DIY Children's Desk and Storage Unit in the Living Room, by Femke

Inspiration for a multifunctional children's desk

Looking for inspiration to create a multifunctional place for your child? Discover how Femke created a children's desk with storage in her living room using TOSIZE.se. A project where creativity, functionality and aesthetics come together.

The structure and appearance of the office

Femke's children's desk immediately catches the eye with the natural look of the 18 mm thick pine carpentry panel. TOSIZE.se has cut this sheet material to size, making it fit perfectly within the space of the living room. The clear finish with Rubio Monocoat in 5% white accentuates the wood grain and gives the furniture a fresh, modern look. Adding white storage boxes underneath increases the functionality without detracting from the design.

Unique details that make the difference

What makes this DIY project by Femke so special are the custom cutouts for personal storage drawers. The name labels not only give a personal touch, but also help organize toys and craft supplies. This creates a structured and tidy whole, which contributes to a calm atmosphere in the living room.

The benefits of building your own desk with storage space

Making a desk with storage space yourself, as Femke did, offers numerous advantages. Firstly, you can have the furniture made entirely to your wishes and custom-made, which is essential for optimal use of space. In addition, you have complete control over the choice of materials and finish, so that it fits perfectly with the style of your interior. Moreover, it is cost-effective; you only pay for the material and invest your own time and creativity.

The choice of pine carpentry panel

The pine carpentry panel used for this desk has several advantages. Pine is a soft wood known for its warm appearance and is easy to work and treat. It is also a sustainable choice due to its renewable qualities and affordability, making it ideal for home projects like this one.
