DIY Bespoke Bedroom Storage Solutions

Looking to revamp your bedroom with storage that fits perfectly within your space? Let this inspiration project by Brendan fuel your creativity! Brendan has masterfully constructed a custom wardrobe system featuring sleek, soft close drawer boxes, designed to fit seamlessly into his bedroom.

The Crafting of a Unique Wardrobe

The project began with precision-cut plywood, supplied by OPMAATZAGEN.nl, ensuring each component of the drawer boxes fit snugly together. The construction showcases high-quality craftsmanship, with sturdy joints and a seamless finish.

Soft Close Mechanism: A Touch of Luxury

Each drawer is equipped with a soft close feature, adding a touch of elegance and functionality to the wardrobe. These smooth-gliding drawers enhance the user experience, providing a quiet and controlled closure that speaks volumes of the attention to quality in Brendan's work.

Color Scheme and Design Details

The neutral color of the plywood drawers complements the bedroom's aesthetic, integrating effortlessly with the existing decor. The simplicity of the design, highlighted by clean lines and minimalist handles, enhances the modern appeal of the bedroom.

Perfect Fit for a Serene Bedroom

The custom-built wardrobe fits perfectly within the bedroom, catering to the need for organization and style. The thoughtful configuration of the drawers, optimizing the underutilized space, proves that this project was more than just building storage; it was about creating harmony in the bedroom environment.

Benefits of DIY Drawer Box Construction

Embarking on a DIY project like this allows you to tailor the dimensions and materials to suit your specific needs and preferences. With the help of OPMAATZAGEN.nl, Brendan was able to select the ideal thickness of plywood and design the drawers to fit his exact space. The cost-effectiveness of a DIY approach also means that you can achieve a high-end look at a fraction of the price of store-bought alternatives.

Contemporary Style in Focus

The style of Brendan's wardrobe project could be described as contemporary minimalist. The smooth finishes and understated hardware lend themselves to a modern, uncluttered aesthetic that ensures the bedroom remains a tranquil, organized retreat.

The Advantages of Plywood Interior Poplar

Plywood Interior Poplar B/BB 15 mm and 6 mm were the chosen materials for this project, offering benefits such as lightness, ease of handling and an attractive grain pattern. The lighter weight of this plywood makes it ideal for bedroom furniture, as it is easy to move and install. Furthermore, its smooth surface lends itself to a refined finish, ideal for painting or applying veneers.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • Routed a 6mm wide by 5mm deep groove in each internal side of the drawer box for the base and drilled 2 pocket holes at each corner using my pocket hole jig.

Montage

  • Joined 4 sides together with pocket screws and glue for extra strength ensuring that they were square. I left the font side short enough so that I could slide the base into position and secured them with pin nails.

Finish

  • I routed notches out of the back of the drawer for the under mounted drawer slides. I then hand sanded the boxes with 240 grit and applied osmo polyx using a non-abrasive pad. After drying I applied a second coat using the non abrasive pad.
  • Fitted drawer slides to my bedroom wardrobe units and catches to the underside of the drawer boxes and attached the faces of the drawers and handles using 25mm wood screws and M4 screws for the handles ensuring the correct spacing using plastic spacers.
