Make your own laundry basket cabinet and balustrade

Whitewash finish for a natural look

Not only the construction, but also the finish makes this project special. Menno opted for a subtle whitewash treatment, which preserves the natural look of the wood and accentuates the texture. A rustic accent in a modern environment, perfectly fitting in the home office.

Benefits of DIY

By doing it yourself, you have complete freedom in the dimensions of your project. Whether you have a wide or narrow space, with customization you can always achieve the perfect fit. In addition, you determine your own budget, because you save costs on labor and know exactly what you spend on materials.

Project Style: Modern Rustic

The choice of whitewash and the sleek lines of the construction give this laundry basket cabinet and balustrade a 'Modern Rustic' style. This harmonizes perfectly with both modern and rural interiors, making it appealing to a wide audience.

The power of pine wood panelling

Pine wood is popular for its strength and ease of workability. For this project, the 18mm pine panel was an excellent choice as it was strong enough to support the construction of the laundry basket cabinet and balustrade, while being light enough to work with easily.
