A Practical and Stylish Hallway Cupboard

Meet the clever combination of functionality and aesthetics: the hallway closet by Nynke. This homemade hallway closet is not only a shoe closet, but also adds a touch of style to your entrance.

Construction and Materials

The cabinet is made of high-quality wood with a beautiful wood look. The green base offers a subtle color addition that contrasts nicely with the natural tones of the wood. The doors ensure a neat closure of your things and the open compartments offer easy access to your favorite shoes.

The Perfect Location

Strategically placed in the hallway, this cabinet fits perfectly against the wall. It not only offers storage space, but also makes your entrance a warm welcome.

Unique Features

Thanks to the custom-cut parts of TOSIZE.ie, Nynke was able to create a cabinet that perfectly fits her space. With the ability to vary in size and material, she created a design that is completely personal.

Benefits of Making Your Own

Building your own offers great freedom in design and function. You determine the dimensions, materials and design that fits your budget. Not only is it satisfying to make something with your own hands, but it also delivers exactly what you want.

Wood Types and Their Benefits

Plywood Interior Polish Pine: This wood species is ideal for any interior project thanks to its aesthetic appearance and versatility.

Hardboard: An affordable and durable choice that is easy to work with and ideal for cabinet backs and bottoms.

A Timeless Style

The hall has been transformed into a modern, yet timeless space. With the warm look of wood and subtle color accents, Nynke has created a cozy, yet functional entrance that welcomes everyone.

Step by step guide

Preparation

First I drew the plan on paper, then I ordered the wood.

Montage

Putting the cabinet together was fairly easy. I just had to do some trial drilling to get the hinges at the right distance. This was my first time drilling hinge holes myself. Super fun!

Finish

I wanted a green base for the cabinet, which I did with Annie Sloan paint (Olive). There are also metal support brackets under the base, to prevent sagging. I also stained the cabinet (a 1:1 mix between Gamma wood stain oak & white oak), to give it a more finished look to the Polish pine, and to match my hall bench. For handles I drilled two holes with the tool I also used to drill the hinge holes.

Tips from Nynke

Always start with a well thought out design and measure your available space accurately. Make sure you have all the necessary tools at hand before you start.
