Then a quick and effective master class will help transform a standard rack into an original hanging cabinet Furniture from IKEA is very popular all over the world. This is not surprising when the products are easy to install, inexpensive and of decent quality. But there is always one factor that confuses many when buying IKEA products - this is the template. After all, every person wants his interior to be original, and not like a carbon copy. Therefore, such master classes are designed to solve this problem. And today we will consider how to create a unique hanging cabinet based on the BESTÅ rack costing 4,100 rubles.
You will need:
- glossy "BESTO TOFTA" rack, white, with doors;
- two overhead tires from the "BEST" series of silver;
- a wooden panel (in our case, an aspen one was selected) in the dimensions of the upper plane of the rack;
- stain liked the color (in our example, selected Golden oak / "Golden Oak");
- polyurethane gloss varnish;
- glue on cement base or glue on wood;
- Dry brush for applying stain and glue;
- fine sandpaper (can be in the form of a brush).
First, assemble the BESTÅ TOFTA shelving unit,follow the enclosed instructions from IKEA, but do not touch the doors, leaving them for later. Then choose a place on the wall, measure everything carefully and mark the fasteners. Having attached the overhead rails from the BESTÅ series with screws, you can hang the shelf on the wall, and only now it is time to mount the doors, thereby completing the assembly.
After making sure that the rack is firmly in place,wall, try on the wooden panel so that it exactly matches the dimensions of the upper surface of the shelf. If this is not the case, you should once again contact a qualified carpenter so that he can adjust everything to the dimensions perfectly. You should also slightly round off the sharp edges so that children do not accidentally bump into the hanging cabinet and hurt themselves. Now you can start painting the wooden panel with stain. Apply it in several layers to the surface and let it dry for 24 hours. When everything is dry, you need to treat the wood with polyurethane gloss varnish, which will not only make the surface smooth and shiny, but also give the material long-lasting protection. Apply the varnish in accordance with the instructions on the package, because the procedure may differ depending on the manufacturer.
Now we glue the wooden panel to the topthe surface of the rack. If using cement-based adhesive, again follow the instructions on the package. Once applied and pressed into place, carefully scrape away any excess around the edges. If using wood glue, since it expands as it dries, be prepared to hold the panel tightly for the required curing time.
Everything is ready, now this stylish andan original hand-made item is ready to add an exquisite geometric accent to any place in your interior. The modified "BESTO" rack will serve as a place to store anything, and you, as a true master, have created an original hanging cabinet with your own hands and can be proud of yourself.
