DIY Floating Shelves & Desk

DIY floating shelves are one of the easiest projects you can tackle, even with limited DIY skills. We totally transformed this awkward nook in our daughter's room by adding floating shelves and a floating desk.

Supplies needed:

– Plywood – 1×6 pine board Stud Finder Straight edge Level Table saw Brad Nailer Nails Stud Finder Paint or stain

STEP 1

Measure the area where your DIY floating shelves will hang. Once you have your measurements, you are ready to cut your support pieces.

Install your support pieces. To do that, grab your stud finder and level. After finding the studs with a stud finder, we used a brad nailer with 2” brad nails to install each side and back support piece on the wall.

STEP 2

Cut the plywood for the shelves. Again, each of our shelves had slightly different dimensions because of the irregular walls (fun, fun) so we carefully measured each one before we started cutting.
