Need a desk for yourself or the kids but short on space? This clever hanging desk with storage is the perfect solution.
A friend of mine crafted hers using just two wooden boards and shared her simple method with me. I built one at home, and it was straightforward—no advanced skills required.
Ideal for weekend projects, it creates a functional workspace in tight spots. Watch the process below:
Contents 1. Purchase two oak planks from your local hardware store.
2. Have them cut into two 160 cm pieces for the top and bottom, plus two 15 cm side pieces.
3. Drill holes at even intervals across the width of the top and bottom boards.
4. Drill matching holes on the edges of the side boards for secure screwing, as shown:
5. Attach each short side to the bottom board with screws.
6. Mount the three L-brackets on the wall, ensuring perfect alignment.
7. Secure the top board to the brackets using the electric screwdriver.
8. Fasten the bottom board and sides to the top board.
Voila—your sleek minimalist wooden desk is complete! Quick, affordable, and far cheaper than store-bought options.
Apply wood oil for protection; it enhances the tone while keeping a natural matte finish.
I've been using mine daily for focused work, with ample storage for files and supplies.
