LOVE YOUR CORNERS

TAKE A NEW ANGLE ON MAKING THE MOST OF WASTED SPACE

-

The corners of a room can become the forgotten space in your home. As you fill up the walls with furniture, the corners usually get left to last and can feel a bit unloved. Show those corners that you care and put them front and centre by building a striking corner desk. Made using budget-friendly plywood and fixed to the walls so it seems to float, the angular design will not only make the corner the focus of the room, it will also let you utilise every precious piece of space in your place.
