DIY Desk Designs You Can Customize To Suit Your Style

Whether working from home or needing a small space to take care of business, a home office or desk is essential. You have the freedom to organize and decorate this space however you want, even creating your own desk.

Building or designing your own desk is easier than you might think, especially if you can put together the desk using a counter top from Ikea and two small bookshelves. This is the Ikea hack shared by Sarah on Prettyprovince. Once you assemble these three elements, everything else is simple and fun.

Building your own desk is cheaper than buying one. For under $80, you can make this desk. Start by cutting wood boards to size.

You’ll need boards for the legs, under desk support, leg supports, and top boards. Putting the pieces together is simple, and you can find detailed instructions on completing this project on Welivedhappilyeverafter.

There are various ways to create a desk. Four crates stacked together can serve as the base, with a top added for a work surface and storage shelves.

One idea is to use salvaged walnut to create a chic wall-mounted desk. Attach it in front of a window, or in a corner. The raw edge top is beautiful.

This desk was previously featured on Designsponge and was custom made by Jared Rusten.

We found an interesting idea on Lizmarieblog. The article suggests using two barstools as desktop supports. Together, these elements create a desk that is both easy to assemble and customizable.

Two filing cabinets can serve the same purpose. Alex from Northstory demonstrates the beauty of a desk that utilizes this concept. Essentially, you can create a desk as long as desired, as long as the filing cabinets at the ends provide a straight and functional surface.

It is important to note that the desk top does not directly rest on the cabinets, but instead floats elegantly above them.

An idea shared on Strawberry-chic is to repurpose an old table as a desk. Disassemble the table and replace the hardware. You can also make small changes as desired.

Paint the table, choosing a bright color for the base, such as turquoise, and staining the top.

It’s possible to prefer a style that doesn’t fit most DIY projects and designs. Your style might be modern with a vintage twist. The desk on Forme-foryou is a good example. If you want to make something similar, order three-rod hairpin legs in raw steel and have a pine piece cut to size.

Sand and stain it in antique walnut.

If you want to build your own shelf desk, Atilio shows you how. Since it’s a wall-mounted desk, it has no legs, making the space under it more airy. Get a wooden board with the correct dimensions and two shorter studs and a long one.

Bolt the studs in the wall and place the board on top.

A wooden pallet can be transformed into a desk with ease. It is a cost-effective and straightforward idea. Use the pallet vertically as a support structure for the desktop.

Additionally, a shelf can be added on a different level.

This chic desk is something you can make yourself for your home. The transparent glass top is a nice touch. The project is presented on Dwellingsbydevore, where you can find details about the supplies needed, dimensions, and everything else.

You can apply similar principles when building a desk for your office. Wouldn’t it be more interesting and fun if everyone took part in such a team project? Abeautifulmess provides a detailed description of how to put together a great desk.
