Create your own unique bookcase with reading corner, by Karin

Inspiration for a multifunctional bookcase with reading corner

Looking for ways to add a personal touch to your living space? Get inspired by Karin’s project, who created a beautiful bookcase with an integrated reading corner that perfectly matches her style and the available space in her home.

Project details that make the difference

Karin has combined three different cabinets into one harmonious whole. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing, with carefully applied lacquers and moldings, but also offers an abundance of storage space. In addition, a lovely reading spot in the sun has been created, where she can relax with her favorite books within reach.

The process: From idea to realization

The making of this bookcase started with having the wood cut to size. Karin chose to have her materials cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl, which guaranteed a precise and professional finish. Karin then assembled and finished the cabinets herself, making optimal use of the space around the window.

Why this project belongs in the living room

The living room is often the heart of the home, and this piece of furniture plays into this perfectly. It not only offers extra storage space for books and decorations, but also invites relaxation and togetherness.

Benefits of making your own furniture

Making furniture like this bookcase with reading corner yourself has several advantages. The flexibility in dimensions, the freedom in choice of materials and the control over the budget are just a few examples. This allowed Karin to fully tailor the cabinet to her wishes and the available space.

A stylish result

The style of the bookcase can be described as modern and timeless, with a personal touch through the individual design. The straight lines and light use of colour provide a fresh and calm look.
