Your custom MDF wardrobe

At Maatkasten Online, you have complete freedom to choose the colors of your custom wardrobe, both for the exterior, interior, and the shelf. There are 23 different color options, including MDF. Only for the visible exterior and the shelf can you opt for MDF.

So, if you choose the MDF option, your doors, infill panels, and/or upper shelf will be made of MDF. This gives you the freedom to paint the visible exterior of your custom wardrobe as you wish, while this is not necessary for the interior.

Painting your MDF wardrobe

With a custom-made MDF wardrobe, you determine the unique appearance of your furniture. Do you want the same color as your walls? Or would you prefer a wardrobe with textured paint for a concrete look? Perhaps a shelf with a microcement finish appeals to you? The possibilities are endless. Consult your paint specialist for achieving the desired effect. Discuss the primer, the number of paint layers, and the use of a brush or roller – your paint specialist has the right tips!

The MDF from Maatkasten Online is brown MDF with a white lacquer-carrying film. This film acts as a primer, reducing the absorption of paint by the MDF. In most cases, it is still advisable to use a primer.

To ensure the durability of your custom wardrobe, it is wise to paint both the inside and outside of the panels. This additional step not only minimizes the risk of warping but also ensures that your wardrobe remains aesthetically pleasing for an extended period.

Wardrobe with vertical grooves for a modern rural look

Are you looking for a wardrobe that perfectly complements your modern rural interior? Consider a custom wardrobe with vertical U-grooves. This special option creates a beautiful interplay of lines and is only available on MDF cabinets.

Here's how to add grooves in the configurator:
Select MDF for the exterior finish in STEP 4. Go to 'options' and choose grooves. These grooves will be nicely distributed across the width of your custom wardrobe. If you want more or fewer vertical grooves on your doors, feel free to let us know when ordering your wardrobe.

Recessed Handles: Exclusive to an MDF wardrobe

With an extensive range of as many as 32 handles, there is no shortage of choice. Whether you lean towards a subtle, small handle or a striking one, your favorite handle gives the custom wardrobe the perfect finishing touch. For a streamlined look, you can also opt for a handle-free Push-to-open system (also known as the Tip-on system). Only with MDF cabinets do you have an additional handle choice: Recessed handles.

Recessed handles

If you love an elegant and chic appearance, these recessed handles are the perfect option. You can choose between 2 types of recesses:

Short recess: Your handle is recessed by 30 cm, with the top of your handle at a height of 1 meter.
Long recess: Your handle is recessed to the ground, with the top of your handle also at 1 meter height.

TIP: Combine this with doors that extend to the ground for a luxurious result. This is possible in STEP 4. Go to 'options' and choose to make your doors extend longer to the bottom and top.
