DIY: Making a creative bookcase in a stairwell, by Merijn

Ingenious use of empty space

When you see the empty space by the stairs, it's an opportunity to come up with something creative. Merijn turned this often forgotten place into a practical and stylish interior element: a bookcase. This inspiring DIY project shows how you can combine both aesthetics and function in your home with clever design and custom-cut wood from TOSIZE.se.

Sleek and functional design

The white bookcase follows the lines of the staircase perfectly, making it a seamless addition to the hallway. The built-in cabinet offers ample space for books, decorative objects and even art, as evidenced by the image of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" that takes pride of place. Thanks to the customization of TOSIZE.se, each panel of the 28mm Spruce Carpentry Panel fits into place effortlessly.

Why customization makes such a difference

Realizing a project like this custom bookcase yourself gives a satisfaction that you don't get with store-bought furniture. You have complete freedom over the dimensions and choice of materials, resulting in a unique piece that fits your taste and budget. Making it yourself also saves money without sacrificing quality.

The perfect addition to the hallway

Merijn’s project is located in the hallway, where the bookcase offers a warm welcome and immediately provides useful storage space. The simple white design exudes tranquility and fits with any colour and style in the interior, making it a versatile addition.

A stylish finish

This completed project captures the imagination with its minimalist style. The simplicity and sleek lines make the bookcase a subtle, yet influential eye-catcher.

The advantages of Spruce Carpentry Panel

Using Pine Carpentry Panel for this project has several advantages. It is a durable type of wood that is easy to work, paint and assemble. Its natural look can enhance both a rustic and modern atmosphere, while its sturdiness ensures that you will enjoy the cabinet for a long time.
