Description

We made a floating TV unit ourselves with birch plywood that we had miter cut by TOSIZE.co.uk. We then hung this shelf on the wall using a steel frame. We have also ordered several 38mm thick MDF shelves of which we have made a 'bookcase'. On the side of the wall, we mitered the planks so that the planks run nicely with the wall (and therefore there is no open space). The small vertical boards between the horizontal boards are loose, so they can be placed anywhere you want (2nd photo). For more storage space in the kitchen, we have also placed a shelf under our kitchen cupboard (3rd photo).

Floating TV cabinet & custom bookshelves

We hung the bookcase using a wall system that we bought at the Hornbach (crazy wall rail + carriers). The shelves are deeper than the carriers so that the carrier is not in sight. We primed the planks 2x (flexa primer for MDF) and then 1x in the varnish. We have had the TV cabinet miter cut because we have placed a raised edge on the front and side (looks just a bit more finished). We fixed this with a tacker using a strip at the bottom of the plank (which is not in sight). We suspended the shelf using a steel frame. We had these welded together by an acquaintance.
