The Construction of the Bookshelf

As you step into the living room, you immediately notice the impressive bookshelf that spans almost the entire wall. This bookshelf was designed and built by Susanne and serves as a true eye-catcher in the cozy living space. Thanks to TOSIZE.fr, which supplied the custom-cut wood, the shelves fit perfectly and are elegantly integrated into the room.

Color and Unique Details

The bookshelf is finished in a subtle green hue that harmonizes perfectly with the rest of the interior. This paintwork gives the shelf a modern look while being unique enough to stand out in the living room. With great attention to detail, the shelves are neatly finished, incorporating a mix of open spaces and closed compartments—ideal for both books and decorative items.

Why This Living Room?

Located in the living room of a stylish apartment in Copenhagen, the bookshelf not only adds practical storage but also brings a certain elegance and style. The vibrant city sounds are softened inside, making the book wall a tranquil oasis where you can fully immerse yourself in your favorite literature. It perfectly complements the spacious layout while also providing a cozy corner in this otherwise open space.

Benefits of DIY

Building a bookshelf like this yourself offers many advantages. The flexibility in sizing allows you to make the most of every nook and cranny. Moreover, it gives you the freedom to choose wood types and experiment with colors and finishes. This results in a final product that is entirely tailored to your personal taste and style.

The Scandinavian Style

The design of this bookshelf exudes typical Scandinavian elegance. Minimalistic, with a focus on functionality and aesthetics, the shelf creates a calming focal point that is both inviting and stylish. The muted green color reflects the natural elements often seen in Scandinavian design, adding a serene ambiance to the living room.

Tips from Susanne

Large bookcase in Copenhagen apartment. We needed a bookcase to house our large collection of books and hide some smaller item behind some doors. The bookcase (2m85 high and about 3m wide) is made of primed MDF. We were three people to build it, and it took about 5 hours. The bit that took the longest was levelling the bookcase on our crooked floors, after that, it was easy going. We finished the bookcase with 2 layers of paint, and the paint job itself took a couple of days.

Our tips: 

  • Sort all the wood in stacks by type so you have a stack of doors, a stack of shelves etc.
  • Then also stack them in order, so that the pieces that you need to start with are on top and that you should end with in the bottom. Using an hour to short everything meant that we had a really smooth process building when it comes to such a large bookcase with so many pieces. 
  • We built the bookcase box by box, so two upright pieces glued onto a base, and then a horizontal piece (shelf) on top to stabilize the box, before moving to the next box on the same level.
