Design of corner shelves on the wall. Corner shelf: types and photos of corner shelves

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 plastic or glass will become, as they have a greater number of 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 a rational option that is suitable for bedrooms, children's rooms 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 lead the LED backlight to it. 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

1. In the role of the main material, an ordinary board, which remains from the repair, is suitable. The width should be selected individually, based on the items that will be placed on it and the place where it will be installed.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. All elements should be cleaned with sandpaper to perfect smoothness.
6. 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.
7. For ease of fastening, the racks of the middle shelf are placed at the edges.
8. The remaining parts of the corner shelf are assembled in the same way.
9. 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. At the final 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.

AT 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 the most different materials that gather dust in a shed or garage.

Long gone are the days when handicraft furniture was considered the lot of very poor people. Each apartment or house had cabinets, walls, shelves and other furniture made according to a single model. What kind of design could we talk about with this approach?

Today it is easier to choose the right furniture, but it does not always correspond to the desire of the owner or the preferences of the hostess. In addition, it often happens that exactly what is needed and cannot be found, for example, a suitable hanging shelf. In this case, there are 2 options left: to order its production in the workshop, hoping that they understood you, and the product will be of good quality, or you can make shelves on the wall with your own hands, which will be a good and convenient addition to the intended design.

Types of wall shelves

Thanks to a modern universal tool, a home craftsman can make almost any shelf, even in an apartment, not to mention working in his workshop. However, before taking up the tool, it is important to determine the type of shelf being designed. This will help the table, which describes design features wall shelves and their scope.

wall shelf type	Description
Classic	It is generally accepted that the classics are part of the ancient culture that has come down to us. It is also called the generally accepted pattern of style. Shelves made in a classic style are easy to manufacture and uncomplicated in shape, so they are easy to make at home.
	Corner shelves have a triangular shape and are attached to two walls at once. Most often, this is a small structure placed in the bathroom or in a room where other types of shelves will interfere. Also, corner shelves can be external.
Mounted	Hanging shelves are intended only for hanging on flat surface and are often above average. This arrangement allows you not to occupy the free space of the room.
floor standing	Floor shelves can not only stand on legs, but also, for greater stability, be attached to the wall, especially when they are narrow and high. Most often, these are shelves such as whatnots or vertically arranged modes.
	The word modus is often used to refer to varieties of forms. For this reason, shelves with different sizes of used parts began to be called modes. Sometimes it can resemble abstractionism. different kind modes can be found in one or another style of the room.
Exclusive	This is not a separate section, but a collection of everything extraordinary and non-standard. You can meet shelves from old suitcases, an obsolete TV, and even water pipes. There is no limit to the imagination.

Wooden shelves on the wall

Wood is an excellent material, as a shelf made from it will turn out to be attractive, solid, ergonomic and practical. Although the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, as well as the emergence of new technologies and innovative materials on the market, have not made use natural wood less popular and in demand, yet among admirers of natural beauty and style, it is still in demand.

There are plenty of advantages of furniture made from natural solid wood, and the point is not only in an attractive appearance, but also in high performance, thanks to which wood has been used for many centuries both for construction purposes and for the manufacture of original interior items. Even without much experience in carpentry, you can make a beautiful wooden shelf. If you are a beginner, then it is best to start with this versatile building material, taking as a basis soft, inexpensive woods intended for making furniture.

Manufacturing

First of all, you need to think over the dimensions of the shelf being made and decide on the place where it will be located, only after that purchase boards. If the design will be assembled from the material at hand, then you will have to adapt to its dimensions.

Of course, you can not do without a tool. The minimum is a wood saw and a Phillips screwdriver. Of course, with such a set of tools, there is nothing to undertake the manufacture of a complex structure.

Video: the minimum set of tools for a beginner carpenter

To assemble something solid and beautiful, you will need:

Jigsaw or hand saw	It will be more convenient to work with a jigsaw, but if it is not available, then you can use a standard hacksaw for wood with a fine tooth. Using this tool, blanks for the future shelf will be cut out.
Sander or a set of skins of different grain sizes	What a grinder will do in 5 minutes, you will have to spend an hour manually. With the help of this tool, the blanks are sanded, and then the entire shelf.
Electric drill	If shelves are made of chipboard, then self-tapping screws or confirmations cannot be screwed into such parts without first drilling a hole for this fastener. AT wooden details you also need to drill holes for self-tapping screws.
Screwdriver or screwdrivers	Only if the shelf is small and uncomplicated, you can painlessly tighten a few self-tapping screws or screws with a screwdriver. If there are a lot of attachment points, then it will be very difficult to do it manually. It is not recommended to use an electric drill for these purposes, since it will not be possible to control the screwing force.
	In addition to the fastener itself, it is advisable to buy plugs to match the color of the shelf. It is important to know that, depending on the chosen fastener, the plugs are selected individually.
Varnish for wood	Varnishes for wood are different. Many people prefer to use alkyd varnishes with urethane group additives, as it dries quickly (up to 12 hours) and is very durable, which is important for a product that will be used frequently.
Medium size brush (40‒80 mm)	The shelf will need to be varnished. At home, this procedure can be performed with a brush. Since most wood varnishes are toxic and emit a strong odor, work must be done in a ventilated non-residential area.
square	With it, you can make all the corners even. If this tool is not already there, then you can check the correctness of the angles ceramic tiles. The accuracy won't be perfect, of course, but it's still better than nothing.
Manual frezer	Make a wooden shelf more beautiful manual router, with which you can create a variety of decorative patterns at the corners, at the ends and in the middle of the product.

After acquiring wood, it needs to be examined in order to have an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhow the finished shelf will look. The fact is that raw boards do not differ much from each other, but after applying the stain, dark places will appear more strongly than light places. If you can’t make sidewalls from one board, then pick up boards whose texture will be similar.

Consider the manufacture of a shelf using an example. Let's say we want a 3-cell wooden wall shelf that measures 100 cm wide and 40 cm high.

For the convenience of calculations, the depth of the product will not be calculated. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The length of the self-tapping screws is 40–50 mm.

So, we need to cut blanks of this length from the board:

• 50 cm - 2 pcs.
• 96 cm - 2 pcs.
• 26 cm - 2 pcs.

Now let's explain how we got such dimensions.

If everything is clear with sidewalls of 50 cm, then the length of the remaining parts must be calculated. For example, 2 horizontal parts are 96 cm long. There is nothing complicated here either. With a shelf width of 100 cm, subtract the thickness of the two boards used as side walls:

100-(2+2)=96 cm.

Similarly, we obtain the height of the jumpers (vertical 2 parts), with a height of the inner part of the shelf of 30 cm:

30-(2+2)=26 cm.

It goes without saying that all paired parts (in our case) must be the same size.

Assembling a wooden wall shelf

Each part must be processed with a grinder, only then it can be fastened with other parts into a single structure. Hands must be clean, because untreated wood is very easily soiled.

Let's return to our diagram, where you can see that the bottom board is slightly raised above the bottom level, which has 2 explanations: firstly, it makes the shelf more beautiful, and secondly, it protects the lower edge of the sidewalls from cracking when screwing in screws. Usually this indent is within 1 cm, but if necessary, it can be done more. For safety net in the place where the screw is screwed into lower part sidewalls must be pre-drilled with a thin drill holes. In our case, they will be at a height of 2 cm from the bottom edge of the sidewalls (1 cm indent + 1 cm to the middle of the thickness of the board to be screwed).

Now step by step about the assembly process.

• Raising the bottom shelf by 1 cm, the side parts are screwed to it one by one. It is necessary to ensure that when screwing in the screws, they are located straight.
• Turning the workpiece upside down, mark the position of future shelves. If the cell sizes are the same, then divide 96 cm by 3 (in our example, 3 cells). It will turn out 32 cm. We retreat from the sides by 32 cm and put on the board the points into which the self-tapping screws will be screwed (3 centimeters from the edge of the board). It is better not to draw a line, as it will be visible under a layer of varnish, but to put small marks on the ends of the board.
• In this position, jumpers are screwed to the bottom of the shelf.
• The shelf is turned over and after checking the vertical position of the jumpers, they are screwed on.
• Now it's the turn of attaching the sidewalls to the top crossbar.
• So that the shelf is even, and subsequently it does not warp, in the lower part, on the reverse side, you can fix the location of the parts with flat window corners. If the back wall is attached, then the corners are not needed.

• The assembled structure is painted with a stain, after which it dries, you can proceed to varnishing.
• The entire surface of the shelf must be cleaned of dust and dirt. After applying the first layer, you need to check if there are any villi in it. If there is, then you need to sand everything again with an abrasive skin to remove them. If the varnish is thick and does not lay down evenly, then it can be slightly diluted with a solvent recommended by the manufacturer.
• In total, you need to apply 3 layers of varnish, with a frequency of 12 to 48 hours. This interval depends on the type of varnish used and the temperature. environment. In any case, you need to wait for it to dry. Every time check the surface for the presence of bumps and grains of sand. If something is noticed, immediately grind with an abrasive sponge until the defect is removed. Then again you need to apply varnish.
• After the varnish has dried, it remains to fasten the hinges at the back, after which the shelf can be hung on the wall.

Making a corner wooden shelf

Corner shelves can be of various heights and have a different number of levels.

Video: Making a corner shelf

Consider the sequence of manufacturing a wooden corner shelf from slats 20 × 50 mm.

• After examining the slats, you need to choose the most even ones, with a minimum number of knots - 2 frames will be made of them, 40 × 70 cm in size. For their manufacture you will need:

- 4 parts 70 cm long;

- 6 pieces of 30 cm.

• Frame parts are preferably glued together with clamps.
• Now it's time to make the shelves. They can be made:

- type-setting, gluing several rails, from which the details of the desired shape are then cut out and edged with a curly rail from the outside;

- from a sheet of plywood;

- from laminated chipboard. In this case, the cut must be sanded and pasted over with a furniture edge or in some other way, at your discretion;

- from a fragment of old furniture, if the front part is even.

• The shelves are screwed to the frames and varnished.
• It remains to fasten the hinges and hang the finished shelf in its place.

For a corner shelf, a set of 2 hinges is best suited, as in the illustration. If you hang a shelf on a loop with a wide ear, then you can move the shelf along the wall and put on a second loop.

DIY book shelf

Despite the fact that electronic devices are replacing printed publications from a person's life, many people still carefully store books and magazines that are dear to their hearts, the storage location of which often leaves much to be desired. If this is the situation for you, then it will be useful to learn how to make bookshelves that would be functional and fit into the interior.

If you are not a specialist, then you should not immediately take on the manufacture of a complex structure. Next, we will look at the process of making a simple bookshelf from slats.

Stages of work

To work, you need a tool:

• screwdriver;
• electric drill;
• electric jigsaw or wood saw;
• roulette;
• construction corner.

Concerning Supplies, then you will need:

• slats 20 × 40 cm;
• self-tapping screws for wood 3.5 × 45 mm (based on 2 pcs. for one attachment point).

Now you can start making the shelf. First of all, you need to make "ladders" - side parts (and with a large length of the shelf, the middle ones too).

The dimensions of the shelf will depend on the size of the books on it will be stored. If the books are not large, then shelves 20 cm wide will be enough to accommodate them. The height of the cells is selected in such a way that it is convenient to take the book from the shelf. Also, the height of the cells at different levels may differ. As for the height of the shelf, this is a matter of personal preference, but it is important to consider that although this shelf will be attached to the wall, it is not designed to be suspended, so it will stand on a solid surface.

First, the slats are prepared, which will be used as racks, and the crossbars are already attached to them, for which holes are drilled along the edges of each plank with a thin drill.

Having screwed the cross member with one self-tapping screw, you need to check its position.

Having aligned the rail, it is fixed with a second self-tapping screw.

The assembled "ladders" are laid on the floor, and after checking the correctness of the angle, they begin to be fastened with slats, which are cut off according to the length of the structure.

Then the rest of the rails are attached.

The structure rises and is attached to the wall, after which the remaining rails used as shelves are fixed.

This shelf will hold a lot of books.

The assembled shelf is designed for a large number of books, but if you need a smaller design, then you should pay attention to the video instructions and photos of the products you like.

Shelves for flowers

You can often see when people decorate their homes with artificial flowers, but still nothing can replace the freshness of a natural beautiful plant. Many owners, trying to decorate the wall, let climbing plants, hang flowerpots from the ceiling or place them on shelves of their own design. The advantage of this approach is that it is possible to make something of your own, unique and fit into the interior of the room. Depending on the type of flowers available and their quantity, a shelf is constructed.

Of course, you immediately want to make something voluminous and beautiful, which is quite natural, but first you can try your hand at making a simple but neat shelf.

Manufacturing steps

We will need a board 120 × 25 mm with a length of at least 130 cm. It will be more convenient to sand the board while it is intact.

After that, one edge must be cut so that the corner is straight, and mark every 20 cm clearly at an angle of 90 °. A building corner will help with this, but if it is not there, then you can use any solid object, the corners of which are straight, for example, ceramic tiles.

When cutting a part, you need to hold the hacksaw at an angle relative to it. If the hacksaw is held straight, it will be difficult to make a straight cut.

To make a shelf, we need 6 parts of 20 cm each.

Every detail must be cleaned from all sides with sandpaper. The canvas used should not be coarse-grained, otherwise the wood may be scratched.

Since the screws will be twisted close to the edge of the board, in order for it not to split, holes must be drilled in these places with a thin drill.

The entire assembly process consists in fastening the parts with self-tapping screws. If PVA glue is available, then the joints must first be smeared with it, and, after giving the glue a minute to set, fasten the parts. When screwing in the screws, do not use excessive force so that the board does not split. It is enough that the head of the screw is flush with the board.

Since our shelf is wall-mounted, you need to fasten the fasteners to it.

Since the height of the shelves is small, and the design is not very durable, climbing or low plants in small pots can be placed on it.

Such a product can be used not only for flowers. So that the shelf does not get dirty, it is best to open it with varnish.

original shelves

If you want to diversify your interior, then comfortable, original and beautiful shelves can be made from various materials hanging them in your office or living room. They will help to conveniently arrange a lot of things and can give the rooms a more comfortable look. You can make unusual shelves on the wall from wood, glass, plywood, fiberboard, pieces of tin, and even from water pipes.

We can say with confidence that unusual shelves are the embodiment of originality and exclusivity. However, in everything you need to know the measure and understand that when designing a product, it is often necessary to maintain the style of the existing style. But now it has become fashionable to divide the room into zones. After looking at the photos in which they are embodied interesting ideas, you will take something as a basis, adding your zest.

Photos of original shelves

TV shelf

It often happens that in a small room, well, there is simply nowhere to put the TV. For example, a small kitchen is already crammed with furniture, it would seem, what kind of TV can we talk about. However, a shelf located in a corner or on a free wall can become a way out.

AT modern concept When TVs began to simply hang on the wall, a TV shelf is called a shelf located under the TV, on which a DVD player can stand. In one case or another, the shelf can be made at home. We will not dwell on simple shelves that can be placed under the TV, since we have already touched on the manufacture of such shelves in the article, but we will only consider the manufacture of one on which you can put the TV.

Let's start with the simplest - a plywood corner shelf attached to the wall. In our case, it will be installed near the window, and so that the curtain does not interfere, we will make a small recess for it on the left side. The corners of the workpiece need to be sanded, then all of it (or only the upper part) should be pasted over with self-adhesive tape with a pattern of your choice.

Fasteners must be screwed to the workpiece with self-tapping screws, through which it will be attached to the wall. It is necessary to pick up self-tapping screws, the length of which will be slightly less than the thickness of the plywood sheet from which the workpiece was cut. In our case, the front fastening elements are located below, and the rear ones are on top of the workpiece, but if nothing interferes with the bottom, then they can also be installed under the shelf.

Now you need to put the shelf at the required height and mark the attachment points on the wall. The shelf is removed to the side and holes are drilled in the marked places.

We insert dowels into the holes so that they do not stick out from the wall.

Now you can attach the shelf.

The shelf must be level and the fasteners must be well clamped.

Now you can install the TV, and bring the wires down through the gap left in the corner.

Such a shelf does not need additional finishing and is immediately ready for use for its intended purpose.

In this article, we made a general overview of wall shelves and gave an example of the manufacture of simple structures. If you want to see new ideas or need help, leave a comment at the end of the article.

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 of 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 used in the production of the wall corner shelves:

As you can see, there are many practical and original solutions for what material to choose for wall construction. 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! The design with the design of the outer corner requires an individual approach in the manufacture of 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 small shelves with a rounded edge occupies only a corner. Models that diverge along the walls to the sides look much more interesting. They can be symmetrical or have different sizes, complemented by side walls or remain minimalist. 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 is a functional solution for placing 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 ideas when belts or chains are used to fix shelves on the wall, supplemented anchor bolts.

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 for interior design.

Kitchen

A large number of small items that should be constantly at hand will fit perfectly on a compact wall structure. Wooden products are practical. 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 repeat the shape of the corner cabinet:

Hallway

Manifest creativity when decorating the interior, a corner shelf can be 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 spacious entrance hall floor structures look like 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, wood products 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 optimal solution to accommodate a large number 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. The laconic design is caused by special operating conditions. Regular contact with water or simply high humidity provokes rapid contamination of the surface. 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, they 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. In order to maintain an atmosphere of lightness in the interior, you should not place a large number of things on an open corner shelf so as not to create the effect of disorder or clutter.

Drywall constructions on the outer corners of the walls look extremely aesthetically pleasing. 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.
• Achieve aesthetic appearance in places of cuts, a special tape will help, which is used to process the edges 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 carving masters choose more complex manufacturing options that will amaze with their 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, you can assemble the shelf on the wall of the corner structure yourself.

The space in the corners quite often remains unused, despite the fact that in many modern houses the question is acute: “what to do with the constantly accumulating trifles?”.
