Saw

Sealer

Wood Glue

Step 1

Measure the space the cabinet will go in from floor to ceiling. We will build an 8 foot tall cabinet that stands from floor to ceiling. The best aspect of having such a tall cabinet is that you can store things you don’t use frequently on the higher shelves.

Step 2

Cut the wood to the right size. Cut two pieces of wood to measure 8 feet tall and 3 feet deep. These two pieces are the side of your cabinet. Now, cut the top and bottom into 2 foot deep and 5 foot wide sections.

Step 3

Use wood screws and glue to secure the sides of your cabinet together to the top and bottom. Use about four screws on each side. Ensure the top and bottom pieces fit inside the side pieces of the cabinet. When you view the cabinet from the side perspective, you should not be able to see the top or bottom of the cabinet.

Step 4

The shelves should be places in at a distance of 18 inches apart. The extra shelves and space in your cabinet can be used for almost anything. You can place towels, linens and more inside your cabinet.

Paint or stain your wooden cabinet to whatever color suits your décor and personal tastes. Allow the paint to completely dry. Once the paint dries, treat the cabinet with a sealer. This will protect the cabinet from moisture damage and rotting.

Step 6

Accessorize your new storage cabinet. You can use baskets, silk flowers and other small items to spruce it up. You can place items according to their use and convenience factor to you.
