Are you looking for a space-saving storage solution that adds a touch of style to your home decor? This DIY hanging wall shelf with drawers project is perfect for you! Not only does it provide ample storage space, but it also elevates your room's aesthetics. Let's get started!
Step 1: Gathering Your Materials
Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary materials and tools. This will make the construction process smoother and more efficient. Wood planks (dimensions depending on your desired shelf size and number of drawers) Plywood (for drawer bottoms and backs) Wood screws Wood glue Drawer pulls/knobs Sandpaper Wood stain or paint (optional) Measuring tape Pencil Saw (hand saw or power saw) Drill Clamps Safety glasses
Step 2: Cutting the Wood Pieces
Carefully measure and cut the wood planks according to your design. This includes the shelf base, sides, top, and drawer fronts. Ensure accurate cuts for a professional finish. Shelf Base: Cut a plank to your desired shelf length and width. Shelf Sides: Cut two planks to the desired height of your shelf. Shelf Top: Cut a plank to match the length and width of the base. Drawer Fronts: Cut pieces to the desired size for the front of each drawer. Drawer Sides, Back, and Bottom: Determine the dimensions for the sides, back, and bottom of each drawer based on the drawer opening size. Subtract the thickness of the wood you're using for the sides/back from the opening dimensions.
Step 3: Assembling the Shelf Frame
Begin by assembling the main frame of the shelf. Apply wood glue to the edges of the side planks. Attach the side planks to the shelf base, ensuring they are aligned and flush. Use clamps to hold the pieces together while the glue dries. Once the glue is dry, reinforce the joints with wood screws. Attach the shelf top to the side planks, using glue and screws, ensuring it is flush with the sides.
Step 4: Building the Drawers
Now it's time to construct the drawers. Assemble the drawer sides, back, and front using wood glue and screws. Ensure the drawer is square during assembly. Attach the plywood bottom to the assembled drawer box using glue and small nails or staples. Repeat the process for each drawer.
Step 5: Installing the Drawer Fronts
Attach the drawer fronts to the drawer boxes. Carefully align the drawer front with the drawer box. Use clamps to hold the drawer front in place. Attach the drawer front to the drawer box using screws from the inside.
Step 6: Sanding and Finishing
Prepare the shelf and drawers for the final finish. Sand all surfaces of the shelf and drawers with sandpaper to create a smooth finish. Wipe away any sanding dust. Apply wood stain or paint according to your preference. Allow it to dry completely. Apply a clear coat sealant for added protection (optional).
Step 7: Adding Drawer Pulls/Knobs
Install the drawer pulls or knobs to each drawer front. Mark the desired location for the drawer pulls. Drill holes for the screws, if necessary. Attach the drawer pulls using screws.
Step 8: Mounting the Shelf
Determine the best way to mount your shelf to the wall. Consider the weight it will be holding. Locate wall studs for secure mounting. Pre-drill holes through the back of the shelf frame to align with the wall studs. Use appropriate screws to attach the shelf securely to the wall. For added support, consider using heavy-duty wall anchors if you can't directly hit studs.
