Sometimes it's the small details that make a big difference in the design and organization of our home. If you like being creative and your fingers are tingling at the thought of your next DIY project, then we have just the thing for you! In this article, Eva Brenner shows you step by step how to make a stylish shoe rack for the wall from fruit crates and a stylish coat rack from an old wooden ladder.
With just a few materials and a little craftsmanship, you can create individual pieces of furniture that are not only functional, but also add a personal touch to the hallway. Who says storage solutions have to be boring? Our favorite interior designer proves the opposite.
So grab your fruit crates, tools, spray unit and the color of your choice and get started. Perhaps the hallway will become your new favorite room in your own four walls after this campaign.
Saving the best for last? Not with this project. Even before the hanging shoe rack is attached to the wall, the fruit crates and drawer units are given a coat of paint. This can be done quickly and reliably with the easy-to-use WAGNER W 690 spray system.
The practical thing is that you can start spraying straight away without pretreating the wood. Make sure that you spray every corner and every wooden slat thoroughly so that you end up with an even color result. Don't forget your breathing mask and painter's fleece!

If the wall was previously white, the time when the fruit crates are drying could be a good time to bring some color into play. This can also be done quickly and evenly with the Wagner spray system.
Important: Mask off the moldings, door frames etc. well and cover the floor with plastic sheeting. Better safe than sorry!
Tip: There are no limits to your creativity when it comes to choosing colors. In front of a colored wall, light tones are very suitable for creating a contrast to the background. Eva Brenner has opted for a shade of white, but beige, light yellow or light gray will certainly look good too.
To harmonize the overall impression of the wardrobe and create additional storage space, a wooden ladder can also be attached to the wall as a wardrobe element for smaller items of clothing or accessories for creative shoe storage. It should be painted in the same color as the crates beforehand.

Once both the fruit crates and drawers and the wall have dried sufficiently after spraying, the creative part follows. The individual elements of the shoe rack can now be arranged on the wall and then attached using suitable plugs and screws.
Our tip: The shoe rack can be easily extended in a modular fashion if required.
Once all the boxes have found their place and are firmly screwed down, you can furnish and decorate to your heart's content. In addition to sandals, sneakers or boots, decorative objects such as vases, trays or even flowers also find their place. Whatever you like is allowed.

The paint sprayer makes it child's play to apply paint evenly and get into even the smallest cracks and corners. The end result is a smooth and even layer of paint. Brush marks often occur when using a brush.
