Welcome back! Get ready to unlock the full potential of your home with our following ingenious seventeen DIY Projects and Storage initiatives.

No 17. Three Media Console hacks. Are you looking for an affordable and stylish media console? Look no further than the Ikea Kallax shelf unit! However, if the design feels terrible with your rustic interior design, you can turn a bookcase and Expedit into a practical storage unit, according to the Honeybearlane.com initiative. Alternatively, you can build a rustic TV stand with ample storage space for DVDs, game consoles, and accessories. While this option is practical, it may not be the most visually appealing. However, with that said, if storage functionality is all your concern, the next idea is offering an interesting combination.

Let’s take a look at No 14. A Media Console idea with drawer slides. Do you want to know how to correctly and quickly install drawer slides for the first time? Here are a few tips to get you started. First, use a 2×4 when attaching the drawer slide to the frame. This will help you align the slide properly and ensure it is secure. Next, when installing the drawer slide to the drawer box itself, use 1/4 inch plywood to space the drawer box. This will help you position the slide correctly and prevent any wobbling. Another trick is to secure the drawer slides to the drawer box while it’s in place. This will save you from guessing the correct space and ensure a perfect fit. Lastly, slide the drawer box and rails out to fully secure the rail and test it out.

Let’s move on to No 13. A Bookshelf Inspired By Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of The Great USA. Imagine having stackable bookshelves you can easily move around when you want to switch things up! That’s what a dad did when he decided to create his own set of Jefferson book boxes. He used pine plywood and ensured they fit perfectly by cutting jig joints into the sides of the wood. He also added a fabulous finishing touch by using a blowtorch to make the edges darker before sealing them with shellac. The second project is just as impressive, using steamed beech and featuring over 120 individual joints with hand-cut dovetails. The author shares some helpful tips, like building the cases in one shot for consistency and using a Moxon vise for precision sawing.

Now, let’s move on to our second set of DIY projects and storage initiatives.

H3 Subheading 2.1

No 12. A DIY OFFICE DRAWER CABINET. To build this cabinet, you will need to have plywood sheets cut into manageable sizes, a track saw, a pocket hole jig, and pocket screws. Once you have cut all the parts, including 2 sides, top, bottom, and toe kick cut from 3/4 inch plywood, assemble the cabinet with 1-1/4″ pocket screws. Then, use a groove to fit the bottom panel and assemble the drawers using 1/2-inch plywood. After that, install the drawer slides and boxes using spacers and screws. Consider adding plastic file hanger rails for the bottom drawer if you want to use them as a file cabinet.

H3 Subheading 2.2

Moving on to No 11. A DIY CABINETS AND MODULAR DESK Idea. To build file cabinet drawers, cut plywood to size, assemble using pocket holes, then install drawer slides. After installing the drawers, add the top to the cabinets. The cabinet is 30″ in height in our sample, with an extra 3/4″ top. To provide wiggle room, our author cut adjustable shelves about 1/4″ shorter in length than the width of the inside of the cabinet.

H3 Subheading 2.3

Now, let’s explore No 10. An inspiring Modular storage cabinet with extra hole magnets. These modular cabinets designed by Nick and Lee are perfect for organizing any room. The cabinets are made from sturdy oak or maple plywood and can easily be taken apart and reconnected to fit your needs. And if you want them to stay together, just add some super strong Neodymium Disc Countersunk Hole Magnets to hold them in place. These versatile cabinets are sure to make your life easier and your space more organized!

Let’s continue with our third set of DIY projects and storage initiatives.

H3 Subheading 3.1

No 9. A sliding door storage idea (without a dedicated slider mechanism, so you can save more money). Are you tired of constantly searching for the right cure for your clutter? Then, build a storage cabinet with sliding doors to organize them all. First, get the Wall Cabinet With Sliding Doors plan for $6 from DIYMontreal. Cut six panels and make the 1/2-inch tracks for the sliding doors. Optionally, edge band the panels. Assemble the cabinet and mount it on the wall. Add a simple sliding door mechanism and simple finger pulls for easy access. Lastly, pop in the doors by pushing them up into the top track, then dropping them down into the bottom track to finish the job.

Let’s take a look at No 8. MoModul’s Unique Modular Cabinets Idea. MoModul is a modular storage system designed by Xavier Coenen. With no nails, screws, or tools necessary, the system uses three different types of modules with slits allowing you to connect them to create unique and customizable configurations. Constructed entirely of birch plywood, you can build complex systems of shelves or other furniture pieces without limitations. MoModul is versatile and can be used for bookshelves, coffee tables, media cabinets, and more. So, the next time you get bored, you can easily disassemble the system and create something new!

H3 Subheading 3.3

Now, let’s explore No 7. IKEA Ivar hack for a more customized Open shelf idea. To start, check the wood to ensure the best-looking pieces are on the outside. Use suitable wall anchors to hang the cabinets and tune the hinges to close the gap between the two doors. Replace the hinges with Blum 170° full overlay screw-on hinges for a wide opening. For open shelves, attach two cabinets and use one set of doors partly covering them. Alternatively, cut the doors or create an opening between two cabinets and cover the sides with wood. Paint the cabinets to match your decor.

Let’s move on to our fourth set of DIY projects and storage initiatives.

H3 Subheading 4.1

No 6. A DIY SLIDING BARN DOOR CABINET Idea WITH DRAWERS. Start by building the frame and adding adjustable shelf pin holes. Use the Kreg Drawer Slide Jig to attach the drawers easily. For the door, add 3D effects to your planked door and barn door hardware that Shanty-2-Chic recommended. Don’t forget to add your own DIY door pull and finish the cabinet with a two-tone finish, like Pink Shadow by Sherwin Williams, for a soft pink look touch.

H3 Subheading 4.2

Next, let’s explore No 5. A Furniture Concept by Arquiteknia. These unique furniture pieces by Arquiteknia are designed to be versatile and adaptable to your needs.

Now, let’s move on to our fifth set of DIY projects and storage initiatives.

H3 Subheading 5.1

Let’s start with No 3. A Foldable C Table Project Idea. Looking for an adjustable and portable table? Try making this foldable C table using only 3 ¼” plywood. Cut the plywood into the necessary parts for the frame, legs, and top. Use a palm router to make half-laps on each end of the cuts. Sand all the parts and attach the legs to the frame and top using piano hinges. Finish with three coats of oil-based varnish.

H3 Subheading 5.2

Next, let’s explore No 2. A Foldable Stool for Extra Seat Idea. This foldable stool comes from just one board and a wood dowel. To copy the project, first, cut out four parts: the top, center leg, outer ‘U’ shaped leg, and hinges. Make the ends of all the leg pieces round and slide dowels into the side channels on the center leg. Attach the hinges underneath the top and assemble the top to the legs by driving the dowel through the holes aligned with the corresponding hinge.

H3 Subheading 5.3

Finally, let’s take a look at No 1. “All I own house Project Idea” with a Little More Environmental tweak. The All I Own House project shows how personal belongings can reflect one’s personality and emotions. The design uses custom-made, transformable containers that suspend from an industrial railing system to arrange all the storage in the house. This creates infinite home options within one home. The containers are from ESB Panels, instead of OSB plywood, which is solely from virgin wood without any harmful additives, making them an eco-friendly option. Each container is mobile, making the most of the space available.
