A Stylish Addition to the Toilet

Discover Jurriën's creation: a beautiful, handmade vanity unit for the toilet. This unique piece of furniture is not only stylish but also functional; it creates a tidy appearance by neatly concealing the pipes and providing extra storage space.

The Structure and Materials

The cabinet is made of Timberboard Pine light, carefully cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl. This light wood gives the furniture a natural and serene appearance that perfectly complements the calm colors of the toilet. The cabinet features clean, minimalist lines and convenient round handles, contributing to a modern look.

Space Optimization

Strategically placed next to the toilet and under the sink, this vanity unit makes optimal use of limited space. The cabinet offers storage space without compromising freedom of movement in this often small room.

The Advantage of Cut-to-Order Wood

With cut-to-size wood, you can take control of the design and execution yourself. It offers you the freedom to choose materials and dimensions that perfectly match your personal taste and interior. Moreover, it is often more budget-friendly!

Timberboard Pine light: A Sustainable Choice

Step by step guide

Preparation

Sketch the cabinet and then measure the space where the built-in unit needs to go. If there are slanted walls, work from the sections that are straight and mask off with painter's tape as a reference throughout the project.

Montage

If the walls and floor are crooked in various places, work from points that are straight and/or level. You cannot correct the crookedness of the floor, but you can level the base board using adjustable feet. If the wall against which the cabinet rests is crooked, measure the depth at various points from the tapped spot to determine how the back of the board needs to be cut. This can easily be done with a jigsaw. After that, you can screw the outer boards in place. I chose small corner brackets, which are easy to screw on. Mark the sink on the top panel and cut it out with a jigsaw or handsaw. Next, you can mount the inner boards. Then the doors; this is easily done with a door hinge set, which allows you to drill holes for the hinges in the correct location. Finally, you can drill the cabinet into the tiles so that it remains stable.
