How to Build a Floating Bathroom Cabinet

Floating bathroom cabinets are a great way to add storage to your bathroom without taking up too much floor space. They are also a relatively easy project to build, even for beginners. With a few simple tools and materials, you can have a new floating bathroom cabinet in no time.

Materials:

1x12 pine board (cut to desired length)
1x4 pine board (cut to desired length)
1/2-inch plywood (cut to desired size)
Wood glue
1-1/4-inch wood screws
2-inch wood screws
Drill
Saw
Clamps
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions:

Assemble the frame. Cut the 1x12 pine board to the desired length for the frame of the cabinet. Then, cut the 1x4 pine board to the desired length for the sides of the frame. Assemble the frame using wood glue and 1-1/4-inch wood screws.
Attach the plywood back. Cut the 1/2-inch plywood to the desired size for the back of the cabinet. Attach the plywood to the frame using wood glue and 1-1/4-inch wood screws.
Add the shelves. Cut the 1x12 pine board to the desired length for the shelves. Then, cut the 1x4 pine board to the desired length for the supports for the shelves. Attach the supports to the frame using wood glue and 1-1/4-inch wood screws. Then, attach the shelves to the supports using wood glue and 2-inch wood screws.
Hang the cabinet. Once the cabinet is assembled, it is time to hang it on the wall. To do this, you will need to find two studs in the wall. Once you have found the studs, mark the location of the holes for the screws. Then, drill pilot holes for the screws. Finally, drive the screws into the studs and hang the cabinet on the screws.
Finish the cabinet. Once the cabinet is hung, you can finish it as desired. You can paint it, stain it, or leave it unfinished.

Tips:

Use a level to make sure that the cabinet is hung evenly.
If you are not sure how to find studs in the wall, you can use a stud finder.
Be careful when drilling the pilot holes for the screws. You don't want to drill through the back of the cabinet.
Make sure that the screws are driven in securely.

With a little time and effort, you can build a beautiful and functional floating bathroom cabinet. This is a great project for beginners, and it is a great way to add storage to your bathroom without taking up too much floor space.
