I have a cupboard in my living room.
It is just about big enough for a small office which is becoming increasingly important - my back and eyes are not enjoying sitting at the kitchen table much.
Here's the dimensions and proposed layout
The box shape is a filing cabinet that needs to live in there.
At the moment I have an ikea desk crammed in there but it isn't pretty. The walls are also very rough from where the old wardrobe type thing was in there.
Stage one of prep is to get some power and lighting sorted - I've been running an unsightly power and ethernet cable in there from a socket in the living room and relying on ambient light from my monitor which is also not great.
I'll be getting a sparky to install some power sockets (luckily we have a sub floor) and I have an IKEA float light panel which I'm hoping can provide some adjustable lighting depending on the time of day. Ceiling is probably best place for this - anyone used one?
After that I'll be putting some wallpaper up - something darkish to hide the imperfections as I really can't be fucked sanding and filling the whole thing
After that I want a nice slab of wood (maybe oak) for the desk, and some peg board for the wall above the desk (inspo below)
I'm keen to make it a floating desk style with no legs given space constraints. Anyone done something like that before?
