A Top Project: The Shelving Unit for the Living Room

Lotte transformed her living room with a beautiful custom-made shelving unit. This eye-catcher not only has a functional value, but also adds a touch of style to the living room. Perfect for elegantly integrating the television with the rest of the interior.

Construction and Materials

The bookcase is constructed from custom-sawn wood, supplied by TOSIZE.at. The cabinet has a sleek layout with different compartments and levels, which creates a playful yet organized whole. The color, Little Greene - Rolling Fog Pale, gives a serene and modern look to the interior.

Beautiful To Its Right

Placed against a prominent wall in the living room, the shelving unit comes into its own. The unit offers ample space for books, decorative items and of course the television. Thanks to the built-in lighting, objects are beautifully illuminated, adding extra atmosphere to the space.

Unique Features

The flexibility in compartment layout makes this cabinet unique. Lotte has chosen to alternate open compartments and closed parts. This creates a dynamic image, where functional use and aesthetics are nicely balanced.

The Role of TOSIZE.at

Thanks to the custom cutting of the panels by TOSIZE.at, Lotte was able to easily make her design a reality. With the exact dimensions and the high quality of the planks, assembly was a breeze. Cutting to size not only offers convenience, but also the possibility to save costs by assembling it yourself.

Modern Minimalism

The modern minimalist style of the shelving unit gives the living room a calm and balanced look. The flowing lines and subtle colour contribute to a relaxed atmosphere that is ideal for any modern home.

Used Wood Types

For this project, MDF Primed was chosen, which is known for its smooth finish and easy workability. The fine structure allows surfaces to be painted easily without much preparation. MDF Primed is also less susceptible to warping, making it a sustainable choice for furniture.

DIY tips

When assembling shelves, it is always useful to use a spirit level for perfect alignment. In addition, make sure to use strong fasteners to ensure the stability of your cabinet.

Tips from Lotte

We made the lighting in the cabinet with smart home lights from Hornbach. We made a hole with a hole saw and the spotlight was attached in it. The cables are hidden behind the doors. We mounted two separate cabinets on top of each other. We struggled a lot with that, because we were going to measure everything. Because the shelves are delivered with small deviations, the two separate cabinets did not fit on top of each other. So it is really better to stick a piece of tape on the bottom cabinet, draw the holes on it and then stick the tape on the top part. This prevents the cabinets from not fitting on top of each other (this was also the advice we got, but we were so stubborn not to listen to it).
