Sleek DIY sideboard with custom-made top for the living room, by Sebastiaan

Homemade sideboard that fits perfectly in a modern living room

Sebastiaan designed a remarkably sleek and functional sideboard and built it entirely himself. The piece is now a real eye-catcher in his living room. And the best part? Everything was custom-cut by TOSIZE.dk, allowing him to work with precision and ease.

Minimalist design with maximum effect

The sideboard has a modern, minimalist look thanks to its clean lines and handleless fronts. The doors fit seamlessly, creating a calm and stylish whole. The finish is painted entirely in a soft, grayish-green hue, which contrasts beautifully with the dark cast floor and the light wall behind it. The top is slightly recessed into the body and extends all the way around, creating a solid and finished feel.

Practical and stylish in the living room

The piece is placed against a long wall in the living room and fills the space perfectly. Not only does it add a considerable amount of storage space—think toys, tableware, or paperwork—the top is also used for decorative purposes: from glass vases to a graphic artwork and a brass candlestick. The result is a warm, personal atmosphere without visual clutter.

Unique features and smart choices

What truly sets this project apart is the attention to detail. For example, a fully continuous top was chosen, and the screws on the sides are subtly concealed. By choosing custom panels via TOSIZE.dk, Sebastiaan didn't have to do any sawing himself and could fully focus on assembling and finishing his design.

Customization pays off: your ideas, your measurements

Building something yourself has major advantages: you determine the dimensions, materials, and style. Using custom panels allows you to build exactly what you envision—without compromise. It also allows you to keep a tight rein on your budget. Sebastiaan demonstrates that custom-made furniture doesn't have to be complicated or prohibitively expensive.

Modern style

The style of this sideboard is best described as modern minimalist with a Scandinavian touch. The soft color, clean lines, and functional design create a sense of calm and simplicity. Ideal for a contemporary interior where ambiance and functionality go hand in hand.
