Finished up this custom built-in desk today!
Every part of this project was built specifically for this space. The desktop was stained to match the existing hardwood flooring, and the base was color matched to the room’s trim for a seamless, built-in look.
I also incorporated a removable center panel to conceal cords and keep everything clean and organized, while all of the drawers are equipped with soft close undermount slides for smooth, quiet operation.
Projects like this are some of the most challenging because there isn’t any room for error. Fitting a piece precisely between three walls without damaging the existing paint or drywall during installation takes careful planning and precise measurements.
Thankfully, this one slid into place perfectly on the very first try.
