If you set a goal for yourself to create a sofa with your own hands was a unique thing that surprises the guests of your house, the idea of creating it becomes even more tempting.

A sofa is a type of furniture that can be found in almost every apartment. There are many varieties of this type of furniture - luxurious large sofas in living rooms and living rooms, small kitchen sofas, and a compact baby sofa can be installed in any room as an extra bed. So how to make a sofa yourself?

We will try to briefly outline what materials and what tools you might need to assemble the sofa with your own hands. To begin with, you should determine the design and size. Usually the sofa has a rectangular wooden frame, located on rollers or on legs. Inside such a frame, you can make room for small boxes for storing things, which is very convenient. To create a frame you will need a certain amount of wooden bars from hard rocks, it is desirable to cover them with stain or varnish. Firstly, it will increase the durability, and secondly, the tree treated in this way will preserve the texture and look stylish. To strengthen the frame, we recommend not only rely on metal fasteners, but also glue joints and joints with wood glue. This procedure will increase the reliability and prevent premature loosening during the use of hand-made furniture.

To create a comfortable, soft backrest and seat, you can use foam rubber, attaching it to the bed grid or to the worn out bottom of the old sofa. Also, as an option, sheets of foam rubber can be covered with a cloth, attached directly to the surface of the frame with glue, and the fabric secured with a construction stapler on the wooden parts of the sofa frame.

Another option, how to make furniture yourself, is the creation of covers for the backrest and seat. It will even be more convenient and practical, since it will allow you to erase them or change the look of the room, just by changing the covers of the sofa seats. Before putting foam in the covers, we recommend wrapping them with sintepon. That the packing does not fall out, we make zippers.

To prevent the displacement of the soft seats in the covers will help Velcro, for this it is necessary to fix one part on a wooden seat with glue or a construction stapler, the second one sewn to the bottom of the soft seat. On this sofa with their own hands can be considered complete, you can only install it in any room.

It is also worthwhile to pay attention to the fact that you will spend about ten thousand rubles for the whole work, while a ready solution will cost you several times more. Also, the sofa made by hand will become an unusual design decision, for example, you can make several variants of covers, and from the fabric of the same coloring curtains, lampshade and other elements of the interior of the room. In general, you should try by means of own creation of some furniture to amaze associates and visitors, and by that to self-actualize.
