DIY stylish sofa-bed

Step 6Add walls to the sofa and do some painting

Add walls to the sofa and do some painting
To hide the legs of the sofa, I used a sheet of plywood.
First cut the thin plywood with the same height of the sofa.
Attach the plywood to the center part with 2 screws (as shown in the picture).
Then SLOWLY bend the wood until it touch the corner of the sofa (I take 5 minutes to do it. If you do too quickly the wood can brake)
Attach the plywood to the corner of the sofa with 2 screws.
Repeat the steps for the other part of the sofa.
You can also use remaining parts of the pieces of wood to add a door to your home theater box.
Paint the hometheater box with black paint (better if it's matt) and the plywood with white paint.
I also put some grey fabric on the floor of the home theater box to hide the metal bars.
When the paint is dry you can cover the cutted square with a piece of wood.
TIP: If you must acces inside the sofa you can simply remove 2 screw from the corner

how did you know the length of the curved board? Did you just attach it to one end and then bend it into place and then cut it?

I suppose you can use a tape measure along the curve...
