But do not worry!
We have collected 12 DIY Built-In Bedroom Cabinets
Transformations Projects
to help eliminate clutter
while adding more style to your sleeping space.
As always, Simphome curates these recommendations
for you.
Number 12. A Cozy Nook to Hit the Books
Some bedrooms serve double duty.
They are not only a comfortable place to hit the sack
but also a perfect area to study or even pull an all-nighter.
Thus, you may find a home office in a bedroom.
Adding a home office in a bedroom is wise,
and if you want to have one,
you can try to make this cozy nook.
First, You can make this cozy homework station
by repurposing your unused closet.
Then, install the desk and cabinets.
Make sure they fit perfectly with the dimension of the alcove.
Then, apply the same color and trim
as the walls and baseboard.
This way, the desk, cabinet, and walls
look like flowing into one being.
Since the nook is not that spacious,
consider installing built-in lights like recessed cans.
You will also have to install nearby power outlets
and phone and data lines.
The process should be on your priority list
from the early stage of your planning.
Number 11. A Modern Farmhouse Bedroom Cabinet Idea
The modern farmhouse style offers a timeless charm
while maintaining a contemporary look.
Therefore, incorporating it into your bedroom
can be a terrific idea.
The good news is you do not have to make the cabinet
and dresser combo from scratch.
You can use IKEA Tarva and Sektion to create it, instead.
First, you must make the frame using 2x2
to separate the existing closet studs.
You will also need to install the cross supports
at the same height as the cabinet and dresser carcass.
Next, assemble the dresser.
You will find a huge gap between the dresser and the flooring.
Do not worry!
You only have to attach a 2x4 in between the front two legs.
After that, use 2x2s to construct the left-side wall.
Then, build and install IKEA Sektion right above the dresser.
Finally, install the doors, hardware,
and 1x8 tongue-and-groove boards for the siding.
Number 10. Blend Your Cabinet with the Wall
A fitted wardrobe is a good choice
for those who love to add a personal touch to their bedroom.
It usually stays flush with the wall,
creating an ultimate uniformity.
Besides, this cabinet design
will make the room look more elegant.
However, despite the perks a fitted wardrobe offers,
it also has drawbacks.
Since it stays flush with the wall,
it will take much time to install
compared to its freestanding counterpart.
Furthermore, you will have to spend a lot of money on it.
You will also find it hard to move it to a new location
because it is stuck to where it is now.
Number 9. A Built-in Cabinet with Shelving for a Nursery
Creating a floor-to-ceiling cabinet
that spans the entire length is fascinating.
Unfortunately, this idea may not properly work
because it can take up more floor space.
Therefore, you can opt for this corner built-in cabinet
and shelves instead.
This wardrobe combines an adjoining,
stepped-down shelving unit
to conquer the corner of the nursery.
Since the shelving unit is lower than the wardrobe,
you can access the small cabinet.
This wardrobe features beadboard paneling
and cast-iron hardware,
making it a perfect addition to your modern farmhouse home.
Number 8. A Built-in Side Cabinet Idea with extra Cubby
This built-in cabinet features a small cubby facing the bed,
making it a perfect substitute for a side table.
The Cubby allows you to set down your phone
and book instantly without leaving your bed.
Ideally, you need to make two of these
so they can flank the bed.
If you do, make sure you reverse the position of the Cubby.
This way, you can access it from both sides.
Number 7. Add Stylish Storage with Stock Cabinets
A Stock cabinet is your safe bet
if woodworking is not your skill
and investing in built-in is currently impossible.
You do not have to make your built-in from scratch.
Purchasing ready-made cabinets
and tweaking them as you please will do in a pinch.
Besides, stock cabinets are inexpensive.
You can find these unfinished cabinets at Home Depot,
Lowe's, and Menards.
However, you need to consider buying them from one location
to get a consistent look.
Once you have the prefab cabinets,
you can explore your creativity because the ideas are limitless.
For example, you can try making this bedroom storage
by topping the cabinet with a shelving unit.
Then, install the trims
and paint the sides the same color as the wall
for a united look.
Number 6. A Built-In Cabinets Idea with extra Window Bench
If your area has no light pollution,
this built-in window bench will be an ideal companion
for your "me" time.
Begin with getting a multipurpose stock cabinet.
Once you have installed the cabinets,
measure the gap between them to create the window bench.
After that, get your tools and plywood to make the bench.
Next, top the cabinets with butcher-block countertops.
After that, top each cabinet with a bookcase with a glass door.
Relevant to a bedroom door,
You know that you need more than that to protect your sanity
from a nasty outdoor outside your room, right?
Here, we have already published several lovely ideas
for our loyal readers on making a small bedroom smell fresh.
If you haven't checked that out, we highly recommend it.
Number 5. Let the Cabinets Flank Your Bed
These wardrobes will give your small bedroom
a more finished look.
As mentioned, the wardrobes flank the bed,
allowing you to jump in and out from both sides.
They also come in the same color as the ceiling and trim,
making them look united.
They also feature the same baseboard,
which offers a seamless transition
when you look at the wardrobes.
When you look up, you will notice crown molding
that eliminates an awkward gap
between the ceiling and the cabinet.
Number 4. A Contemporary Master Bedroom
with Built-In Bookshelves Idea
With the idea, you'll acquire two towers
of built-in shelving units flanking your bed.
For a more luxurious appearance, you can install wall molding.
Then, paint the shelving unit the same color as the wall.
You will also need to install crown molding
on each shelving unit to give a more finished look.
Since you aim for elegance,
try installing a copper sconce on each side of the shelving unit.
Number 3. A Built-In Cabinet Wall with IKEA Pax
This built-in cabinet serves double duty.
It offers plenty of space for your clothes,
bedding, and footwear.
Since the cabinets stand from one corner to the other,
it creates a single wall.
You only need to install shaker doors
that look like wall molding.
This way, you can get both storage
and decoration simultaneously.
Number 2. Turn Ready-Made Dressers into Bedroom Built-Ins
The problem you may encounter
when trying to turn a ready-made dresser
into a built-in one is the size and design incompatibility
with the existing furniture or fixture.
It is not flush well with the walls,
and the baseboard leaves a gap.
To overcome this problem,
you only need to cut the baseboard
so that the dresser can sit snugly.
If you still find any gap,
slip a 1x2 piece of scrap wood and secure it with nails.
Finally, install the baseboard to the bottom of the dresser
to make it built-in furniture.
