Billy bookcase Room Divider

Materials: Billy Bookshelves, Moreno glass Doors, Benno DVD Shelves

Description: I built a 3 meter wide by 2.30 tall entry way and living room divider.

Entry way has a 2 Billy bookcase built with one unit with no back attached to the other. Inside the top part has a rod for coats and the bottom has a sliding part that holds 3 beer cases.

The middle is 10 Benno DVD shelves built 5 back to back.

The Moreno glass doors needed new mounting points drilled as they are not made for the DVD shelves. Center two are covered in fabric, rest with the white side out.

Top are custom boxes to fill out the space to the ceiling. All lights are by remote control.



Living room side:

Sub flooring cut free by the hardware store to provide the backing to the Billy units and provide wall for art work.

Top boxes custom cut for old speakers

Lack shelf unit mounted in a vertical position with another lack shelf attached with 2 legs to define living room from kitchen area.

  1. This is nice. I'd like to see more pictures of the entry side. I also would like to see closeup pictures of the bennes and billy insides as well as how the doors were hung. This looks like what I want to do to a large room I have. I want to separate it with a wall unit like this one.

    1. The doors attach further back into the sides of the Benno DVD cabinets. You have to apply masking tape to the sides and stand the door on supports at the right height. Then you can mark where to drill new holes for the door brackets. It is not easy and you really need a helper for the door hangings. The first double deep Billy cabinets are attached to the wall with each cabinet attached to each other by drilling the attachment holes before assembly of the cabinets. The Moreno doors attach easy to the the Billy cabinets as they are designed for them. It is hard to get good pictures due to space limitations in the area.
