Hanger as part of the interior
The main thing in any home is a spacious closet. It comes together blouses and dresses, pants and skirts, gloves and scarves, coats and raincoats.
A good housewife has every thing in its place. The clothes in the closet are different. And the hangers for her should also be different.
How to make a hanger with your own hands? Believe me, this is easy and even fun. Rummage in a trunk with long forgotten grandmother's dresses. You will find amazing things there.
The old coat hanger (the so-called trempels) can be restored, and they will turn into the main decoration of your closet.
In the old days, clothes hanger was wooden. Using one of the decor techniques, you can give the old thing a new life. And what a life ... Such beauty would like to be hung on the wall, and not in the closet - and let everyone admire it.
You can transform a clothes hanger with the help of decoupage, unusual coloring or application.
Soft shoulders are very convenient to use. Things on them keep their shape and do not slip off. It is necessary to wrap ordinary trempels with thin foam rubber, and then sheathe with a nice cloth. Beads and ribbons will give the new thing a special charm.
But to decorate your home with a hanger from a tree of your own production is more difficult. Woodwork requires special skill. And special tools are needed here.
Wooden wall hanger
Wall hanger - a simple design. However, its manufacture should be approached with all seriousness - then it will serve you for a long time.
The main guarantee of success is strong, dry wood without cracks. A cut of a bar or a board is perfect. The length of the workpiece depends on the length of the future coat rack. Before starting work, it would be nice to treat the wood with an antiseptic.
The panel mounts are located on the board in one, two or three rows as desired.
Such a hanger is the place behind the door in the bedroom, as well as in the bathroom, pantry or bathhouse.
Accuracy is brought up from childhood. Equip a nursery with a simple hanger. And if it is decorated with images of the heroes of your favorite cartoons, the child will be happy to watch their clothes.
Note!
Do not fasten the hanger directly to the plastered wall. Otherwise, you risk whitening your clothes. And a jacket or a raincoat soaked in the rain will leave ugly spots on the surface of the wall. To avoid this, under the hanger you need to attach a sheet of plywood, thick paper or polyethylene.
Panels for hooks can be given any shape - waves, ovals, hearts, suns, etc.
Attention! The use of untreated wood is fraught with a large number of splinters. Remember to polish the hanger panel.
For fastenings, use empty spools of thread or finished hooks of any shape.
And if you turn on creativity, dried branches or plant roots will be used. Trim them, remove the bark, sand, coat with varnish - here you have the hooks. You will definitely not find such in the store.
A simple wall hanger can be made from ordinary wooden planks. Nail them to the wall in parallel - this is the basis for fastenings, and protection of clothing from whitewashing, and decoration of the interior.
Note!
Of course, you can’t make such a hanger in half an hour. But the end result of your labors will be a real hanger. It remains only to attach the shelf for storing hats at the top.
Do-it-yourself hanger in the hallway
A good hallway hanger should be durable, beautiful, and at the same time roomy. In a limited hallway space, outerwear, shoes, and numerous accessories should fit.
This must not be forgotten when designing the hanger. The compartments and shelves at the hanger in the hallway should be enough to accommodate everything you need.
Attention! When marking, consider the size of the wall on which you place the hanger.
A hanger of this size is quite suitable for a standard apartment: width - about 1 meter, height - a little more than the level of the head. Mounts for clothes are placed on the panel in 2-3 rows.
Note!
A shelf for hats is needed at the top of the hanger. Strength of the structure will give the strap.
They are mounted on the sides of the structure, connecting the shelf with the panel at an angle of 45 degrees. It is best to fix the hanger on the wall using dowels.
DIY hanger-coat hanger
Making hanger hangers with your own hands is very simple. There are many ways to make such hangers. You will need: a large cross-sectional wire, trimmed branches of a suitable shape, small plastic bottles worn on a wire base, a metal bar or plate bent at the right angle.
Wrap the base of the coat hanger with thin foam rubber or other similar material. Then choose the right fabric for the color and sew the base. Give the resulting cute little thing a charm with ribbons, beads or lace.
If the hanger is designed for the baby - decorate it with a funny face or applique. Pick up the hook - and hang it in the closet.
Floor hanger rack
To solve the problem of placing clothes in spacious rooms, you can use floor racks. Floor hangers are usually used in reception rooms of various institutions.
These interior items are made of metal pipes. The floor hanger is a universal thing. You can place almost anything on it. Except, of course, shoes.
The disadvantage of pipe hangers is its instability. If things are unevenly placed on it, it may fall.
But the floor hanger can always be rearranged in the right place or even hidden in the pantry.
In residential premises, this type of hangers is rarely used: it takes up a lot of space and is dangerous for children. Nevertheless, a floor hanger rack can be made independently. As the material usually used:
- for support - a cross of an artificial spruce, plastic pipe couplings, a rotary mechanism of a broken rotating chair;
- for a rack - trimming plastic or metal pipes, a trunk of a small tree, a shovel handle, a tripod from the camera, a “foot” of a floor lamp and other suitable parts.
Attention! The main thing in the floor hanger is its stability.
Unusual homemade hangers
A hanger can be made absolutely from any material or object. Sounds incredible? Do not believe?
See for yourself:
- Scraps of steel wire, tube or corner are perfect for work. Welding can be used to connect parts. And if the metal is flexible and soft enough - just bend it with your hands. The choice of form is yours.
- The design of plastic pipes will appeal to fans of high-tech style.
- If you enjoy working with wood, this idea is for you. From the remnants of wood of any thickness, you can make a practical and multifunctional hanger for the hallway.
- The simplest hanger can be twisted from wire. Attach the clips on the edges of the resulting hanger - now you have a handy little thing to put on skirts and trousers. Experiment with the shape of the hanger - this can be the highlight of your product.
- The idea of a “hunting” life is the good old deer or elk horns. Attached to a suitable base, can become a wall or floor hanger.
- It's no secret that many of us (especially men) prefer an ordinary chair to a spacious closet.
Often shirts, jackets and even trousers are hung on the back of a chair. Why not turn the back of the chair into the original hanger for those shirts and jackets? On such a design, the entire costume will easily fit.
For the storage of belts, belts, ties, homemade hangers in the form of rings are quite suitable.
Hanger as a home decoration
Before you start making or decorating hangers, think about what style prevails in the interior of your room or hallway. After all, a new thing should ideally fit into an existing interior. Here are some examples:
- Soft trempels, fitted with brightly colored linen or knitted fabric, will perfectly fit into a bedroom in a country style.
- Bright shoulders with a "doll" design are suitable for the room of a teenage girl in the style of Barbie.
- A luxurious hanger with twisted elements will become a decoration of a boudoir in an oriental or palace style.
- A wooden hanger with carved patterns will emphasize the strict style of the office or hallway in a classic style.
- Antique, artificially aged or skillfully restored shoulders will add a special charm to the retro style room.
- In the bedroom of a glamorous lady, a hanger decorated with rhinestones, beads, bows and other shiny little things will harmoniously look.
- Structures made of metal or plastic parts, simple and unpretentious in shape, will decorate the room in the techno or high-tech style.
- Hangers that are simple in form and concise in design will complement the minimalist interior.
