A Unique Washbasin Furniture for the Bathroom

The project designed by Jette is a beautiful and unique washbasin, made of Plywood Birch B/BB. By choosing the wood types Hardboard and Plywood Birch B/BB, Jette has managed to create a sleek and modern piece of furniture that fits seamlessly into the bathroom. The subtle colour tones of the birch give the piece of furniture a light and elegant look, ideal for a fresh start to your day.

Custom Cut with Care

The wood for this project was carefully cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl . This service allowed Jette to get started right away with the perfect dimensions, saving time and effort and ensuring seamless assembly. The precision of the cut-to-size panels contributes to the sturdy construction and sleek appearance of the furniture.

Details that make the difference

The vanity unit consists of two spacious drawers, ideal for organising bathroom essentials. The drawers are subtly integrated with invisible hinges and feature handle recesses, which maintains the clean lines of the design. The top of the unit is perfectly tailored to support the washbasin, which contributes to the minimalistic look.

Perfect Placement in the Bathroom

This vanity is ideal for any modern bathroom due to its compact and functional design. The light wood contrasts beautifully with the neutral tones of the bathroom walls, creating a serene and harmonious atmosphere. The position of the vanity has been carefully chosen next to the wall, which makes efficient use of the available space and creates an aesthetic balance.

Flexibility and Freedom of DIY

A DIY project like this offers unprecedented flexibility in design and dimensions. You can adjust every aspect to your personal wishes and needs. Because Jette was able to choose her own materials, a unique style was created that fits perfectly into her interior. The choice of Multiplex Beech B/BB gives the furniture a stable and durable base, while the hardboard ensures sleek finishes.

Scandinavian Style

The end result exudes a calming Scandinavian style, characterised by clean lines and a functional design. Combined with a touch of natural materials, such as birch plywood, the furniture is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The use of neutral colours contributes to the versatility and timeless elegance of the design.

Advantages of the Wood Types Used

Plywood Birch B/BB: Strong and Elegant

Birch plywood panels offer an excellent combination of strength and beauty. The natural grain gives a warm, inviting look, while the durability ensures a long life.

Hardboard: Smooth Finish

Hardboard is the perfect choice for a sleek finish. It is lightweight, yet robust enough for everyday use. The wood is easy to work with, allowing you to create smaller details exactly as desired.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • As an example, we bought a washbasin from IKEA. We copied the measurements and ordered it in the type of wood we had in mind. We first varnished all the wood. We used Osmo Topoil 3037 white.

Montage

  • For the assembly we used screws because the furniture will be placed between a wall and this will therefore not be visible. We also made the drawers based on the IKEA measurements. The bottom of the drawer is made of Hardboard material (3 mm). To open the drawers we made a hole with a speed drill that serves as a 'handle'.

Finish

  • The final step is to make a hole in the top for the sink. The piece of furniture is hung on the wall.
  • We are still incredibly happy with our homemade washbasin furniture every day!
