Banquette refers to the decorative elements of furniture to decorate any room. It is multifunctional: it can be used as a seat, as an element of decor or as a means of storing items. In the salons of furniture there are numerous models of banquets in different colors and styles. However, it is not necessary to go to the salon to purchase this decorative element in the hallway. It can be done by yourself. We will tell you how to do it next.
How to make a banquet in the hallway
A bench made by hand has many advantages. So, you can independently choose a shape with size and color. At the same time, it can become unique and unlike factory products and it can be made from outdated furniture, for example, a stool or a coffee table.
You can make a banquet for the hall with your own hands based on assembly instructions, your own experience, knowledge of working with tools and imagination.
What is required for this
To create a unique creation and decorate the hallway, you should work:
- with a drill;
- a screwdriver;
- furniture stippler;
- sewing machine;
- a screwdriver;
- emery paper;
- furniture varnish.
It will also require fabric materials, a headset, wood or iron for the basis of the product, knowledge and experience with the above tools, a little imagination and following the assembly instructions.
Which material to choose
The bench is forged, wooden, collapsible, fabric, leather and leatherette. It can also be made with drawers and with a back. We will analyze each material.
Wrought iron bench fits the Empire and Baroque interior. Wooden products can be made with drawers and cabinets. The folding bench is functional, with an ordinary design and quick disassembly. Fabric banquette can be made of silk, cotton and linen. It is suitable for any interior style. A leather product is not suitable for every interior and looks expensive. It is expensive and difficult to care for. A leatherette product does not look as expensive as the previous one and has a short life, but it fits any type of interior.
A pouf with a back will create coziness. It can be brightened with any soft pillows. A pouf with drawers is useful: it can save space.
Everyone can make a banquet from any material. It is better for novice inventors to stop on a tree rather than iron because of the simplicity of working with it. In addition, to work with the tree does not need any special skills with experience. To make a frame, you need to take sheets of chipboard or plywood. During the construction of the product on the legs - wood beams. You can buy them ready-made or build them yourself.
Attention! To fix the products, you should take furniture corners, screws and glue. For filling, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer or any other wear-resistant and durable synthetic fabric may be needed.
Drawings and schemes
To get started, you will need to create a diagram of the future product. It will be required to determine the parameters of the bench and, in order to compare them with the volume of the room. When choosing material, you need to choose a simple material. For a pouf with a back or a drawer, it will take more time, therefore the novice master should assemble a simpler design. To create a scheme for a future product, it is required to draw a sketch drawing and note in it the dimensions of the future model. Wooden models need to be cut with an electric jigsaw, and uneven edges should be rubbed with sandpaper. After that, everything will need to be varnished.
Bench in the hallway yourself: step by step instructions
For the proper design of the banquet, the novice master is better to resort to the instructions: First, you need to design a plywood and chipboard round or square seat without corners. Angles to make will not be easy for a beginner. If legs are required for the pouf, then on the bottom of the structure they are attached with corners, screws and a screwdriver. When creating a model based on the armrests, they are cut out well in advance of the assembly of the pins. They must contain special end openings.
You can design carved legs with a manual milling cutter. Soft foam will make the right shape and fasteners at the bottom of the product. It is better to stick burlap on the bottom of the model first, and then connect the burlap to the foam pillow. To upholst a pouf, it is required to make a model in advance by throwing a fabric on the model and securing it with brackets.
The formation of parts with assembly should be carried out in stages, since assembly is a complex and responsible work. In order to avoid damage to the pouf, the rules must be observed. For example, plywood needs to be drilled with screws with a drill. The lid needs to be done evenly over the body area, so that then it is not difficult to do the puff casing.
The assembly of the frame must begin with the assembly of the workbench from the workpieces and connecting them using self-tapping screws. A pre-created bottom is attached to the frame base. Then, using the stain, the color of the structure is made from the inside.
The case needs to be done more than the base of the puff, about a few centimeters. In this case, the workpieces should be combined and varnished. To mount the cover, it is necessary to saw off 5 cm of the loop less than the case sides. This is necessary so that the fabric does not break when screeding. The loop is fixed on the blank fabric, and then attached to the sides of the pouf. To make it convenient to perform these actions, the bench must be turned upside down.
Sheathing is done from the top. To do this, create the required shape of the upholstery and fix it with glue on the outside of the cover. If there is no top in the pouf, then foam rubber or other upholstery is attached on top of it. Then the sides are trimmed with this material. At the end, the product, if desired, is decorated with decorative elements, for example, tassels, rhinestones, carriage or fabric bow.
Attention! In the absence of a clear pattern for creating a banquette, you need to use ready-made patterns of the model and master classes. You need to calculate the capacity of the banquet in advance. For one person, 45 cm by 50 cm will be required. More detailed information can be found in the photo workshops from professional masters.
In the case of creating a banquette with a large number of details, you should create a pattern by which to further form a decorative element of the interior.
Making a bench is easy. Making it to your taste everyone will do. The main thing is to do everything according to the scheme and taking into account all the advice from more experienced craftsmen, preferring simple fabrics, cuts, designs and other materials.
