Home Office Desk Blueprint with Storage Shelves

Overall material utilization factor - 34.73 %
Total edge banding length - 9.93′ (32.592 m)
Total cutting length - 18.46′ (60.576 m)

Description by Flatma:

This project features a compact workstation desk with an integrated shelving tower. The design combines a vertical storage column with open shelves and a clean rectangular desktop supported by a side panel. It is suited to small studios, student rooms, or a modern home office where floor space is limited. The desk plans focus on efficient sheet‑goods cutting and simple joinery, providing clear desk blueprints for a straightforward build. The shelving bay can be oriented left or right, and the open layout simplifies cable routing. After detailed review, the blueprints and full cut list can be downloaded.

Construction Features

The construction uses 16 mm laminated particle board (chipboard). Sheet sizes referenced in the model are 2070 x 2800 mm (81.5 x 110.2 in) and 1830 x 2750 mm (72.0 x 108.3 in). Typical desktop height can be set around 29–30 in (740–760 mm), with shelf spacing adjusted to your storage needs. Total planned cut length is about 60.576 m (198.8 ft) and total edge banding length is about 32.592 m (107.0 ft). Material utilization in the draft layout is approximately 34.73%. The shelving tower stabilizes the structure, while a side panel supports the free end of the top for a rigid yet minimal form.

Materials and Hardware

- Laminated particle board, 16 mm: finishes noted as U504_9 and H1615_9 (contrasting blue and wood tone) - Edge banding 1 x 19 mm applied to visible edges - Assorted fasteners for casework assembly: approximately 12 connectors, 4 angle brackets, 2 support fittings, and 16 screws - Optional items: shelf pins, cable grommet, leveling feet, wall‑anchoring brackets

Customization Options

- Mirror the layout (tower left or right) - Modify desktop length/depth and shelf spacing - Add doors, drawers, or a keyboard tray - Substitute materials (MDF or plywood) and choose alternative edge banding - Include cable management, lighting, or wall anchors for tall installations The project can be adapted to individual room dimensions and tooling preferences.
