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 TOSIZE.de, 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.

General experience
This was my first experience with TOSIZE.de. It was very useful that I could upload the dimensions in CSV format, because this way I could enter all the necessary dimensions without errors from the design program. This was my first serious project, so the leftover pieces came in handy during construction, for example to test the mounting of the hinges. I am very happy with the end result!
