Children's desk and play corner with IKEA Smastad
Imagine the perfect space for your little ones to craft, play, and learn, all in their own play area. Sofie has made this possible with her beautiful DIY children's desk, completely custom-made using TOSIZE.at.
A Functional Play Corner
This project cleverly combines storage with a play and workspace. The custom-sawn wooden top creates a durable and sturdy workspace where children can comfortably express their creativity. Using IKEA Smastad cabinets as a foundation, Sofie created a multifunctional play area.
Style and Design
The warm look of the wood combines beautifully with the sleek, white finish of the cabinets. The children's chairs fit perfectly in the open space under the desk, contributing to a tidy look. This play area is located in the living room, perfectly integrated so the family can always be together.
Unique Features
Thanks to the option of having the wood cut to size at TOSIZE.at, Sofie was able to create exactly the style and dimensions she had in mind. This is one of the great advantages of making your own furniture: complete freedom in terms of size and style.
Scandinavian Style
The Scandinavian style not only exudes tranquility and simplicity but also makes the play area bright and inviting. The natural wood tones combined with white create a fresh and modern look.
Wood type: Timberboard Oak A/B
The selected wood species, Timberboard Oak A/B, offers a natural look that is both sturdy and stylish. It is easy to work and excellent for both furniture and decorative applications.
