Shoes take up more volume than clothes. For this reason, it is not so easy to find the desired corner in the room. There is often not enough space and part of the accessories is transferred to the hallway or wardrobe. Shoes of different people are usually mixed. If such chaos is constantly aggravated, it is necessary to look for new solutions. There is no wide variety of shoes, but thanks to the design ideas, more and more spacious and ergonomic models appear. If there was no ideal variant on sale or there is a desire to save, then elementary skills of needlework will be useful. Without large time costs, you can make useful and high-quality furniture. Plus, a self-made shoemaker is an opportunity to try your own ideas and fantasies in the field of interior design. The product can last for many years.
Types of shoes
By design, they are open and closed. The width of furniture for shoes is usually 30-150 cm, height - 50-200 cm, depth - 20-60 cm. Constructions up to 70-80 cm high are low, and with a figure of more than 130 - high. Shelves settling in many places. They can be part of a shop or special cabinets-bona, designed to accommodate shoes. With enough free space, you can think about the implementation of the original storage methods. One of the options for such storage - old boxes in different colors. They are attached to the wall at a short distance from each other. Beautiful vintage chests are also an interesting place to place. Both designer and authentic are equally good. We should also note the modules with special brackets - space saving in this case is maximum.
The most common options are:
- cabinets;
- racks;
- slim-shoes;
- thumbs;
- galoshnits;
- shoemakers racks.
Wardrobe
This is a multifunctional furniture, sometimes combined with a wall with hangers, side tables, supports and other accessories for clothes. This is a convenient solution, as many different options will do. Cabinets just for shoes will be relevant in the modular furniture sets. A narrow mirror set, for example, visually enlarges the hallway. The design is also retractable, which allows for less movement. A typical option can be considered a high "showcase" with 2 sections. If we are talking about wardrobe, then there may be a lower pull-out section. Priority when choosing furniture for storing shoes should be spaciousness and convenience. Therefore, options with a small height of shelves and maximum height are the most practical. In the shoe closet can fit up to 15 shelves, each of which - more than 10 pairs.
Shelving
Long, well-placed shelves can fit a large number of accessories. This method of placement has proven itself in small boutiques and large shopping centers. Bilateral constructions are also used there. At home, to save space, you can equip wall shelves. They have good ergonomics and high semicircular options. Shelves come in irregular shapes: instead of simple flat surfaces, you can see triangular, round, diamond-shaped, etc. When assembling a structure with your own hands, it is easier to make square cells - shoes can be folded as tightly as possible into them. Shelving - equally good solution for corridors, and for private rooms and dressing rooms. The disadvantages of these designs are the difficulty in sorting items and maintaining order.
Slim format
This model is characterized by a small depth. In the narrow square hallways is the best option. A distinctive feature of the slim-obuvnitsy are folding doors. The opening angle should correspond to 30-90 degrees. Convenience depends on the angle: the smaller it is, the more difficult it is to get shoes. However, the angular placement of the shoe itself does not require a large depth of furniture. In order to use this construction with advantage, it usually lasts 30 centimeters. Only slim and clean shoes should be placed in the slim size shoebox. This measure is mandatory, because the formation of an unpleasant odor and contamination of other things is possible. In the manufacture of slim-lockers mainly use chipboard and special accessories. This version of the shoebox is usually performed as an outdoor one, but the wall method is also used. One of the main disadvantages of such furniture is the lack of a place where you can put items for the care of shoes.
Obuvnitsa-curbstone
It can be made in the form of a combined version with several sections for storing shoes. So you can combine open shelves and closed sections, even placement of shoes and at an angle. It is desirable to allocate a small compartment for shoe care products: shoe spoons, creams, etc. It should be borne in mind that a large number of pairs in the cabinet will not fit, and therefore alternatives are needed to this option of using space. Saving space is achieved due to the openness of the structure. Several wide shelves (for example, 2-3) are able to accommodate much more on themselves than a closed piece of furniture. Moreover, the shoes will be constantly available, it will become easier to take, prepare, organize. If the remaining places are more than enough, you can use a closed cabinet. It should be decorated with decorative color and various elements.
Galoshnitsa
They are open and closed. The main advantage of the first type is ventilation: shoes are well ventilated and dries quickly. Its major drawback is a large amount of gathering dust: cleaning will be frequent and difficult. Closed are made in the form of cabinets and cabinets. Ventilation openings (usually on the back wall) may be present. Such options are usually chosen. The inner surface is made, including from moisture-resistant material, which allows you to put there dry shoes. Some galoshnits equip drying with ultraviolet light to destroy microbes that adversely affect the smell of products. To keep your shoes in the desired shape, it is better to choose a galoshnits with adjustable height shelves. The narrow version of the furniture will perfectly fit into the interior of a close corridor.
Obuvnitsa rack
In the racks, shoes can be mounted vertically, clinging to special tongues. Other options are lattice surfaces. Some vertical furniture for shoes reminds of large wide shelves. The vast majority of racks are open - it is much more convenient to use them. Private options are justified if they are narrow and high. Racks - high construction, sometimes from floor to ceiling. They are designed to organize the storage of large quantities of shoes. Shoe rack can also be rotating. Despite its large size, this element of the interior has several drawbacks. First, the design is unstable. Secondly, it has large dimensions and will be superfluous in small hallways. Another worth noting is the difficulty in cleaning the upper tiers. Dust is more difficult to wipe there, so it can accumulate for a long time.
The main types of installation shoes
Cabinet type are freestanding models. Their key advantage is mobility. Obuvnitsy can be transferred between different places and rooms, when there is such a need. If such constructions of the house are absent in principle, this will eventually cause great inconvenience. The built-in version is divided into several subspecies. The main ones are: structures, built into other furniture, and located in a niche on the wall. The second type of installation saves space. The corresponding models are made mainly under the order. Built-in shoe coasters hide some flaws: irregularities, unused items. Rotating type of installation involves the location of the compartments around the circumference of the rotating drum. This is a very practical option that has found its admirers. Except in free designs, it is often used in cabinets, having different configurations and sizes.
Manufacturing materials
The application found the most popular materials:
- tree;
- plastic;
- metal;
- Hardboard;
- glass.
In demand and woven products. As for the tree, it will suit lovers of classic interior. Wood products should be treated with protective agents so that moisture does not spoil them and does not lead to the formation of fungus. Plastic shoe holders are inexpensive, lightweight, resistant to external influences. However, these products are inferior in appearance to well-treated wood. Metal options are made with an open configuration. They are durable, but not practical in all. DSP is a convenient material for processing, which allows you to create products of various types and purposes. With proper treatment and care it looks very presentable. Glass shoe holders are represented by impact-resistant open structures, as well as closed models, where glass plays the role of a facade. Wicker furniture for shoes emphasize the interior, made in the same manner. It also has natural ventilation.
Step-by-step master class for the manufacture of shoes
Production takes place in several stages:
- Selection and purchase of materials, tools.
- Creating a schema of parts and their manufacture.
- Kromkovanie.
- Assembly of a shoemaker and installation of accessories.
The first thing selected material. It is necessary to proceed from its strength, as well as ease of operation. Usually it is required to combine several types of materials for the facade, the frame and the back of the drawer. As for the toolkit, several options will work for several tasks at once, so you should decide in advance which of them is better. After preparing the tools, it is the turn to create a drawing. Having a complete set of finished parts eases the task to a minimum. But, as a rule, it is necessary to independently determine the size and proportions. After that, all elements are cut out and their edging begins. Paper facing can be done independently. The assembly itself is a relatively simple process. For installation of the box it is recommended to use mini-fixes. At the end, internal elements and fittings are installed.
Necessary tools and materials
Preference is better to give materials from wood. In this regard, in the course of work on creating a petal shoemaker, you will need a drill for confirmats, bits for screws and confirmats, a square, a tape measure, a screwdriver, a screwdriver and an awl. Suitable materials are softwood and plywood / chipboard / MDF / MDF. Porous coniferous wood will absorb excess moisture. If the shoes are dried out well before being placed in the cabinet, the chipboard of classes E0, E1, E2 or MDF will also fit in the role of the material. Plywood - one of the most reliable materials for the manufacture of furniture structures, but at the same time - requiring additional processing. MDF is also durable, and its structure facilitates drilling and assembly. But if you make furniture entirely out of it, the weight will be too great and the price will be too. For this reason, the hull is mounted from chipboard, and from MDF it is permissible to assemble only the facade.
If plastic is chosen instead of natural materials - additional holes should be provided!
Drawing and workpiece details
First determined with the dimensions of the furniture. On the drawing you need to put the height, width and depth of the product. It should also show the number of sections, their size and location, taking into account the thickness of chipboard parts. According to the sketch, you will need to make a map of cutting, where all elements are visible in the required sizes. Among the parts for assembling the cabinet are 16-mm chipboard parts for the roof and bottom. The internal stand and sidewalls are made of chipboard of the same thickness (only 3 pieces are needed) and coincide in width with the previous sheets. Internal horizontal shelves are created from 2 parts: their thickness and width should have the same meaning as in the above cases (16 mm and 250 mm). For the facade you need four more pieces of 16-mm chipboard. Still need internal partitions in 3 different sizes (4 pieces for all dimensions). In this case, chipboard thickness of 10 mm is required. The back wall is made of one sheet of fiberboard thickness of 3 mm.
Sputtering details
At home facing available paper edge. For plastic, you will need a machine and a special glue. The latter will need to be heated to high temperatures for good adhesion between the edge and the part. Visible elements should be trimmed with a thick PVC edge (about 2 mm). So you will need to revet the roof, facades, sidewalls and bottom. Inside the shoebox there will be partitions and various parts. They also need to glue the edge of PVC. However, in this case, the thickness of the lining should be 4 times less (0.5 mm). If it was decided to send the details to the masters for appropriate processing, then you will also need to transfer the detailing with precise instructions about the lining. The following components are provided for the shoebox: thrust bearings (6 pcs.), Handles (4 pcs.), 4 sets of galoshnits. Plastic sandwiches for the sides are needed in an amount of 2 pieces 192 × 287 × 85 × 16 mm for each set.
Assembly of shoemaker and installation of accessories
Initially going to frame. It includes the roof, bottom and two sides. You can collect the box on confirmatics. However, then the stubs will be visible, therefore, as an alternative, it is permissible to use furniture metal corners. Some recommend using minifixes for this purpose; you will need to know how to install the eccentric tie. After mounting the box you need to install the internal elements. It is easier to fasten them to the bottom and sides with confirmatics, and between themselves and the roof - corners. The assembly of the frame ends with the installation of the rear surface. When installing it at hand, you must have a geometric shape with the same diagonals. Next is the turn of the front and accessories. For the most accurate installation of the facade used double-sided tape. After pasting the edge, 2 mm will be added to each side of the facade. Then, after installing the front side with all the gaps, fittings are mounted. First handles (after marking the holes), and then the thrust bearings.
Features of the assembly of shelving and storage for shoes
The assembly rules do not differ much from other cases, but for shoes it is necessary to provide for optimal section sizes. If shelves are made, then in any case it will not be possible to fill them to the top. And if the modules are planned square - it is desirable that large shoes fit there at least three levels. From the edges of the surface to the shoes, on both sides, a total of 10 cm should remain so that nothing falls. The rest of the design process is no different from other situations. It should be carried out in a well-lit room. First, a drawing is needed, and then holes for fasteners are drilled through it. Then the metal corners are fixed. It is advisable to make drawers without ordinary drawers, and with special folding doors (up, down, to the side). Accordingly, the drawing guides will be different. All cabinets / shelves must be able to withstand a large amount of footwear.
Obuvnitsa from polypropylene pipes
Pipes from this material are:
- Narrow (including plumbing);
- Wide (more than 20 cm in diameter).
This material is used to create various original items - chairs, tables, shelves, etc. Obuvnitsy made from both types of pipes. In the case of a narrow material, you can get an open view of a square or horizontal configuration. There is no special point in making such a product, because time and effort will be spent a lot, and there will be little practical convenience. Everything is different with wide pipes (from 20-25 cm in diameter). In each of them fit at least a few pairs. Preparing the material is also not difficult, because all that is needed is to cut the pipes to the desired length. If their appearance is flawed or too different, then the blank will need to be painted. Place the pipe in several ways - the pyramid, the same rows and in the form of a cut diamond. In the role of attachment using special ropes or glue.
About dryers and drying shoes
Dryer for shoes is a small device for placement in the inner part of the shoe. It is designed not only to prepare wet shoes for use, but also to eliminate bacteria that can provoke fungal diseases. Ultraviolet dryers are also provided for this purpose. They work on electricity, connected to the network with a cord. The heating temperature reaches 60 ° C, and in some modifications - 90 ° C. The performance indicator in the above situations will be 5-12 watts. In the past, dryers were almost only metal, but nowadays they are made of ceramic or hiding in a plastic shell. Drying shoes can be produced by other methods. It is enough to equip the ventilation: not to close the doors completely, to select furniture with "breathing" holes. You should also avoid placing dry boots near dry ones.
To protect specific shoes from the harmful effects of moisture from the outside, you can use water-repellent compounds!
Conclusion
Обувь часто размещается в случайном порядке и неподходящих для этого местах. When choosing and preparing shoes, the mess is especially inconvenient: sometimes it is difficult to find a second shoe, sometimes the whole pair is lost. An additional piece of furniture if it does not solve the problem entirely, then at least it will allow to free some places. The market sells a variety of models of shoeboxes, ranging from cabinets and bollards to racks and shelves with brackets for shoes or without them. You can make the furniture yourself. Pipes made of polypropylene - an original and practical option that allows you to create shoemakers of various sizes and shapes. But it is possible to go in a more traditional way: purchase wood or recycled sheets, create a sketch of a petal stand, cut out all the elements and, after their preparation, assemble the box together with the accessories.
