Inspiration for your next project: a custom-made bookcase

Are you looking for a way to enrich your living room with a personal and stylish piece of furniture? Then get inspired by Jaap's project, who created a beautiful blue bookcase with a handy base cabinet. This inspiration can help you get started with a unique DIY project yourself!

The construction and design

The bookcase is not only a place for books, but also a jewel in the living room. Jaap opted for a sleek design with compartments of different sizes that create a playful effect. The base cabinet with doors offers practical storage space. He had the wood cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl, which makes the fit perfect.

Color and unique details

The soft blue colour of the cabinet harmonises perfectly with the living room and gives a calm, but also fresh look. Unique details, such as the refined handles and the clever division of the compartments, make this piece of furniture really special.

Why make it yourself?

By making your own bookcase, you have complete freedom in choosing the sizes, materials and colours. It also offers a cost advantage compared to ready-made furniture. Moreover, it gives a sense of satisfaction when you create something beautiful for your home yourself.

The style of Jaap's project

This cabinet can be described as modern with a timeless character. The minimalist design with a pop of color and the combination of open compartments and closed storage space is completely contemporary and fits in almost any interior style.

The advantages of Multiplex Interior Poplar Primed 18 mm

Jaap chose Multiplex Interior Poplar Primed 18 mm because of its versatility and ease of use. Multiplex is stable, easy to work with and paint. The primer made it possible to apply the desired blue colour directly to the wood, saving time and effort.
