Brief I was approached by my customer to build a bespoke plywood bathroom cabinet. The brief was for the piece to wrap around an existing mirrored bathroom cabinet and provide extra storage. I am very please with the outcome and how it has transformed the mirror into a focal point of the bathroom.
Design Process Initially the customer wanted two individual shelves to sit alongside the mirror, but after discussions we ended up creating a ‘frame’ that would sit around the existing mirror and hide the unsightly top and bottom panels of the cabinet. I also added a routed channel underneath the bottom shelf for an LED light strip to be installed.
3D Sketchup Model As with all my bespoke plywood furniture projects, i first created the design in the 3D building programme Sketchup, which enables you see the piece in full three dimensional form. It is a great tool for showing customers and even has an augmented reality feature to see it in situ via your mobile phone screen.
Materials / Build
My customer decided to have the bespoke bathroom cabinet made from cherry plywood, which has a beautiful warm colour and matched the proposed bathroom decor. As this piece is going in a bathroom setting, lacquer was applied to protect it from water spills and splashes.
All my bespoke plywood furniture pieces are handmade in my workshop in Perranporth. If you are looking for a bespoke bathroom cabinet like the one above, or anything else please feel free to get in touch. You can view more of my bespoke plywood furniture pieces here
