Pendant table on ropes with your own hands
Interior items suspended from the ceiling,create a feeling of weightlessness and lightness. There is no visual connection with the floor, no sense of grounding, only airborne flight! This technique is especially suitable for light interiors in a minimalist or Scandinavian style, for example, for a bedroom. A hanging table as a bedside table looks unusual and original.
The hanging table is attached with three ropes to a hook in the ceiling. And making it yourself is not difficult! In order to make a hanging table for the interior, you need:
- wooden plank;
- Grinder;
- spray-polyurethane;
- drill;
- felt;
- hot glue;
- screw;
- S-shaped hook.
Of course, if you work on yoursyour own project, then the materials can be modified, and the process itself can be simplified or complicated. So, take a board with an interesting texture or cut it yourself. Process uneven and rough surfaces with a sander. Drill three holes wide enough for the selected rope. One hole in the middle of the board on the side adjacent to the wall, the other two holes - on the sides, at an equal distance from the first. If desired, you can make four holes - two on each edge. Then the table will be suspended by four ropes. Cover the wood with several layers of polyurethane. Wait until the previous one dries before applying the next layer. Cut a strip of soft felt slightly narrower than the height of the board. Glue the strip of felt with hot glue to the side that will fit tightly to the wall. This way you will protect the wall covering from scratches and marks from the table.
Thread the ropes through the holes and tie secure knots under the board. Drill a hole in the ceiling, screw in a screw with a ring, and thread an S-shaped hook through it.
Tie the ropes together at the top, tie a strong knot with a loop and put it on the hook.
And it doesn’t matter what will be floating in the air – a vase of wild flowers or a volume of poetry, a laptop or a textbook, a table lamp or a photo album.
