Hall Tree Projects Ideas for All Skill Levels

Oh my! I have made so many hall tree projects! Recently, Kaye left a comment saying she would love to see all of the hall trees I've made. Well, doesn't that sound like a great idea?

Be gentle with me. Some of these are from the very early days, and the pictures aren't the greatest.

The easiest way to make hall tree projects is to marry a door with some other sort of horizontal surface--a table, nightstand or something similar. It's been awhile since I've made one, but I have several doors available, so don't be surprised it you see one later this Spring or Summer.

Hall Tree Bench

First up , we have this one with a bench. Well, actually it was a small nightstand of some sort. In this post I show you a way to fill the doorknob hole.

A Door Plus a Sewing Cabinet

For this project, I beefed up a plain hollow core door and added a sewing cabinet! You will probably learn a lot of tips and tidbits from each of the hall tree projects.

Louvered Door Shelf

Nearly any door will make a great shelf or hall tree. For this project, I used a louvered door and saloon style doors.

Easy Hall Tree

We'll call this an easy entry way project because you can see the components look like they are a perfect match. It was a fun time at a nearby ReStore Artisan Workshop.

From the Archives

So, this is from the way back when days. Since I made this green monster, I've learned a lot! But It gives you an idea of how you can add arms if you choose.

Simple Narrow Door Hall Tree

The pictures are awful, but I felt it was worthy of sharing this narrow door project. Honestly, I'd love to make another one similar to this.

Pretty Blue Entry Table

If you have spare table legs, you could make something like this pretty blue entry table. Are you noticing a commonality on all of these hall tree projects? It's all about trimming out the TOP of the door.

How to Design Hall Tree Projects

This gives you a peek inside of how my brain works while designing hall tree projects. I never sketch anything on a pad, I just grab random things from my mega stash of junk and start laying it out. You can follow along step by step as I build this entry way table.

Bi-Fold Doors Plus a Dresser

Although I staged this as a coffee station I wanted to show you that you can use a cut down dresser and even a set of bi-fold doors! Remember, it's ALL ABOUT THE TRIM!

Green Door Bookshelf

What do you think? Can we call this a hall tree project? For the original post, I referred to it as a door bookshelf, because it was a custom piece for a lady with a lot of books.

Before you leave, I want to share a couple of hall tree projects from my friend Debbie!
