Flatpack to custom wardrobe

[Renowayoflife]

We have been wanting / needing to renovate our walk in wardrobe but kept putting it off due to the price of cabinets as I wanted a custom look. I decided in the end to purchase a number of units off the shelf and customise them to create a space that is perfect for us.

You can see the full video Below.

We bought 

• 4 drawer units
• 4 hanging units
• 2 Corner Unit
• 2 Shelving units
• 4 glass drawers

To create the vanity area we cut down the drawer units to the height of the top drawer, we reinforced it and added a stone top we found on market place. 

The biggest tell that your cabinets are flatpack is the join where the two cabinets meet so we added pine trim, once again off the shelf from Bunnings to the top, bottom and in between each of the units.

We added strip lighting to the shelves and units.

I didn't fix the  back panel to the hanging cabinets of the wall cabinets and instead painted the wall behind the cabinets, making the whole room feel larger. As we removed the back panel we ensured the cabinets were all securely screwed to the wall and to each other to reduce movement.

Then I filled and decorated, I dried some lavender from the garden for the prints.

I've added some photos below.

Hi @Dave-1 Thank you!

We added strip lights behind the trim we added around the boxes. This way it adds a soft glow back into the shelves.
