Make your own book and shoe cabinet with custom-cut wood

Looking for a unique and personal closet solution? Vid has created a beautiful project using custom-sawn wood from TOSIZE.pt that is both functional and aesthetic. In this inspiring DIY, Vid shares how he created a bookcase and shoe cabinet with drawer that perfectly fit into his interior.

The ideal setup for book lovers

Vid’s bookcase isn’t just a place to store books; it’s a statement piece in his living room. The sleek shelves are sturdy and finished in a neutral color, which contrasts beautifully with the colorful spines of the books. The bookcase is built against the wall next to a large window, which provides ample natural light, beautifully illuminating the books.

Stylish storage space for shoes

In the hall, Vid has placed a long cabinet with doors, equipped with an ingenious shoe cabinet with drawer. This cabinet offers plenty of storage space for shoes, perfectly organised behind the long doors. The drawer at the bottom is practical for storing small accessories. This makes the hall an organised and stylish entrance.

The role of TOSIZE.pt

The success of Vid's project also lies in the quality of the material. With MDF Natural from TOSIZE.pt he was given the freedom to have each plank cut to size. This meant he didn't have to compromise on his design or the available space. Cutting to size gives you the freedom to execute your creative ideas exactly as you envision them.

Clean neutral style

The project has a modern, sleek style where the minimalist look fits perfectly with the rest of the interior. The cabinet doors and shelves have a subtle, neutral finish that combines well with other furniture in the room.

Benefits of MDF Natural

MDF Natural is a versatile wood that is ideal for DIY projects. It is easy to work with, meaning it is simple to cut, drill and paint. MDF Natural provides a smooth surface that provides a neat and professional finish to any project. Perfect for that personalised touch to your interior.

DIY tips

When working with MDF it is important to finish the edges with a primer before painting, so that the paint adheres well. Also ensure good ventilation during painting to get a nice and streak-free result.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • All MDF boards first painted with primer, then sides filled with acrylic filler. I glued the cabinet boards together with slats.

Montage

  • The shelves for the bookcase (thickness 38mm) I attached to the wall with invisible plant supports (Italiana Ferramenta shelf support with plug - 165 x 14 mm). For the long cabinet doors and the shoe cabinet I used Blum hinges.

Finish

  • I finished all MDF planks with matt lacquer, 2 layers of each colour.
