DIY Inspiration: A Personalized Bookshelf and Cove

Are you looking for a way to give your living room a little extra character? Femke shows how, with a bit of skill, creativity, and the right materials from TOSIZE.it, you can create a distinctive bookshelf and a functional cove yourself. Discover how these DIY projects not only enhance your interior but also make it personal and unique.

Building a Personalized Bookshelf

Femke's project is a bookshelf that fits the wall in the living room. The piece of furniture is custom-made by TOSIZE.it and then finished by the customer. Notable are the warm pastel tones of the drawers that give a soft yet playful atmosphere to the whole. The combination of open shelves and closed drawers provides space for displaying favorite items as well as storing everyday necessities.

A Cove with a Function

In addition to the custom-made bookshelf, Femke has created a functional cove. This cove, also upgraded with panel material from TOSIZE.it, not only hides cables but also serves as a subtle dividing line that distinguishes two spaces in the living room. The natural wood tone and sleek finish make the cove a stylish and practical element in the room.

The Benefits of Making it Yourself

Creating these projects yourself offers you a range of benefits. With the help of TOSIZE.it, you have flexible sizing and freedom in material choice. Designing and building it yourself ensures that the end result is completely to your liking; it's also cost-effective. You save on expenses that you would normally spend on ready-made furniture and have a unique item that no one else has.
