CREATE A 2 IN 1 FURNITURE: TV CABINET AND HAIRDRESSER

A piece of furniture can have several functions, especially in a room that is not very large. Kelly, from the instagram account@my_deco31 imagined a TV cabinet and a dressing table via a single cabinet thanks to infinite flat iron foot. With 3 feet and an addition of crossbar, on one side there is storage and room for a TV and on the other side, a relaxation and beauty area under which you can slide a seat. While keeping an overall harmony, the result leads to 2 distinct spaces with a specific utility by optimizing this bedroom with storage space.

EQUIPMENT

• 2 boards 24 cm wide and 115 cm
• 2 black infinity flat feet 84 cm high and 49.5 cm deep. The first space is 24 cm, the second 39, the last 19 cm
• 1 black infinity flat foot 84 cm high and 49.5 cm deep. The first space is 24cm and the second is 58.5cm
• 32 hinge screws 30 mm

DIY PROCESS

STEP 1

Make sure you have the right size boards :

• 4 boards 24 cm wide and 200 cm
• 2 boards 24 cm wide and 115 cm

Tips : You can find ready-made planks or raw planks. In this case, you will have to sand them and varnish them to protect them..

STEP 2

Position the longest boards on the ground and the feet on top to simulate the location infinite flat iron legs and make sure the spaces are suitable.

Here, it is important not to “tighten” the legs of the TV cabinet part too much, in order to leave enough room for the baskets to slide on the crossbars. While making sure that the television will find its place between the space of the 2 feet so as not to create a visual imbalance.

We choose to have 115 cm for the TV cabinet part and 85 cm for the dressing table part. You can mark the location of the central foot with a pencil if necessary.

STEP 3

Are you sure of the layout? The planned storage is coming in? So it's time to fix infinite flat iron feet . We start with the upper boards. You need 2 planks per floor, to position one next to the other in the direction of the width.

You will need to be accompanied by a second person to fix these first 2 boards, 200cm long and 24cm wide. A first person keeps the board straight and against the foot, the second comes to screw it over. We start with one of the outside feet, that is, we position the board edge to edge with the foot and on one end. Then we screw over it using the screwdriver and hinge screws , so the screws are visible.

STEP 4

Always helped by the second person who holds the board, we then screw the board to the second foot and then to the third, always using the screwdriver and the hinge screws.

The second foot is positioned 110 cm from the edge with respect to the first. The third foot, meanwhile, will be edge to edge with the end of the board.

Tips : Pay attention to the foot positioned in the center, make sure that it is a foot with 2 intermediate cross members.

STEP 5

These first steps are repeated for the second upper plank. We position it next to the one already screwed, the first person supports it while the second screws the board at the 3 feet with the screwdriver and the hinge screws.

STEP 6

We go to the middle floors, we start with the central floor.

We slide the 2 boards onto the crossbar and make sure that they are edge to edge on each side to the legs and at right angles to the 3 legs. This time, we screw, from below to secure the assembly, using the screwdriver and the hinge screws.

STEP 7

Last step, fixing the shortest boards, namely the 115cm long and 24cm wide one. We position the boards side by side and edge to edge in relation to the feet. They are also screwed from below using the screwdriver and the hinge screws.

All you have to do is slide storage baskets and drop your decoration to make this piece of furniture, a design and practical set without wasting space.
