Their first pieces for Covet have been the sofa seats and pallet shelves, which are custom made, to order, so you can have a bespoke up-cycled piece of furniture that fits perfectly into your house.
Looking forward to renovating some chest of drawers, and also some cane furniture (swoon!) the pair wanted to show us how easy it can be to make new and useful things for your home.
Here we are featuring their new project - a coat rack, and you can make one too!
To make this coat rack you will need:
2x pieces of fairly wide, flat wood. (We are using old bed slats!)
4x screws
doorknobs with screws (we have used 11)
4x rawlplugs
paint
a paintbrush
a drill
a screwdriver
a saw
1. Paint your pieces of wood whatever colour you want your coat rack to be. We just used some leftover white paint that was in the cupboard. You may need to do a few coats, and if you do, you'll need to let the paint dry in-between layers. We did 3 coats.
2. Lay the pieces out how you want the coat rack to look.
3. Draw along both of the edges of the top piece, to mark on to the bottom piece.
4. When you take the top piece off, the bottom piece will look something like this. These marks are where you need to saw this piece of wood.
5. Once you have sawed that plank, you can glue your pieces together to make a flat cross. When we made ours, we added a short coloured piece on top afterwards as a decorative feature.
6. Now you need to mark out where you'd like your "hooks" to go.
7. You need to drill holes in these points...
8. Then poke the back screw bit in...
9. Then you can screw the fronts on...
10. Drill holes in the wall where you want the rack to go, and pop the rawlplugs in. Then screw the coat rack into place!
Now you can have a go at this yourself! We didn't measure anything out on ours as we didn't want it to be too symmetrical or perfect. We loved the idea of just whipping this together too, and it is a very fast project to do.
Though if you don't want to make this yourself, get in touch via email, and we can make a custom order for you. (Email us at hello.covetinteriors [@] gmail.com)
