Stylish Meter Cabinet and Shoe Cabinet, by Johan
With his creative insight and skillful hands, Johan has realized a beautiful project: a functional combination of a meter cupboard and a shoe cabinet, beautifully finished with flush doors. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine order and style.
The function and structure of the project
This handy piece of furniture is designed to keep the meter cupboard neatly out of sight, while also incorporating practical shoe storage. The cabinet features sleek, white surfaces that create a modern look. Using MDF Primed panels, specially cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl, Johan was able to achieve a seamless finish. The cabinet doors feature subtle rounded openings for a simple and stylish handle.
Perfect placement and design
The cabinet is situated in the hallway, a smart choice for a space where footwear is frequently changed. Thanks to its streamlined design, the cabinet fits perfectly against the wall, leaving ample walking space. The flat doors give the room a calm appearance and make the interior look light and open.
Unique features and materials
The unique integration of the shoe shelves within the cabinet ensures efficient organization of footwear without compromising the accessibility of the meter cupboard. Thanks to the robust MDF Primed panels, voorzien with a sturdy primer layer, Johan has managed to create a low-maintenance and durable design.
Why make it yourself?
Johan chose to build this cabinet himself, which gave him the freedom to determine the exact dimensions and select the material according to his wishes. In addition to the financial advantage of self-building, cutting OPMAATZAGEN.nl to size offers the opportunity to create a unique piece that fits perfectly into your interior.
Modern style
Thanks to its modern design and simple lines, the cabinet exudes calm and cleanliness—a contemporary addition to any hallway that remains highly functional.
The benefits of MDF Primed
MDF Primed is the ideal choice for projects like this. The material is smooth and ready to paint, guaranteeing a professional finish. Moreover, it is excellent to work with, making it easy to realize any desired shape or size.
DIY tips
Finally, a few tips: ensure secure attachment to the wall to prevent tilting, and consider a light sanding before painting to improve adhesion. Take the time for a careful finish, because that really makes the difference!

Step by step guide
Preparation
- Build a wooden frame. Don't assume the walls are straight… make sure everything is level.
- After making a frame, measure the exact dimensions of the doors and frame. The doors will lie flush between the frame. This must therefore be within 2 mm clearance between the doors and the door/frame.
Montage
- Mount the frame, level everything, check if the doors fit. Drill the holes for the hinges, measure, measure, measure…
- Install the doors. Big tip: use a mounting cushion.
Finish
- Caulking all around, and painting is the final step.
