Paul and Mariska share their adventure in building a spacious wall and storage cupboard for their living room. Discover their approach, experiences and the end result of this inspiring project.

Description by Paul

In our search for a beautiful, functional wall cupboard, we came across the possibilities of TOSIZE.fr. A cupboard of 4.60 meters, with many storage options, but retaining a beautiful, spacious appearance due to the open compartments.

How I made this project

First of all, we have all the loose planks need to be painted. A time-consuming job because it required 3 layers of paint (2x ground and 1x regular layer). Then we assembled the cabinet and attached it to the wall. We worked on this for 1 day. We lost a few hours extra time because we chose to mill the wiring (for music boxes and LED lighting). Without these extra options you can do it in half a day.

Tip: if you take a cupboard up to the ceiling (which we have), make the holes in the top shelf a little larger, then you will have to use less force to place the top shelf and this reduces the risk of damage.
