20 Charming DIY Desks You Can Make

When you finish making your first homemade desk, you are going to feel so accomplished! Not only will you have a beautiful piece to display, but it’s also going to be functional, too. Here are a few tips to help you out along the way.

Double and triple measure everything. There is nothing more frustrating than figuring out your desk is too big for the space or cutting a piece of wood too long or short. So, do yourself a favor and repeatedly measure to ensure you can avoid this problem.
Have the tools you need before you begin. After you decide which desk you are going to make, go over the materials list very closely. Then be sure to have everything you need ready to go. This will save unwanted trips to the store later.
Make it your own! You can follow the directions very closely and still end up with something that is your own. Maybe you want to use fun, bright paint colors or add polka dots. Either way, go wild with your creativity!
