A self-made complete kitchen made from multiple sheet materials, by Jan

In this DIY project, Jan shows how he made a complete kitchen himself with custom-sawn panels. He ordered four different materials in multiple orders. The result turned out beautiful! Read more about his experience and approach below.

Kitchen cabinets, fronts and top

How I made this project

A sketch and layout were made based on the dimensions of the space and standard drawers (Blum). Hulls made of black waterproof MDF (18mm). First the upper cabinets, hung and then the bottoms. Wall cabinet fronts made of walnut veneer (18 mm). In close consultation with customer service (Bauke!). From one sheet with a continuous grain (so not necessarily sawn in the most effective way, but in consultation a lot was possible). Fronts and bottoms made of HPL plywood (18 mm). Very strong and with a beautiful edge finish. Finally, the top of waterproof plywood (finished with concrete ciré).
