There are more and more people working from home these days and for most of us when working we need a place that offers peace and quiet so we can concentrate on what we are doing. A good quality desk is the bare necessity when furnishing a home office if it is going to work for you; here are a few of the different designs available.
All work spaces need a desk, and the best place to find one is online where prices are much lower than regular high street stores and the choice is huge. Online merchants deliver, often for free, so there is no need to waste time searching the shops, then trying to get it to fit in the boot of your car and having to assemble it once you get it home!
Online merchants are also quick to process payments and deal with enquiries regarding sizes and materials, or any other questions you may have. In fact buy all your office furniture this way and save a lot of time and energy - and it's more environmentally-friendly as there is less gas used and energy overall.
Whatever you need, a simple desk and chair, bookcases and filing cabinets, or printers and fax machines, it's all online for convenience and affordability. A good quality computer desk is crucial for the working day with enough space to fit your computer on, some models also offer further room at the side for any printers or scanners required, and drawers to file away all your stationery neatly. Other different styles include single pedestal, double pedestal, hidden home office and corner desks.
If you don't have the space to give a whole room over to an office, then take a look at the options for a hidden home office, these are cleverly designed to look like something else apart from computer desks, for example they often double as dressing tables. Bedroom or dining room cupboards and sideboards are designed with hidden compartments to hold computer equipment and pullout keyboard drawers, also left hand cupboards to hold the tower unit and right hand shelves for printers and scanners, all done very tastefully and skillfully.
Corner desks fit snugly into spaces that may otherwise be wasted and are wide enough to hold a desktop or laptop with cupboard space underneath for towers and other bits and pieces.
Oak is a sturdy and dependable timber for office furniture as it's very hard-wearing and solid. Items made using dovetailed drawer joints, hardwood back and drawer inners, and tongue and groove backs are guaranteed to hold heavy equipment and be extremely resilient. Solid wood pieces look good in any room but white is stunning in the bedroom and walnut is a very high quality timber with a dense grain which makes it particularly suited for the living room.
If you prefer a contemporary look then there are very simple but classic designs using sophisticated materials such as ash veneer in a wenge finish with shiny chrome legs suitable for a laptop, or a sleek looking darkwood with a satin lacquer finish, so beautiful and stylish you would never guess what practical accessories lay behind its doors.
For something very simple but great for modern-day living then a studio desk can be the answer, featuring a drop front drawer for a keyboard or laptop, select a solid wood such as oak or beech and have it finished in a satin lacquer to protect against marks and scratches. Most items can be matched with other types of furniture including shelf units, bookcases, cabinets and tables, that fit effortlessly within a lounge, dining room and home office settings to finish a room to perfection.
