How to make your own shelf nook

Don’t let a small space cramp your style. Transform an unused area in to a dedicated working space. This wall mounted desk takes up very little space and is perfect for a chic, minimal look.

Materials you will need:

• Pine Lam Shelf (1200 mm x 400 mm) — 283097 (Cut to size at Builders)
• Vormann Stayed Bracket White (400 mm x 250 mm) — 38129

Step 1

Varnish the top, bottom and sides of the shelf, and allow to dry.

Step 2

Measure and mark the shelf for the bracket, place the bracket on the shelf and mark the drill holes.

Step 3

Drill on the marks. Do not drill completely through the wood.

Step 4

Place the bracket over the holes, and attach it to the shelf with wood screws. Repeat with the other bracket.

Step 5

Place the shelf against the wall, and use a spirit level to ensure it is straight.

Step 6

Make markings on the wall through the secure holes on the brackets and drill on the marks. Securely place the wall plugs in the holes.

Step 7

Screw in the screws through the bracket and into the wall to secure the shelf. Repeat with the second bracket and set up your new shelf!
