How To Make Your Own Desk On Ikea

In my first office makeover, that Black White and Gold Office, I showed how to build your own Ikea desk with just three desk pieces. It only cost me $26! This Ikea desk has been the MOST versatile piece of furniture we’ve owned in the past couple of years! Here’s why…

It has moved with us THREE times and is still the best office desk we’ve ever wanted to own! If I were to update our current office, our desk wouldn’t be touched. And that’s saying something, because I loooove myself some new furniture buying excuses! Can I get an amen?!

And a large office desk is not a bad thing! Large desks, sometimes called “computer desks, ” can really help establish a room as an office as well as be the focal point of the space. But this large piece of furniture can ONLY be a desk.

In one rental, our two person office was also our guest room. But the room space was really kinda cramped when the air mattress was blown up. So we would move my desktop off my little DIY Ikea desk, over to my husband’s (Ikea) desk, and stick the table top and leg into the closet. Presto poof!

These table tops are super lightweight, you can also store them under a bed, under a couch, behind a couch, in the garage, or leaning casual and cool against the wall! (Fine art anyone?)

We actually have two Ikea table tops that we’ve used the past 5 years! For something that cost $20 each, that’s a pretty good piece of furniture investment!

Combine any of these individual desk pieces from Ikea to create the perfect look for your office corner! I’ve always been a fan of the trellis legs, but can we talk about that mid century leg for a moment please?!

If you’re looking for a richer office space try combining the warm wood top with the dark blue Alex drawer bottoms. Then add black accents and a black office chair to complete the masculine look.

I think bright and airy office spaces provide the most head space for getting things done AND feeling happy. A modern vibe office setup will totally get you there. Every piece of this is so simple yet so on point!

I’ve shared my Ultimate Guide to Office Desks here. There are so many cute, minimal office desks for sale, it is so true. Does every cute desk at Target, West Elm, and Pier One Imports turn my head? Um yes!

Ikea sells the perfect selection of pieces to build your own desk that fits your office and transitional home exactly like you need! I mean, truly, that’s what Ikea does best and why I LOVE buying home decor there.

I was looking online at Ikea one Saturday and saw they had a table top & leg/trestle section. I couldn’t believe it when I saw these trestle legs for only $10 each! And a37″ white table top selling at only $6! I was practically out of myhouse and in my car before you could say Swedish Fish, driving 36 minutes South on the interstate with only 2 hours till closing.

Diy Desks That Really Work For Your Home Office

Driving to Ikea last minute has become a weird habit of mine this past year… My husband usually says “um I’ll just stay here” when I get thecrazy Ikea lady look in my eye. So you might glimpse me turbo powering my cart through the shortcuts whileI’m in single-shopper-mode getting my ish so I can go home and put it together!

And these are really on the easy assembly chart. (I admit… I did screw one or two of the..err.. 6 parts.. on wrong. But that’s also a weird Ikea related habit of mine.) The table just lays flat on top!

The whole thing is prettysturdy in my opinion. I do believe it came with some screws to hold it all together, but I haven’t tried yet. My cats have jumped on and off it and I cant rest my arms on the edges without it budging. Though, I can imagine a toddler hanging on the unmounted sides ending poorly. Just food for thought.

Build Office Builtins With Ikea Cabinets

We’ve combined the trellis legs, two table tops, and a cabinet base to create a sturdy two person office desk that easily hold two desktops and all the office paraphernalia that seems to accumulate on top!

Ikea has a few more options for table legs + tops too, if they’re available in your area or online. Here’s what I’ve found so you can build your own Ikea desk too!

They have a great selection of table top options starting as low as the $6 I paid for the LINNMON top and higher for the bigger or solid wood tops. The trestle legs are just too cool! If you prefer a heavier look, the top two are just for you.

One even has a shelf for a plant or some notebooks. I added another option of using this ALEXdrawer unit. We have this one and it’s a fantastic option for under the desk on one or both sides! Dwell Beautiful used the rounded corner top in her office update recently, check it out here!

Does this help you plan your new office any better? It’s so nice to have an inexpensive desk option that is still stylish (and new!) Check back at THESE inspirational offices and note how many use these awesome legs!
