Got an office that simply won't look neat and tidy, no matter what you try? Do you have a "corner of chaos" brimming over with all sorts of things that don't have a designated cupboard space, with new things added to it daily? Then we have the perfect solution for you: a screen - covered in a material of your choice - which blocks out those unsightly corners.
We will take you through making your own screen, step by step:
Step 1: Cut the wooden slats
First, you need to cut the wooden slats. You will need two long (vertical posts) and two short (horizontal posts) wooden slats for each panel of the screen, which will combine to form the whole panel.
Step 2: Sand and stain the surfaces
Sand the rough surface of the slats with sandpaper and stain them to match your choice of fabric.
Step 3: Secure the slats
Now it is time to screw the wooden parts together to assemble three whole frames. Stapling the wooden slats together before securing them with screws can help to keep them stable.
Step 6: Attach the hinges
The last step is to connect the three wooden panels with hinges. The hinges need to be affixed in alternating positions so that the screen can stand with the panels arranged in a zigzag. The first two panels are attached with hinges to the front edge of the frames, with the hinges between the second and third element attached to the rear side of the frames.
You can check YouTube to see exactly how it should look. And now your office seems much tidier, right? Of course, you can also make a screen for your home. On the hunt for other great DIY ideas? Then you should check out the Novus website!
