Stylish bookcase in the living room, by Anne

An Inspiring DIY Project

In this inspiring DIY projects page we discuss a beautiful bookcase that Anne designed and realized completely by herself. This impressive bookcase is made of MDF Gegrond, a versatile material that is perfect for interior projects. The bookcase, placed in the living room, exudes a refined style and functionality that immediately attracts attention.

Design and Construction

The bookcase is carefully constructed from various elements. Anne chose MDF Primed, which was custom cut at TOSIZE.be, especially for this project. This wood offers a smooth finish that is ideal for painting and provides a sleek and modern look.

The cabinet occupies an entire wall, which not only provides ample storage space but also has an impressive visual impact in the living room. The light, subtle colour of the cabinet harmonises with the wooden floor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Smart Corner Solution with Two Cabinets

A special aspect of this project is the placement of two cabinets in a corner arrangement. Anne has chosen the so-called "empty corner solution" , a smart way to make optimal use of the space without having to deal with awkward or difficult to reach corner compartments.

Instead of a cabinet that runs completely into the corner, the two cabinets are placed tightly against each other with an open space in the corner. This prevents you from having to reach into the corner or having to deal with awkward shelf divisions. The solution offers a sleek and symmetrical look and is also much more practical in daily use.

This setup is based on the tips from this article on our website: Smart solutions for tricky corners – is a TOSIZE Furniture corner cabinet something for you?

Here you can read more about different ways to efficiently organize corners with custom cabinets. For this project, the "empty corner solution" worked perfectly: stylish, functional and easy to realize with custom-cut elements.

Practical Details and Unique Aspects

The cabinet features both open shelves and closed storage spaces, giving you the perfect mix of visible and concealed storage. This makes it ideal not only for books, but also for decorative objects and electronics that need to be neatly stored.

Thanks to the use of MDF Primed, the cabinet is flexible in terms of dimensions and layout, allowing Anne to adapt it exactly to her wishes. Because the elements were cut to size by TOSIZE.be, assembly was simple and error-free.

The Living Room as an Ideal Place

The choice to place the bookcase in the living room was strategic. It not only offers the opportunity to display your book collection, but also acts as a focal element in the room, adding a sense of completeness and style to the living space.

Benefits of Making It Yourself

One of the biggest advantages of this DIY project was the freedom Anne had in the design and construction process. Using MDF Primed gave her the flexibility to customize the cabinet exactly to her liking. Additionally, the paintable surface of MDF Primed offers the opportunity to explore different styles and colors.

Stylish Modern Finish

The bookcase stands out because of its modern and stylish look. The finish and the chosen colour give a sleek and contemporary look that fits perfectly in modern interiors. This shows how a simple choice of material can create a timeless design.

Why Choose Primed MDF?

Using Primed MDF in this project brought several benefits. Primed MDF is easy to work with and provides a perfect base for paint, allowing you to achieve seamless finishes. This makes it ideal for any interior design project where aesthetics are important.

With the ability to be cut and shaped to size, MDF Gegrond offers the flexibility you need for personal projects like this beautiful bookcase.
