Inspiration for your Ivar shelving unit project

Do you dream of a functional addition to your interior? Get inspired by Melanie, who has realized an Ivar cabinet IKEA conversion and extension. With a few creative adjustments, she transformed standard Ivar cabinets into a custom-made open shelving unit that fits into her living space.

The construction of the compartment cabinet

Melanie's project started with choosing the right components. The Ivar cabinets, known for their versatility, formed an excellent basis. Then TOSIZE.ie had the necessary sheet materials cut to size from MDF Blank 18 mm. This precision ensures that the cabinet fits well against the wall and floor, giving it a built-in effect.

Unique details

Elements such as the compartment division give the cabinet a playful and modern look. The cabinet has both open and closed parts, which provides diversity in storage options. The combination of shelves and cabinets makes the whole not only beautiful but also practical.

Advantages of self-build

By choosing a DIY project like this, you have the flexibility to tailor the dimensions to your exact needs. In addition, working with materials like MDF gives you the freedom to choose finishes that suit your budget and taste.

The style of Melanie's bookcase

The cabinet has a minimalist style that exudes elegance. The sleek lines and subtle wood tone fit seamlessly into a modern interior. This style choice shows that a minimalist design does not come at the expense of functionality or personality.

The advantages of MDF Blank 18 mm

MDF Blank 18 mm is a versatile wood that is ideal for furniture projects. The material is easy to work with, stable, and has a smooth finish that is perfect for painting. All of this contributes to the aesthetics and durability of Melanie's project.
