Looking for inspiration to personalize your home office? Then take a look at this project by Tim, where he created a beautiful and functional desk with a pine top and IKEA Alex drawer units. This desk is not only an eye-catcher in the study, but also strikes the perfect balance between functionality and style.

A custom desk gives freedom

Tim’s project is a perfect example of flexibility in sizing and choice of materials. He opted for a sturdy worktop made of pinewood, cut to size by TOSIZE.at. The warm color of the wood creates a calm and natural atmosphere in the study. The combination with the sleek white chests of drawers from IKEA Alex creates a modern contrast and gives the desk a unique look.

The construction of a functional office

The desk consists of a beautiful, thick pine carpentry panel, which rests on two IKEA Alex chests of drawers. The cabinets not only provide support, but also provide ample storage space with their versatile drawers. The choice of the 28 mm thick pine carpentry panel contributes to the desk's robustness and durability. The bright colour and natural wood texture enhance the sense of space in the study.

Why make your own desk?

Building your own desk like Tim did has many advantages. It allows you to choose the exact dimensions and materials that suit your needs and interior. It can also be a more affordable alternative to buying a ready-made desk. With two IKEA Alex chests of drawers and a custom panel made by TOSIZE.at you can create a personalized workspace that meets all your needs.

The style of Tim's office

The desk exudes a modern and minimalist style. The combination of the natural wood with the white drawer cabinets creates a neutral look that fits many interior styles. The freestanding design of the desk allows it to be placed in the middle of the room, which contributes to a feeling of openness.

Natural beauty of pine

Pine joinery is a fantastic choice for DIY projects. It is a natural material that adds warmth to your space and only gets better with age. Pine is a versatile wood that is easy to work with for a variety of projects and offers excellent value for money.
