A Functional Workplace for the Children's Room
Looking for a beautiful and practical addition to the nursery? Gabriela designed a beautiful desk that fits perfectly within the space of her nursery. Discover how you can easily get started yourself with custom-cut wood from TOSIZE.se.
The Design in Detail
This dark grey children's desk is not only stylish, but also extremely functional. The desk is constructed from sturdy, custom-cut MDF Primed boards that ensure a high-quality finish. The clean lines and modern design make it a real eye-catcher in the room. The dark shade of the surface adds a touch of elegance to the playful atmosphere of the room.
Perfectly Placed Under the Window
The desk is cleverly positioned under the window, allowing plenty of natural light to enter while drawing, crafting or studying. This strategic placement ensures that the space is used optimally, while at the same time creating a cozy corner where children can enjoy themselves for hours.
Features of the Design
In addition to the practical layout, there is sufficient storage space under the desk. This keeps the workplace neat and tidy. The combination of white and dark grey provides a timeless look, while the use of high-quality MDF Primed guarantees sturdiness.
The Benefits of Making It Yourself
Gabriela chose to do the work herself, using custom-cut wood from TOSIZE.se, which gave her the freedom to tailor the design to her exact needs and requirements. Having the wood custom-cut not only makes the DIY process easier, but also more efficient.
Scandinavian Style
The end result exudes a calm, Scandinavian style. This is due to the combination of the light wood on the inside in contrast with the dark finish on the top. The simplicity and functionality come together perfectly, which creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.
Benefits of MDF Primed
MDF Primed is the ideal choice for this type of project, thanks to its smooth finish that you can easily paint in any colour you like. It is also highly resistant to scratches and knocks, meaning it will stay beautiful for a long time - perfect for a busy child's room.

Step by step guide
Preparation
- We assembled 2 Ikea Trofast cabinets on either side of the room and then measured how big the top should be.
Montage
- We attached the top to the cabinets with mounting adhesive.
Finish
- The top is sanded, degreased and has a layer of primer and a layer of lacquer. Lacquered in the color Hearth by Shades by Eric Kuster.
Tips from Gabriela
Make sure you lightly sand the wood before painting it. This will ensure better adhesion of the paint layer and an even more beautiful end result.
