We create sofas by our own hands

We are all used to buying the furniture we need in the store. Undoubtedly, the choice of models now simply amazes imagination. Even the most picky buyer will find the right option. But why not try to do something really exclusive? How about making a corner sofa? With your own hands, you can create original things that will give your home an indescribable charm.

Of course, if you have not previously collected anything more difficult than stools, then you will have to start with simple designs. Please be patient and proceed. Consider the design of your future product. This will determine its size. Detail sketch the sketch, display on it important details and design features. Making couches with your own hands, do not ignore the calculations. The proverb about the need for multiple measurement is just about this case. Otherwise, you will have to redo the already half-assembled product.

The carcass is usually made in the form of a rectangle. Inside, you can mount special compartments for boxes and laundry baskets. Provide in advance options for access to them. If this happens from above, the seats should open like lids. Sometimes it's easier to make such niches side by hanging the doors on them.

The drawing is ready, the measurements have been made, now the material is needed. Before you make your own sofas, acquire the necessary tool. Ready-made sets for working with wood are in every specialized store.

When buying a bar for assembling the sofa frame, pay attention to its quality. It should be dry, smooth and free from any defects. For the manufacture of the backrest and armrests, buy boards. For the treatment of wood, lacquer and stain will be needed. At the same time, take the foam rubber and the suitable fabric, which is covered with sofas. With your own hands, you can make and cushions or cushions.

When assembling the frame from the timber, watch for the reliability of fastening parts. Additionally, it is possible to glue the joints with glue so that they do not loosen. You do not want to be on the floor once.

Installing the backrest, adjust the angle. The seat and back should be softened. For this, pour foam or sintepon in the sofas. Glue it to the surfaces with your own hands, and then coat them with an upholstery cloth. The fabric is easiest to fasten with a special stapler. Next we sew the covers, pillows and decorate the finished piece of furniture.

Complicated? Fearfully? Then pre-practice on something old. Suit the pulling of the sofa with your own hands. Remove the obsolete upholstery. Appreciate the state of the "insides". Check for damage to the wooden frame. Broken boards should be replaced, the joints must be re-glued, the fastenings must be renewed. The spring mechanism is also subjected to restoration. To do this, you do not need to tighten the springs very much (literally by a half squeeze). On top of the mechanism is laid a layer of batting and a packing of sintepon or foam rubber. Then the decorative fabric is cut out, the sofa is reinforced. The upholstery is attached to the frame by brackets. When working with a furniture stapler, be careful.

Be creative, do not be afraid. Even the simplest design can be filed in unexpected light. Vintage decor, funny pillows, rollers instead of armrests - these details will turn your little work into a real miracle.
