Make a DIY children's desk IKEA hack, by Jouri

Design your own Children's Desk and Play Table

Looking for a unique way to add a personal and practical touch to your children's play space? Get inspired by Jouri's creative project in which he created a multifunctional children's desk and play table. This custom piece, carefully sawn by TOSIZE.dk, shows how you can create a unique space for your little ones with a little imagination and a few IKEA products.

A perfect match at home

This special creation by Jouri fits seamlessly into the living room, where it not only serves as a spacious play area for the children, but also as a stylish piece of furniture. With its neutral color palette and clean lines, it forms a calm base where children can draw, craft and play to their heart's content.

Customize with TOSIZE.dk

OPMAATZAGEN.nl has ensured that all wooden parts of the children's desk are sawn to size. This saves time and ensures a sleek and professional result, where no detail has been overlooked.

The benefits of making it yourself

By putting together and building this desk himself, Jouri had complete control over the dimensions and use of materials. This customization not only ensures a perfect fit in the living room, but was also considerably cheaper than a comparable standard piece of furniture.

The unique details of this Children's Desk

Jouri chose a combination of sturdy pine carpentry panels on a base of white IKEA cabinet parts, with which he not only created a beautiful contrasting look, but also integrated the practical storage function. The top of 28 mm thick pine adds a sense of solidity, while the 18 mm panels provide a streamlined finish.

Scandinavian simplicity highlighted

In its final form, the project exudes a sleek, minimalist style that is characteristic of Scandinavian design. The wooden texture of the pine top harmonizes with the white cabinet base, giving the whole a calm yet playful atmosphere.

Pine Carpentry Panel 28 mm

The choice of a 28 mm thick pine carpentry panel is not only aesthetically appealing, but also functionally sustainable. Pine wood is known for its warm appearance and the natural texture contributes to the homely atmosphere.

Pine Carpentry Panel 18 mm

The 18mm thick pine panels used as a complement provide soft lines and a refined finish, making it a child-friendly choice. The natural character of pine is also evident here, bringing a sense of calm and continuity to the design.
