In today’s post, I’m finally releasing the plans for my home office cabinets. Unlike some of the other cabinet plans I’ve released before, these plans are fully adjustable and will allow you to modify the dimensions to fit your space. The plans are actually an MS Excel file that you can download. The file allows you to customize not only the dimensions, but also the build method. You can select pocket screws or dados for the box construction. You’re also able to turn the added bead feature on or off. While I think beaded face frames looks killer, it adds a level of complexity that not everyone will want to try.
Office Cabinet Plans
To get access to the free plans, all you need to do is subscribe to our free newsletter. You can use the email sign-up button below. If you’re already a subscriber, you know where to get them. (I’ll email them out to everyone anyway!)
Since these plans are somewhat involved, I’ve also released a new video explaining some of the finer points of the plans. Here’s that video…

Here’s a list of parts you’ll need to build these cabinets. I’m not including some of the more basic tools like a table saw and a miter saw, since you can read my tool recommendations page for that stuff.
Office Cabinet Parts List
1. 1/8″ Radius Beading Bit (Optional: Only if you want a beaded face frame)
2. 1-1/2″ Kreg Notching Bit (Also only required for the beaded face frame)
3. Inset Hidden Hinges
4. Shelf Pins
5. Blum Inset Drawer Locking Devices (There’s a left one and a right one)
I’ll refresh this parts list if I think of anything else I forgot. You’ll also need drawer runners, but the plans will specify the exact part number once you punch in your desired cabinet dimensions.
Must-Watch Videos
In order to build these cabinet properly, you should familiarize yourself with at least two more videos in addition to the one above. They’re not long. Two of them feature this exact cabinet set so they are worth watching.
You should also refer to the main Home Office Cabinet Wrap Up post to see the progress of the entire project from start to finish.
I hope you enjoy the challenge of building these cabinets! This was one of my favorite projects so far in our new house. Good luck and if you get stuck or have a question, just leave a comment or shoot me an email.
R,
John
