Custom work in the attic: Knee walls and sliding doors

Are you looking for inspiration for a practical and stylish attic design? Look no further! Guido has created an impressive DIY project, in which efficient use of space is central. Discover how knee walls and sliding doors can transform your attic into an organized oasis of peace.

Project details and construction

This custom project shows the creation of built-in cupboards under the sloping roof of an attic room. OPMAATZAGEN.nl supplied the MDF Lacquer foil wood to size, after which Guido got to work integrating a sliding door system from wovar. The result is a seamless transition between storage space and living space. The light colour of the sliding doors fits perfectly with the modern, airy look of the attic room.

Why Knee Boards?

Knee walls are ideal for sloping roofs where you want to use every inch. They are an unobtrusive and accessible storage system. What’s more, if you make them yourself, you can have all the measurements taken down to the millimeter by OPMAATZAGEN.nl. The flexibility with a DIY project like this is enormous, you can adjust everything to your specific needs.

The Benefits of Self-Build

By doing it yourself, the costs for such an undertaking remain limited. You have complete freedom in the choice of materials and are not bound to standard dimensions. Building this storage solution yourself offers you the opportunity to use the available space in your attic to perfection.

Style and Finish

The project is completely finished; it exudes a minimalist and sleek style, making the attic room seem larger and more open. Details such as the built-in handles and the refined finish of the sliding doors contribute to a high-quality end result.

MDF Lacquer Carrier Film: The Ideal Material

Choosing MDF Paint Carrier Film is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also practical. The pre-painted layer makes the painting process easier and the result is a sleek, durable finish that can withstand a knock or two. This material is perfect for DIYers who want to achieve a professional-looking result without having to hire a professional.
