Make your own room divider with back wall, by Karen

How to close an open shelving unit for an organized bedroom?

Are you looking for an inspiring DIY project that not only makes efficient use of space, but also adds a stylish element to your interior? Karen did just that by transforming an open shelving unit into a closed room divider with a sleek back wall, ideal for her bedroom.

Material selection and preparation

For this project, Karen chose Lakboard 3mm, a versatile material perfect for a seamless finish. All the wood was precision cut to size by TOSIZE.at, with each plank and panel contributing exactly to the final structure of the room divider.

The construction of the room divider with back wall

Karen's room divider is not only a room divider, but also serves as a practical piece of furniture with storage space. By adding a back wall to the open shelving unit, a streamlined design was created that fits perfectly in her bedroom. The white lacquer board contrasts beautifully with the dark compartments for a modern look.

Unique customizations for a personal touch

Karen made her room divider unique by leaving some compartments open and providing them with stylish storage boxes, which gave the whole a playful effect. The other compartments are now nicely hidden behind the new back wall, which ensures a tidy look.

Functionality in the bedroom

The bedroom is the perfect place for this project. The cabinet not only functions as storage space but also as a stand for Karen's television and personal items. The closed back provides privacy and isolates against sound. The space-saving and multifunctional design is ideal for smaller spaces.

The benefits of self-build

By doing it herself, Karen was able to tailor the dimensions and choice of materials to her wishes. This meant that the project fit perfectly within her budget and she retained full control over the design. Making furniture pieces like this room divider with back wall yourself is not only satisfying, but also cost-effective and personal.

The stylish transformation

Karen's project is completely finished and radiates a contemporary and minimalist style. The room divider with back wall fits seamlessly into the modern bedroom, where the bright white color provides a fresh and open atmosphere.

The benefits of Lacquerboard

Lacquerboard 3mm is the perfect choice for projects like this. It is smooth, easy to work with and has a nice white finish that does not need to be painted. This material is also lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for a sleek look without compromising strength.
