Maurits demonstrates with this DIY project how you can create a super smart storage cabinet using the cutting service. The challenge in many houses, especially attics, is the sloping roofs. There are no good and beautiful standard solutions available for this. Or they don't fit. That's why making a custom cabinet yourself is a good idea. Read below for more about his approach and experience.

Description by Maurits

An MDF storage cabinet under a sloping wall. It's a small attic, so a bed can still be placed for the cabinet. Therefore, the front can be partially folded open, allowing the bed to fit under the unfolded hatch. The top can also be folded open. The hinges are concealed and the hatch stays open at any desired position thanks to the flap stays.

How I made this project

The desire: a cabinet under a sloping wall, with storage space where a bed can also be placed. This should be possible with MDF. After designing, I put the sawyers from the webshop to work so that I quickly received the cabinet in rough dimensions. For a nice look, I routed V-grooves in the shutters at the front and top to create a more rustic look. The hinges are concealed in the edges of the wood (be sure to drill neatly and the MDF is thick enough). After this, everything was primed and painted twice with a beautiful chalk white paint. And the result is there! Very sleekly painted and a perfect solution for a small attic!
