A Beautiful Shelving Unit That Inspires

Get inspired by this beautiful DIY project by Sandra. She designed and built a beautiful black shelving unit herself. The unit is not only large and impressive, but also stylish and functional.

The Function of the Compartment Cabinet

This shelving unit is the perfect focal point in the living room. With its many storage compartments, it is ideal for displaying books, decorations and even as a play area for the children. Thanks to the various compartments, there is a perfect place for every item.

Construction and Design

The cabinet is completely constructed from MDF Primed boards, finished with a satin black lacquer from Sikkens, which gives it a chic look. The mix of open compartments and closed cabinets offers variation and ensures a sleek look. The cabinet fits perfectly against the wall and makes optimal use of the space from floor to ceiling.

Beautiful Placement

Placed in the living room, next to the large window, the cabinet benefits from plenty of natural light. This accentuates the black satin finish and allows the decorative items in the cabinet to shine.

Unique Features and Uses

What makes this cabinet unique is the built-in seating area between the compartments. Ideal for a moment of rest or to read a book. The subtle lighting above the small desk spots adds a cozy atmosphere.

Customization of TOSIZE.fi

Thanks to the custom wood service of TOSIZE.fi, Sandra was able to use precise measurements for her design. This not only offers convenience, but also ensures a professional result.

Benefits of Making Your Own

Making something yourself offers an unprecedented freedom. Whether it is choosing specific sizes, working within a budget, or selecting the colours and materials – it is in your own hands.

Modern and Atmospheric

The modern style of this shelving unit provides a contemporary look that will enhance any living room. The combination of black satin gloss with wooden elements creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Why Choose MDF Primed?

MDF Primed is an excellent choice for sleek, high-quality finishes. It is easy to paint, highly versatile, and provides a smooth surface for a professional finish.

With this amazing cabinet, Sandra shows how custom woodwork can transform any space. Why not start a project yourself?

Tips from Sandra

The assembly was very easy. Everything was put in order in advance. If you want to paint the cabinet in a dark color. Then you can also use black MDF. Saves you on the painting. We had to paint the cabinet 4 times. Which I thought was fine, but I understand that it is a bit much for others. We installed lighting by buying very flat spotlights. We drilled horizontally in one of the shelves where the spotlight had to come with a very long snake drill. And pulled the wires through there.
