Office Furniture You Can Build Yourself


We don’t know about you, but the office is our favourite room in the house. It’s snug, quiet and has everything we need to get on with what we love. The best thing about a great office is good, solid furniture. Is there anything better than a heavy, mahogany desk? If you’re a neat freak like us, then you’ll want everything filed and stored away correctly too. That means investing in good quality shelving, cabinets and storage units.

Or does it? Not every piece of office furniture has to cost a fortune. In fact, much of it can be built yourself. If you’ve got a free weekend and a burning desire to build things, you can make your own. Your office will be even homelier if you fill it with homemade furniture. Let’s get started and take a look at the office furniture that you can build yourself.

Desk - Building your own desk seems like a mammoth task. It will be large, heavy and powerful in the room. However, they’re actually not so difficult to build. The hardest part will be finding the perfect piece of wood for the main section. If you’re struggling with the initial design, try searching for woodworking plans for beginners. They provide detailed drawings for you to work to. That way, you’re less likely to make a big mistake and you’ll build some experience.

Chair - A chair will be a little more difficult than the desk. Although it’s smaller, it has more fiddly parts to piece together. It will also need to hold a load on a much smaller scale. This will test your intricate skills, but will be well worth it. Find a solid piece of wood for the main part of the seat, then use a saw to cut equal length legs. You’ll need to piece it all together carefully with a sturdy back support.

Shelving - We thought we’d throw a nice easy one into the mix. Shelves are super simple and easy to put up, even for the DIY novices amongst us. A shelf was the first thing we ever built in our home and we’ve never looked back! Cut the appropriate length of wood and finish it with a good sanding and varnish. Get your hands on a pair of wall brackets and drill it all together. Simple!

Storage cabinets - If you’re anything like us, you’ll have tons of documents lying around. What you need are sturdy storage cabinets to hold everything. These are simple box elements that can be put together quite easily with the right tools. The tricky part will be getting the drawers to flow smoothly. However, the right bits of equipment will work wonders here. The best thing about building these yourself is that you can create a bespoke storage unit. You can build it to fit the exact size and space of your office.

There’s nothing on this list that couldn’t be built by a beginner with a little hard work. The first step is setting your mind to it. After that it’s all about planning correctly and getting your hands on the right tools. Good luck!

Over the last few months I realized that I have been accumulating a good number of  photographs of interior work - both ongoing and finished, on my phone and nearly none had found their way to this blog. The prime culprit - the thought that I will "one day" get a good photographer to cover "finished" interiors of the entire project/s and then put the best ones out here .... a "one day" that is yet to come :(

There is a lot that pictures communicate, not just how good (or bad) the interiors look but also insight into what goes into creating good designs - thus initiating and invigorating the viewers' own thoughts & ideas. What I also found was that while the western world has its  Houzz.com's and other websites, there is hardly ANY place that has insight into home interiors in the Indian context...let me explain what that means.

As Indians our needs are fairly unique and these need to be factored in while designing homes - things such as gas cylinders in the kitchen, a place for storing slippers in the foyer and a provision for people to sit and put their shoes on, false ceilings that need to take care of accommodating the ceiling fan (ask a westerner what a ceiling fan is and watch his expression), storage spaces in the kitchen for lines of boxes containing different spices - the small - small boxes that we have quite similar to the ones in the paan shop :), the puja unit, the jhoola in the living room... I could keep going on and on but I guess you get what I mean by design in an "Indian" context.

So back to the point - if you look around for ideas and pictures of designs that cater to our Indian needs you will hardly find much on the Internet. The facebook page of The Studio is an attempt to fulfill that exact gap - apart from getting all those photographs out from my phone that is :). It is also a forum I am experimenting with for a more continuous interaction with my readers (you).

I will be glad if you visit the page (it's at https://www.facebook.com/homedesignbangalore) and give me your feedback - a "like" if you like it or a comment if you see something amiss and want it added. Just be a little considerate as the content on the page is only what was added this afternoon after the page was created. Based on your feedback it will grow over time.

While it's said that a picture says a thousand words, sometimes those thousand words need to be written down for the best impact. Therefore this blog will continue to be THE medium for exchanging thoughts, questions & ideas. The Facebook page will serve as a medium of conveying some of those ideas through pictures. And both this blog and the Facebook page will interlink to bring you the best of each. Also, if YOU have any picture that conveys a unique idea/ thought or lifestyle then do please share and I will be more than happy to put that up ... just ensure that it is not copyrighted.

As always will welcome your feedback
