares to creative asymmetric shapes.
corner	This type of wall shelves differs in the method of fastening - it is carried out on adjacent adjacent walls. Most often they are mounted in utility rooms and bathrooms
Suspended	This original way creating a shelf involves attaching a simple structure to the ceiling using cables or vertical racks
floor standing	This wall shelf is a floor support structure. This type of product is especially relevant in the hallways, as well as large rooms where you don't have to think about wasting space
Open and closed shelves on the wall	Wall shelves can be designed, for example, with or without glass

Making a simple wooden shelf

The tree is the most comfortable material for work. Wooden shelves are simple, complex, open and closed, vertical, horizontal and angular. Taking the basic version as a basis, you can assemble a shelf from several modules and give it the most incredible look. In order for the product to serve for a long time, you should choose the right wood: the boards must be perfectly even, completely dry, without cracks, voids and mold.

During the assembly process you will need:

hacksaw;
drill;
building level;
pencil and ruler;
boards 16 mm thick;
stain;
varnish for wood;
grinder;
screws, brackets, dowels.

As an example, a simple rectangular shelf 250 mm wide, 300 mm high and 1100 mm long is used.

Step 1. Markup

The boards are laid flat on the table and measurements are transferred from the drawing. The height of the side walls should be 268 mm, since they will be located between the top and bottom: wall height + board thickness x 2 = 300 mm.

Step 2. Cutting the boards

If the markup exactly matches the pattern, you can start cutting. It is best to use a jigsaw for this, then the cuts are perfectly even and neat. You should get 2 long blanks and 2 short ones.

Step 3. Processing blanks

Before proceeding with the assembly, each workpiece must be sanded, stained and varnished. If you plan to simply paint the shelf, the blanks are processed - this way the service life increases, and the paint lays down more evenly.

Step 4. Assembly of the product

The bottom board is laid flat on flat surface. 8 mm retreat from the ends of the workpiece and draw 2 straight lines parallel to the cuts. Now on these lines you need to mark two points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge, and drill holes for the screws there. Do the same with the top piece. When all the holes are ready, side blanks are installed on the bottom board and screws are screwed in. A second board is applied on top and also fixed with self-tapping screws. side walls.

Brackets are fixed at the ends of the side walls, holes for dowels are drilled in the wall, self-tapping screws are inserted and twisted so that they protrude by about 5 mm. The dowels must be located strictly horizontally, therefore, before drilling, a line is drawn using a level. Now it remains only to attach the brackets to the fasteners and hang the shelf. If desired, the back wall of the product can be hammered with a piece of plywood, and glass can be inserted in front.

To make such a simple shelf more original, you can replace one side wall with a stump of a thick branch. To do this, choose an even branch with a diameter of about 7-8 cm with a smooth clean bark, saw off a piece 28 cm long, cut off everything lateral processes. Chock is treated with a primer, dried and varnished. The bark does not need to be removed. After the varnish has dried, the workpiece is inserted between the upper and lower boards and screwed tightly with self-tapping screws.

Based on this drawing, you can make various variations of wall shelves. For example, reduce the length to 400 mm and make 3-4 blocks at once. Then install them on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern and secure them together with metal plates. Or simply fix them on the wall separately, placing them at a short distance from each other.

Often, to save space, shelves are made angular, and they can be mounted both in the inner and outer corners.

The blanks are made according to the scheme described above, only the upper and lower boards consist of two elements, with ends sawn at an angle. The process of making such a shelf is quite simple:

the halves of the top board are smeared at the ends with glue and clamped with clamps;
repeat the same steps with the bottom board;
when the glue dries, all the workpieces are stained or primed;
fastening lines are marked on the upper and lower blanks and holes are drilled;
insert the side walls and fix them with self-tapping screws.

Wall shelf materials	Advantages and disadvantages
Wood: plywood, chipboard, MDF and others	This material is relatively easy to work with, it looks beautiful, natural and spectacular, its service life is quite long, especially if pre-treatment is carried out.
Plastic	This material is the most versatile, it can imitate both wood and stone, while removing their imperfections.
Metal	Such wall shelves will be very strong, reliable and durable, however, in classic interior they fit in with difficulty. In addition, corrosion can also be a problem, so for metal products required special processing and conditions
Glass	Transparent wall shelves will create an atmosphere of lightness and comfort in the house. Of course, it will be difficult to make a glass structure with your own hands, but if you nevertheless decide to do all the work yourself, then you will have to work with glass for quite a long time and very carefully, especially if various cutouts are planned in the design of the shelf.

Original book shelves

Shelves of non-standard shape are in increasing demand, so if you wish, you can try to assemble something original. For example, used bookshelf in the form of a simplified labyrinth.

For manufacturing you will need:

edged board 20 mm thick;
wood glue;
clamps;
roulette;
hacksaw;
miter box;
Sander;
stain;
furniture screws, self-tapping screws;
decorative shelf holders.

If you have everything you need, you can start making the shelf.

Step 1. Markup

On the prepared boards, cut lines are marked with a pencil under the ruler. Measurements should be transferred very carefully, since all horizontal parts have different lengths.

Step 2. Trimming blanks

The ends of each workpiece are cut at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. The diagram shows the first option, so you need a miter box for sawing. It is very important to correctly install the miter box on the board so that the cuts are symmetrical. If the ends are cut off incorrectly, it will not work to fold the shelf.

Step 3. Assembly of the structure

The ends of the parts are smeared with glue, tightly compressed and additionally fixed with slotted furniture screws. Ordinary self-tapping screws do not fit here. At least 2 screws are required for each joint. Both parts of the shelf are applied to the wall, leveled and the attachment points are marked with a pencil. After that, holes for dowels are drilled, brackets are screwed to the shelf with self-tapping screws and the structure is hung on the wall. Instead of brackets, decorative pelican shelf holders are often used.

Hanging shelf with straps

If you want to decorative shelf For small items, the next option is perfect - a board suspended on belts.

To make a shelf you will need:

2 edged boards 300x750 mm, 30 mm thick;
4 leather belts 75 cm long;
4 long screws with plastic dowels;
4 short screws;
building level;
ruler;
sharp knife;
drill.

Step 1. Preparing the straps

The cuts of the belts must be perfectly even, therefore, if necessary, they are cut with a knife. Fold each belt in half, press the ends to the table, step back from the edge 2 cm and drill a neat through hole. Do the same with the remaining three.

Step 2 Attach the straps to the wall

On the wall, using a level, two points are determined at a distance of 60 cm. Holes are drilled and plastic dowels are inserted. A belt folded in half is applied to one of the holes and fixed with a long screw - a large loop is obtained on the wall. Another such loop is attached nearby.

Step 3 Installing the Shelf

A polished board is inserted into the loops and aligned horizontally. To prevent the shelf from moving, the parts of the belts adjacent to the wall near the board itself are screwed with short self-tapping screws. Now another one is hung under this shelf, exactly repeating the steps described above. The result is a light and neat bunk shelf. If desired, you can add 1-2 more tiers.

For the manufacture of the shelves described above, you can use not only wood, but also plywood, as well as chipboard sheets. The latter option is used most often, since chipboard is light in weight, high strength, practicality and durability. When assembling shelves from this material, all sections must be pasted over with a melamine edge to match the color of the sheet.

Making a glass shelf

Glass shelves harmoniously fit into any interior, and the installation process does not take much time. For work you will need:

strained glass;
hammer;
electric drill;
building level;
aluminum profile;
dowels;
adhesive tape;
ruler;
pencil.

Not everyone knows how to cut glass correctly, and therefore it is better to order cutting blanks in the workshop. They will also perform grinding and polishing of the edges, so that when installing the shelf, you will not be cut on sharp edges. Everything else can be done on your own.

Step 1. Marking for fasteners

The section of the wall where the shelf will hang should be as large as possible. By using building level draw a horizontal line on the wall with a pencil. On the line mark the location of the fasteners, drill holes.

Step 2: Install profiles

An aluminum profile is applied to the wall surface and the conformity of the mounting marks is checked. Then dowels are inserted into the holes, the profile is baited with one screw and leveled horizontally. After that, tighten the rest of the screws.

Instead of a drill, we insert the bracket screw. Screw in the bracket screw. Leave the bracket screw to protrude from the wall. Check the position. Position the shelves.

Step 3 Attaching the Shelf

The rear edge of the glass shelf is closed with adhesive tape. You can use separate spacers from the tape, placing them where the glass will touch the heads of the screws. The shelf is inserted into the profile, the edges of the profile are closed with protective caps. If two shelves touch on the sides, their edges are fastened with metal fittings.

If you have free time and a desire to experiment, you can create very unusual wall shelves from improvised materials. For example, the corner shelf from plastic pipes. For its manufacture, segments will be needed sewer pipes and corner cuts. The shelf is attached to the wall with screws and dowels.

Old suitcases and diplomats also make great wall shelves. To do this, they are cut in height to half, cover the back with plywood and fix on the wall with screws or on brackets.

Drawers from unnecessary bedside tables are quite suitable for the manufacture of shelves. To give them an elegant look, the boxes should be carefully sanded, primed and painted in bright colors. Then they are leaned back wall to the surface, mark the attachment points and drill holes for them. Even one such shelf looks very original, and a composition of 2-3 drawers will become a real decoration.

Interesting wooden shelf. Master Class

You will need:

Rope;
Board at least 2 cm thick;
2 corners (mounts) for shelves;
Steel washers;
Lighter;
Drill;
Saw.

Corner shelf on the wall successfully copes with the task of saving space. It is relevant in any room, whether it is a kitchen, hallway, living room or bathroom. The choice of material of manufacture depends on the operating conditions and the prevailing style in the interior.

The variety of design solutions allows you to choose optimal size and the shape of the corner shelf. If among the rich assortment finished products there was no suitable copy, a do-it-yourself corner shelf will become a worthy element of the interior.

Production material

The choice of material for shelves on the wall takes into account three factors. Initially, the operating conditions of the corner structures are evaluated. The design of the room plays a significant role. The purpose of installing the shelf is also important: will light souvenirs and knick-knacks stand on it, or is the design intended for a large number of heavy books. After analyzing all the components, they come to the final choice.

Characteristics of the materials that are used in the production of corner shelves on the wall:

As you can see, there are many practical and original solutions what material to choose for the construction on the wall. Corner shelves in the interior in the photo below:

Design features and methods of fastening

There are many ways to design corner structures on the wall. Most often there are models designed for the inner corner.

Comment! Outer corner design requires individual approach when making shelves. This option is appropriate in spacious rooms.

Shelves corner wall hinged amaze with a variety of designs. Simplicity and conciseness are inherent in instances where one or more shelves small size with a rounded edge occupies only the corner. Models that diverge along the walls to the sides look much more interesting. They may be symmetrical or have different sizes, complemented by side walls or keep minimalism. An example of corner shelves on the wall in the photo:

In addition to wall structures, there are other practical ways to decorate the interior. Corner shelving with open shelves - functional solution to accommodate a large number of books or things.

There are multi-tiered models of the type of whatnots. You can hardly achieve space savings with such an interior element, but there is an exclusive design.

The method of mounting on the wall is chosen taking into account the design of the corner shelf. Small single-level models are fixed on hinges; metal corners are suitable for multi-tiered products. Brackets are used when attaching shelves designed for heavy objects to the wall. Glass shelves on forged stands look nontrivial. Secret fastenings will add spectacularity to the interior, when the shelf seems to be floating in the air.

Creative individuals who appreciate a non-standard approach to solving familiar problems will like the idea when belts or chains, supplemented with anchor bolts, are used to fix the shelves to the wall.

Corner shelves: location and purpose

The design and dimensions of the shelf are selected taking into account the functionality of the room. Consider possible options interior design.

Kitchen

A large number of small items that should be constantly at hand will fit perfectly on a compact wall construction. Practicality is different wooden crafts. It can be a rough model of a "floating" shelf or a more sophisticated copy. The design depends on the overall style of the room. Metal, glass and plastic are rarely used in the kitchen. At self-manufacturing GVL can be used on the shelf wall.

If in a compact area, shelves often perform a practical function, then in spacious interiors they are more given a decorative role. Beautiful cups or small figurines will be a great addition to the decor. Look at the photo how impressive the shelf looks, the outlines of which follow the shape corner pedestals:

Hallway

You can be creative when decorating the interior with a corner shelf in the hallway. There are many design options:

A small shelf on the wall is used to store keys.

A completely different modification is needed for bags.
Exquisitely in a spacious hallway look floor structures resembling whatnots. Usually they are filled with souvenirs and other decorative items.

The corner wall wooden shelf is capable to carry out function of a hanger.

Advice! A corner shoe stand will look harmonious in tandem.

As in the case of the kitchen, products made of wood or its derivatives are optimally suited for the hallway. The shape and dimensions are chosen with a reference to the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Corner shelves in the hallway in the photo below:

Bathroom

It is difficult to imagine the interior of a bathroom without a corner shelf on the wall. This is the optimal solution for placing a large number of cosmetics. Putting jars and tubes in lockers, which should be constantly at hand, is inconvenient.

There are two main manufacturing options - glass combined with a chrome stand or plastic with a metal stand. Such a variety of models, as in the kitchen and hallway, is not observed for the bathroom. Laconic design called special conditions operation. Regular contact with water or simply high humidity causes rapid surface contamination. It is the simple outlines that will help keep the corner shelf on the wall clean and not spend a lot of time on maintenance.

Advice! Do-it-yourself shelf on the bathroom wall is impractical.

Manufacturers in a large assortment offer functional ready-made specimens, which are equipped with all kinds of hooks for washcloths, special soap dishes and have perforations for water drainage.

Living room

Shelves on the wall of the living room - an indispensable piece of furniture. The range of their use is very wide. Lovers of reading will need a roomy corner shelving with open shelves. Wall shelves will save free space, the size and configuration of which is selected according to the purpose. A large number of books require the installation of a three-dimensional structure on the wall. In this case, the reliability of fastening deserves attention. If a functional piece of furniture serves as a stand for decorative elements, stop at more compact models.

Often icons are placed on small corner shelves. Specimens with carvings and figured wooden details are distinguished by particular sophistication.

No less popular are wall models designed for indoor flowers. Depending on the situation, elegant metal or wooden products are chosen.

Glass corner shelves in the interior of the living room are less common, they are mainly intended for the exhibition of small souvenirs, photo frames and figurines. To maintain an atmosphere of lightness in the interior, you should not place it on an open corner shelf. a large number of things so as not to create the effect of confusion or clutter.

Extremely aesthetically pleasing look plasterboard constructions on outside corners walls. Owners of spacious interiors can afford such luxury. For compact housing, it is important to use LED lighting, which will become an inexpensive and attractive design element.

Self-manufacturing methods

If you want to make a corner shelf on the wall yourself, they rarely turn to glass and metal. These materials require special equipment and professional skills to work. It is much easier to make a corner shelf made of chipboard on the wall.

Advice! You can reduce the cost of purchasing material if you refuse to buy a whole sheet and find a suitable amount of leftovers on sale.

An example of a simple design is shown in the photo:

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a corner shelf with your own hands:

Work begins with drawing up a sketch of the structure on the wall, indicating the dimensions.
Individual details are drawn on paper or cardboard, and then transferred to the base material. The contour is circled with a clerical knife or marker.
Details are cut with an electric jigsaw equipped with a fine-toothed file.
Fastener points are marked on the parts and holes are drilled.
The prepared elements of the future corner shelf on the wall are cleaned of debris before joining.
To achieve an aesthetic appearance in the places of cuts, a special tape will help, which is processed with a hot iron.
After pasting the details of the corner shelf on the wall, proceed to the assembly of the structure.
The finished product is fixed on the wall. To hide the fasteners, the hats are masked with special plugs, matched to the shade of the corner shelf.

The final touch is to arrange your favorite photos and other trinkets on a neat shelf. This is the easiest option for decorating a corner shelf on the wall. Wood carvers choose more complex options production, which will amaze with its sophistication and filigree.

When choosing a corner shelf on the wall, they start from three criteria: installation location, functions, features of the surrounding interior. Most often, wall shelves are made of wood derivatives due to the cheapness of the material and the ease of its processing. If you want to show your own skills, a shelf on the wall corner design can be assembled by yourself.

Very often you have to hang shelves on the walls to accommodate all the elements. To rationally plan the interior, it is worth using the corners and, thus, freeing the walls for cabinets and shelving. This requires a corner shelf, which can be made independently from existing materials. The article will discuss the main recommendations on how to make a corner shelf, as well as the main examples of designs.

Place corner shelves in different rooms

You can install a corner shelf in every room, but in most cases it is great for a kitchen or bathroom. Any housewife will quickly place on it a variety of jars of spices, cereals and other kitchen utensils, and in the bathroom, such a shelf near the mirror will allow you to accommodate all hygiene products and free up the necessary drawers. It should be noted that these premises have enough high level humidity, which means that the tree will need to be additionally treated with antiseptics and applied at least two layers of paint. The best option will become plastic or glass, as they have more advantages:

resistant to moisture and temperature changes;
mold and fungi do not appear on surfaces;
withstand a lot of weight;
easy to clean;
A variety of colors will allow the design to fit into any interior.

Also, corner shelves on the wall are rational option which is suitable for bedrooms, nurseries and living rooms. Any other furniture can be placed under the shelf, for example:

nightstand;
computer desk;
armchair.

Regardless of what material was used, the design will look spectacular and presentable. All sorts of little things will be conveniently placed on the corner shelf: books, photographs, dishes, candles, toys and much more.

Note! To add more effect to the corner shelf, you can swipe to it LED backlight. With this method, designers give the wall depth.

Necessary materials and tools

Before embarking on planning and manufacturing, it is worth collecting the available materials and calculating: will they be enough? You can make your own corner shelf from a wide variety of materials, for example, such as:

wooden boards;
plywood;
glass;
plastic;
window profiles;
iron and others.

The first 4 options are considered the most common and practical. Everyone will cope with them, besides, a special tool is not required, as is the case with glass or iron. The set of tools in each case will be varied, but if we talk about lumber, then it is worth preparing in advance:

hacksaw;
jigsaw (manual or electric);
saw;
stationery knife;
drill;
sandpaper;
glue and fasteners;
ruler;
pencil;
paints and varnishes (paint or varnish);
brushes.

Note! For comparison, when making a glass corner shelf, you will need fewer tools: fasteners (self-tapping screws and dowels), a level, a drill, a felt-tip pen and a ruler.

Step-by-step instruction

Suitable as base material regular board left over from renovations. The width should be selected individually, based on the items that will be placed on it and the place where it will be installed.
In addition, for fastening you will need glue with a dispenser and screws (3.0 × 25 mm). As a decor, you can use semicircular slats.
We apply markings on the board at an angle of 45 ° of the required length and, using a hacksaw, cut it at an angle of 45 °. As a result, we get 4 shelves.
From the remnants of the board, you need to cut racks of the same size (for example, 5 × 20 cm) in the amount of 6 pieces.
All elements must be cleaned sandpaper to perfect smoothness.
Let's start building the structure. To each shelf, except for the top one, it is necessary to fix two racks. The markings are applied in the middle, then the elements are fastened with screws. To strengthen the fasteners, use PVA glue.
For ease of fastening, the racks of the middle shelf are placed at the edges.
The remaining parts of the corner shelf are assembled in the same way.
If desired, and if you have free time, you can decorate the shelves using semicircular slats. So, with their help, you can make low handrails so that small or round accessories do not fall out. On finishing stage the shelf is painted.

Note! After the first element has been cut out, it is necessary to attach it to the wall and check the correctness of the calculations. To prevent the board from bursting when fastening, a hole for self-tapping screws is drilled a little smaller than the screws.

Corner glass shelf

To make a small and simple design, it does not take much time and special skills, even if we are talking about a glass shelf. So to be precise and make a design correct sizes measurements need to be taken. After that, a diagram is drawn on paper indicating all the parameters obtained.

Glass cutting can be done independently, if there is no tool, then go to a special workshop. Here the masters will be able to cut out the necessary shape in a few minutes. Holders can be:

metal rods;
aluminum profile;
wooden frame.

IN ideal it is worth buying special holders, to which self-tapping screws and dowels for fastening will be included. Holders are fixed on the wall and glasses are put on alternately. Using the building level, evenness is checked. As a result, the cost of the shelf will be lower than the cost of a new one from the store.

Note! For convenience, experts recommend creating a template for a future cardboard shelf. This will avoid inaccuracies.

Only with exact observance of the data obtained after measurements, it is possible to produce a high-quality and reliable product, in particular, a corner shelf. It is very important to measure between the walls, as this angle is not always equal to 90°. As a basis, you can take a variety of materials that gather dust in a barn or garage.
