The double sided desk, designed by Pamela Porter is a very practical and functional piece of furniture; it is also easy to build on your own, using a double sided bookcase and attaching two horizontal boards on each side – the boards can be wide enough to be used as working surfaces and desks.

The double sided desk is space saving piece of furniture, which can be used in a children’s room, if you have two kids, or in your room, if you are a couple that needs working space at home.

The double sided desk allows you to work privately although quite close with the other person, having all necessary office items handy. The bookcase used in the construction can accommodate all necessary things and stationeries, allowing you to avoid cluttered desks. It is a harmonious arrangement that occupies minimum space and is very serviceable in any room of your house.

Multipurpose Desk Doubles as a TV Stand and Divider

Multipurpose Room Divider

Great modern style for minimalist enthusiasts

This double-duty room divider and entertainment unit by Bo Concept utilizes vertical space. Not only can it be used for the above choices but it can also provide workspace on top. This is an ingenious idea.

Though the multipurpose desk is quite expensive, ranging around $1500, I think this idea can also lend itself to carpenters and woodworkers. You could take this idea and create something like it for your small space.

Pretty cool, huh?

Anyway, it comes in white lacquer or black stained oak veneer.

Dimensions are of the multipurpose desk are: Height: 41Â½”, Width: 67″ and Depth: 18Â¾”.

Best of! Wall Mounted Storage Desks

contrib1 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:00:58 +0000

I’m in love with two wall mounted storage desks that I’ve found so far. One you can make for yourself which is very budget-friendly and the other you could buy and forgo all of the hard work.

I like this one just a little bit more than the one below and just about anyone can make it. Even the less savvy folks out there. The DIY instructions for this desk are availabe at Design Sponge.

Although I also like this desk from Design Republic, it’s not our favorite and I think the price range is a bit higher than what most people would like to pay (currently $720) Perhaps the price might go over better if the shelf for the desk didn’t have to be purchased separately (for $690 more)?

Am I the only one the thinks it doesn’t look too difficult to make a similar enough desk at a fraction of the cost?
