The construction of the bookcase

What immediately stands out about Jordi's project is the sleek, white finish of the bookcase, which creates a sense of space and tranquility. The bookcase consists of multiple compartments with shelves that follow simple, straight lines, and is designed to blend in with its surroundings. The types of wood and materials used, supplied by OPMAATZAGEN.nl and cut to size, allowed Jordi to assemble the bookcase exactly as he had envisioned it.

The white bookcase in its element

The integration of the bookcase into the living room is where this inspiration project really shines. The bright white color contrasts beautifully with the warm wood tones of the floor and provides a fresh, modern look.
