An Eye-Catcher in the Living Room

This stunning compartmentalized cabinet, designed by Piet, is the answer to stylish storage and display in one. Placed in the living room, this bookcase not only provides extra storage but also creates a warm ambiance thanks to the built-in lighting that accentuates the dark brown hue.

Structure and Color Details

Made from high-quality Furniture Board Chipboard H597 W07 Oslo oak cocoa brown, this cabinet offers a luxurious look that perfectly matches a modern interior style. The compartments are carefully cut to size by TOSIZE.ie, ensuring the cabinet fits perfectly into the available space. The rich dark color creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A Smart Layout

Thanks to the clever layout, this cabinet can serve as a bookcase, display, and storage space. Each compartment can be individually illuminated, allowing personal items to be highlighted in a tasteful manner. The open and closed spaces offer the possibility to hide or display valuables.

Perfect Customization

TOSIZE.ie played a crucial role in cutting the wood to size, ensuring that every plank fit exactly. This made it easy for Piet to get started himself, with the reassurance that every piece fell perfectly into place.

Scandinavian Influence

The chosen style for this cabinet reflects a modern Scandinavian influence. The clean lines and minimalist approach contribute to a calm and soothing environment.

The Wood Type: Furniture Board Chipboard H597 W07 Oslo oak cocoa brown

Furniture Board Chipboard H597 W07 Oslo oak cocoa brown is ideal for this type of project. The color is not only a beautiful deep brown but also surprisingly versatile. It gives the cabinet a modern look without losing warmth. Moreover, this type of wood is very durable and low-maintenance, making it a good choice for long-term use.

DIY Tips for Successful Assembly

When assembling, ensure you have a spirit level and a good drill so that everything stands nice and straight and securely. Take your time when placing the lighting; good lighting can make all the difference in how your space feels. And above all, enjoy every step—seeing your own creation come to life is immensely satisfying!

Tips from Piet

I know from experience that lighting at the back of the compartments creates an unsightly effect. You often only see the dark silhouettes. Spotlights in the middle of the compartments are better, but you are often looking directly into the light, which is also distracting. That is why I opted for LED strips placed at the very front of each compartment in a black aluminum profile that shines downwards at a 45-degree angle into the compartment. The result is that everything in the compartment is now well lit and the light source is not visible. Moreover, the beams now appear a centimeter thicker due to the profile. Because the cabinet is built against the wall and I also wanted to see as few wires as possible, this lighting plan took me many hours involving a lot of soldering. (The connectors were too thick to fit behind the cabinet.)
