How to Transform a Table to a Desk

Perhaps you are a college student with not a lot of motivation for investing in great furniture, or perhaps you are simply on limited funds. Instead of spending lots of money on a desk, it makes sense to use what you have around you to cater to your furniture needs. If you have any old table lying around, you can turn it into a new workspace and desk. Here's how to transform a table into a desk. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    1

    Find a corner or area of your room where the desk will fit nicely. This should be a place where the potentially odd size of a table will not be a problem.

    2

    Think about where everything will go once the desk is set up. You want to think ahead for a place for the body of your computer, your printer, your files and your monitor.

    3

    Cover the table with a cloth that matches the decor of your room, or opt for a decorative form of contact paper to adhere to the desk. A decorative cloth over the table will be the easiest choice.

    4

    Place printer underneath the table for a hidden advantage that many desks don't have.

    5

    Place a filing cabinet underneath the table as well.

    6

    Place your computer monitor on your desk. Place a stapler, framed photographs, paper clips and any other organizers you have on your table. It should now be looking much more like a desk than a table!

    7

    Find a chair that lines up perfectly to the table This should be easy since most chairs are designed with this height in mind. Be sure to take measurements, and try things out before committing to a purchase.
