The bedroom often gets cluttered with various objects. This may be because these objects should be in your bedroom, but limited storage space keeps these items from being put away. A solution to this is to install cabinets in your bedroom. The problem with cabinets is that they take away floor space. If you have hanging cabinets, however, you can have a place to store everything and not give up floor space. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Use the stud finder to find two wall studs in the area you would like to hang your cabinet. These should be about 16-inches apart. Mark their locations with the pencil.
2. Decide how high you want the bottom of your cabinet to be from the ground and measure that height from the floor. Mark this location with the pencil on one of the wall studs.
3. Place the piece of 1-by-3 on the wall so the top of it is at the mark where the bottom of your cabinet is supposed to be. Make sure this is level and screw it into the wall studs. This will provide your cabinet a level place to rest as you are installing it.
4. Place the cabinet on the 1-by-3 so the back of the cabinet is flush against the wall. Screw the cabinet to the wall through the back of the cabinet and into the wall studs. Use four screws per stud--two on the top and two on the bottom.
5. Remove the 1-by-3 and spackle any holes which might be in the wall. Cover the Spackle with paint.
