Create your own display cabinet with self-painted doors, by Aafke

Inspiration for a homemade shelving unit

Do you want to personalize your interior with a unique and functional piece of furniture? Then be inspired by the shelving unit that Aafke has created. This stylish shelving unit with doors is not only an eye-catcher, but also a showcase of creativity and craftsmanship.

The design and realization

Aafke has opted for a sleek and modern design, which allows the shelving unit to seamlessly integrate into her living room. The unit consists of open shelves combined with closed compartments with doors, all carefully cut to size by TOSIZE.ie and then painted by herself. This has given the unit a fresh and contemporary look, matching Aafke's personal taste.

Colour choice and finish

The colour palette of the display cabinet is coordinated with the walls and the rest of the interior, resulting in a harmonious whole. The mix of open compartments and closed doors allows Aafke to display her favourite items while at the same time keeping less attractive necessities out of sight. The self-painted doors emphasise the self-made nature of the project and give the whole a personal character.

The benefits of building your own

By building a shelving unit yourself, you enjoy the flexibility to fully tailor the dimensions and use of materials to your wishes. Aafke has made the most of this advantage by perfectly matching the size of the unit to the available space in the living room. This not only provides a spatial advantage, but also makes the entire project cost-effective; an important aspect for the do-it-yourselfer who is consciously budget-conscious.

Stylish simplicity

The minimalism and elegance also makes the shelving unit a stylish element in the living room. The subtle choice of colour, combined with the balanced distribution of space, ensures a timeless look. Aafke has completed a project that not only meets practical storage needs, but is also an extension of her taste and personality.

Place in house

Standing against a neutral colored wall in the living room, the white shelving unit becomes the star of the room. The light from the large windows accentuates the structure of the unit and highlights the self-painted doors. It is the perfect place to let the unit shine and at the same time combine functionality and style.
