Inspiration for a green living room with a custom-made shelving unit
Do you dream of a unique, personal addition to your living room that is both functional and stylish? Mandy shows you how to transform your living room into a space full of character with a custom-made shelving unit and a touch of green. This DIY inspiration is a real eye-catcher and is also fully customized to your own preference and style.
The construction and choice of colours of the display cabinet
The shelving unit shown stands out with its clean lines and soothing green hue that fits perfectly with the color palette of the living room. With compartments of different sizes, the unit offers plenty of space for both practical storage and places to display decorative items. The wood for this unit was cut to size by TOSIZE.lu, giving Mandy the freedom to create a unique design herself. Every detail, from the placement of the shelves to the choice of materials, reflects personality and creativity.
A seamless integration into the living room
The green colour scheme of the shelving unit fits seamlessly into the living room, giving it a harmonious look. Mandy has subtly incorporated the green colour through plants and accessories with green accents, which contributes to a calm and natural atmosphere in the space.
Benefits of making your own shelving unit
The flexibility in design and dimensions is one of the great advantages of a DIY shelving unit. Mandy was able to choose the exact dimensions and layout that fit her living room. In addition, the use of different thicknesses of MDF provides variation in depth and structure. The choice of materials and the custom cutting of the wood by TOSIZE.lu also offer the possibility of staying within a budget without compromising on quality and appearance.
Style and functionality go hand in hand
The shelving unit is not only a stylish addition to the living room, but also extremely functional. Mandy has found a balance between open shelves for decorative objects and closed cabinets for storing various items. This design proves that style and functionality can go hand in hand.
Types of wood and their benefits
MDF Primed 30 mm
The robust appearance and strength of the 30 mm thick MDF are ideal characteristics for the construction of the outside of the cabinet. It provides a solid base and makes the cabinet a durable addition to the living room.
MDF Primed 18 mm
The shelves and dividers are made of 18 mm MDF. This thickness offers a nice balance between strength and aesthetics, ideal for the crossbeams in the cabinet.
MDF Primed 9 mm
The rear panels of the cabinet are made of fine 9 mm MDF, which provides a neat finish and reinforces the entire construction without making it too heavy.
