A Creative Workplace in the Bedroom
In Pieter's bedroom we find a thoughtfully designed desk with bookcase, made entirely of Maple B/BB Veneered hardwood plywood . This calm and inspiring space is a perfect place for concentration and creativity. The desk is positioned to receive sufficient natural light from the window, making the space bright and pleasant.
Custom Handmade Furniture
Pieter chose to make a desk with a bookcase , where each part is precisely cut to size via OPMAATZAGEN.nl . This compartment bench not only offers sufficient storage space for books and accessories, but also ensures a neat and tidy workplace.
Design and Color
The design of the bookcase meets both practical and aesthetic requirements. The clean lines and natural wood colour of the plywood hardwood match beautifully with the blue wall, creating a calming atmosphere. The design is further enriched by the strategically placed compartments, which provide a playful yet balanced appearance.
Why does the design fit perfectly here?
This solution makes optimal use of the square meters in the bedroom, without compromising space or aesthetics. The desk with bookcase is integrated into the niche of the room, so that no space is lost. This not only makes the room functional, but also offers a place where Pieter can retreat for study or work.
Benefits of Making Your Own
The biggest advantage of making a project like this yourself is the complete control you have over the design and execution. You can completely customize it to your own wishes in terms of dimensions and choice of materials. By choosing Maple hardwood plywood B/BB , you get a durable and stylish look.
Style: Minimalist and Warm
In this project, a minimalist style with warm accents was chosen. The natural look of the plywood creates a calm environment that is ideal for concentration. The simplicity of the design ensures that the space does not feel absorbed or chaotic.
The Benefits of Maple Hardwood Plywood
Multiplex hardwood Maple offers a number of attractive advantages. It has a beautiful, light appearance that can easily be combined with different interior styles. Furthermore, the material is easy to work with and very durable, making it ideal for furniture that needs to be able to withstand a knock or two.

Step by step guide
Preparation
- Measure and order everything. I had forgotten to order two parts, but luckily I had the rest delivered. I could easily remove the two side panels of the bookcase. In the desk I made a half-circle hole for the cables with a hole saw. I made this neat with a file. Unfortunately my walls were even more crooked than I thought and I still had to remove a 1cm strip from the desk top. With a circular saw and a strip of tape over it, this went well.
Montage
- Everything screwed together. That is quite a precise job, but with a good right angle and some insight it works fine. I used Dynaplus screws here, with a self-drilling point (everything pre-drilled). Actually intended for with, but worked very well. For the attachment to the wall I used a number of Heracles brackets from Wovar. Nice black and very strong. The brackets should be able to carry a total of more than 1,000 kg, so I am not worried about the strength.
Finish
- Before I hung everything, I sanded the edges thoroughly to make the plywood layers stand out nicely. I also considered oiling the edges. That looks nice, but I was afraid that I would also take the top layer and that is not nice.
