DIY Computer Desk | Cable Management, Storage, LED’s

0 saves

Computer desks can come in all different sizes and designs, as well as loaded with all kinds of features you may or may not need. I needed a bigger one because mine was old and really small for what I needed now. I had all theses grand plans to add wireless charging and built in USB and LED's. But the more I looked at it, that was all going to bloat the desk, then I had to find space for it all to go, plus it had to incorporate the design, and I still needed it to function at it's core for me for editing YouTube videos, my wives crafting, some gaming, and personal paperwork. So I stripped it back to those core reasons. Then I wanted it to be just big enough, no wasted space, but not heavy looking and too big for the room, so a corner desk was out, but a cabinet was in with a light looking leg on the room side to make it feel more open. LED's could still be added tastefully, but everything else seemed like gimmicks that will be replaced with new technologies in a couple years anyways, so I avoided them and this is what I was left with. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It has everything I need, nothing I don't, and serves it's intended purpose while looking great. You could still add things if you want later on too which is nice if you decided you really wanted it. You could also add metal trim accents if you decide (I still might), and you could change the colour and even wood species to suit your desires! I hope you enjoy it.
