How Sander brought a sleek pantry to life

Are you looking for inspiration to create a unique pantry that is not only practical, but also fits seamlessly into your interior? Discover how Sander made a high-gloss MDF custom cabinet, straight from Pinterest, a reality in his own kitchen.

From idea to realization

With a clear vision and the helpful service of OPMAATZAGEN.nl, who cut the wood to perfection, Sander transformed his kitchen-diner with a self-made high-gloss pantry. The photos show the transformation from loose, lacquered MDF panels to an organized, functional cabinet, offering custom-cut space for all his kitchen essentials.

The structure and unique details

A cabinet with compartments of different sizes, integrated drawers and open shelves: the design of Sanders cabinet is not only stylish, but also well thought out. With a minimalist design and high-gloss finish, a modern atmosphere is radiated, while the structure of the MDF gives a warmer touch.

A cabinet that fits perfectly

In his spacious kitchen, Sander now has everything within reach thanks to this custom-made pantry. The sleek lines of the cabinet complement the modern look of the space, while the high-quality high-gloss finish provides a luxurious feel.

Make it yourself: a smart choice

By building your own pantry, you not only have the freedom to choose the dimensions and materials, but you also have the opportunity to save money. A DIY project like this shows that with a little creativity and the right materials, you can achieve a result that is specifically designed for your needs.

The advantage of MDF

Why did Sander choose MDF Lacquer Carrier Foil? This material is particularly suitable for a high-gloss finish and offers a smooth and sleek end result, perfect for a modern look in any room.

The stylish end result

Sanders' project has been completed and the result is impressive. The stylish pantry in high-gloss beige exudes calm and efficiency. Now furnished and used, the pantry shows how functionality and design can go together.

MDF Lacquer carrier film 18 mm and 16 mm

MDF Lacquer Carrier Foil is a favorite among wood species due to the smooth finish it offers. With thicknesses of 18 and 16 mm, Sander obtained the strength needed for the construction, while the smooth surface formed the perfect base for the high-gloss lacquer.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • First designed a cabinet, thought about the layout and the dimensions. This neatly worked out in a drawing with dimensions. Then copied all dimensions into a cutting list and uploaded this at OPMAATZAGEN.nl. I also had auxiliary pieces cut to use as spacers.

Montage

  • With everything neatly cut to size and the cutting list at hand, it was a matter of putting the right pieces in the right place and screwing them together with MDF screws. Because I didn't have to pre-drill thanks to the special MDF screws and the screws were automatically countersunk, this went super fast. The only shelf that didn't fit was a mistake on my part in the cutting list ;) I just re-ordered that shelf.
  • After assembling the cabinet, the hinges and drawer runners were measured and placed. Also fitted everything into place and added adjustable feet.

Finish

  • Before painting, I filled all the screw holes. I sanded the end edges, treated them with edge sealer, sanded them again, finished them with filler again and finally sanded them again.
  • Finally, the cabinet is finished with 2 layers of high-gloss lacquer.
