Make your own bookcase from pine wood

Are you looking for a unique addition to your living room? Be inspired by Inez's project. She made a beautiful shelving unit from pine wood and gave her interior a personal touch with it. This inspirational project shows how you can also realize such a piece with some skill and the right materials from OPMAATZAGEN.nl.

Unique look with natural materials

Inez's self-made shelving unit is a showcase of craftsmanship and style. The use of open shelves combined with closed compartments creates a playful effect and at the same time offers sufficient storage space. The subtle white finish of the exterior contrasts beautifully with the natural colour of the pine wood and makes this cabinet truly unique.

The construction of the bookcase

The project started with wood that was cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl. Inez chose 18mm Pine Carpentry Panel and 12mm MDF Blank to ensure a solid construction. She assembled the cabinet step by step, carefully fitting the shelves and side pieces to achieve the desired cabinet layout.

The style of the homemade bookcase

The shelving unit created by Inez fits perfectly with a modern interior style, where natural materials and comfort come together. The timeless design of the unit ensures that it fits into many interior styles.

Step by step guide

Preparation

Wij hebben online een project gevonden wat onze richtlijn was, alleen de diepte van de kast hebben we aangepast. De basis is van de ivar van ikea. We hebben die van 50cm diep gekocht en deze teruggebracht naar 38 cm diep, zodat we iets meer opbergruimte hadden.

Montage

We hebben het hout van {{ tosize_current_site_name() }} om de Ivar heen gebouwd (door verlijmen en boren). De tussenplanken hebben we daarna bevestigd met lijm, boren en deuvelen.
