This stylish and beautifully functional versatile desk allows you to customise its layout to suit your needs, whether that’s pattern making, crafting, sketching, planning, working or studying. The options are endless. The large surface area means the world is your oyster and you can spread out as much as you like – or even allow two people to work at once – as well giving you plenty of room to have all your equipment close to hand. No more working at the kitchen bench or dining room table!
The setup is also very handy even if you don’t have a dedicated office space as it can be moved and modified easily – plus it looks great thanks to its smart Resene paint and stain finishes. The two-piece desktop is built from plywood and pine and sits over a thrifted cabinet, so is the perfect balance of upcycling and building.
These desks can be rotated and pulled together for versatile use and can also be rotated the other way, with the cabinet at the front and legs at back towards the wall. If this looks like the piece of furniture your home has been screaming out for, read on for full step-by-step instructions.
Top tip: If you prefer a more natural wood look, use Resene Aquaclear direct onto the timber or add a lighter Resene Colour Enhance colour to it. For a relaxing Hamptons-style look, swap the Resene Aquaclear to Resene Colorwood Whitewash or one of the Resene We Speak Beach colour stain washes. These will add a lovely soft washed look to your timber, which is still easy to wipe clean.
