"One essential for almost every home office is a desk, but it can be tough to find one that fits your aesthetic and functional needs. Fortunately, with a little creativity you can make yourself a sleek floating desk from an IKEA SÄLJAN countertop and some hardware. Of all the modern home office ideas you never saw coming, this one might really surprise you with its combination of utility and sleek looks. The magic here literally rests on some steel pipes mounted to the wall."
"The 1 ½ inch thick laminate board sits atop the pipes and mounts, making them invisible so it appears like you're working on a floating surface. The SÄLJAN countertop is 25 ⅝ inches deep and comes in 74- and 98-inch lengths and four colors to suit any space. Looking for a desk large enough to share? Use the larger size to create a home office for two."
An IKEA SÄLJAN countertop can become a sleek floating desk by mounting black iron pipes and floor flanges to the wall and placing the 1½-inch laminate board atop them, hiding the supports. The SÄLJAN countertop measures 25 ⅝ inches deep and comes in 74- and 98-inch lengths and multiple colors; the larger size can accommodate two users. Cutting the board short removes the factory-finished edges, which can be concealed with molding or rubber trim but may compromise the floating appearance. The build requires several ¾-inch black iron pipes, floor flanges, conduit straps, basic tools, and can be completed in a day.
