Guide For Getting New Furniture Made - Part 2

By: cdmohatta

This is continued from part one of this article series. Please read that before you read this article.

Wardrobes: Get a bigger wardrobe designed than the one you have right now. You may buy more clothes in future and everything should fit in there. A 3-door wardrobe should be good enough. Keep enough shelves for all your accessories.

Shoe racks: Keep the shoe rack thin but tall so that you can fit in more shoes that way. Make the rack with the future in mind. You can never be short of new shoes.

Front door: Make the front door as classy as possible. After all it is the entry to your home. Use the best materials possible and a unique design. You can use glass, stone, wood to design your dream door.

Changing your bedroom door: First of all decide how many doors you wish to purchase and then make a list of all the things your carpenter will require. Lets just talk about the requirements of one bedroom door. You can then simply multiply the number of things required. You will need a wooden door of thickness 1.25 or 1.5 inch. The wooden door could be of pine wood, a block of plywood, etc. Doors usually come in sizes of 2.5 feet x 7 feet or 3 feet x 7 feet. First check what size you need and then note down your requirement.

You have the option of putting laminate sheets also called as mica sheets on both sides of your door. These days, there are a variety of laminates available which can help you complete your work very easily. Laminates which look like wood look best. Though you also get colorful laminates with red, blue, yellow, green etc., these will look nice only in children's rooms. Purchase two laminate sheets, slightly bigger than your door size, if you plan to go with this option. You will require synthetic resin adhesive (at least 1-2 pounds for one door) for sticking the laminate sheets. If you plan to go with veneer, select the wood type you want for your veneer. Available ones include oak, teak, bamboo, rosewood, mahogany, etc. Choose what suits your taste. You will need two veneer sheets slightly bigger than your door size. Choose a natural polish for your veneer. There are different types of polishing stuff available. Go with the one that is water-proof and is long lasting. Three coats of polish will be required.

Choose three 4-inch brass hinges with bigger gauges so that they hold your door properly. Buy a good quality locking system, preferably of brass. If you require an additional bolt with latch, get the same too. Now, that you have all the right things, just watch your carpenter do the magic of putting the door together.

Keep browsing as many interior design magazines as you can because they really give a very good idea about what you can expect and what's good in the market. Just be patient and you will get the right results.

Wardrobes: Get a bigger wardrobe designed than the one you have right now. You may buy more clothes in future and everything should fit in there. A 3-door wardrobe should be good enough. Keep enough shelves for all your accessories.
