10 desks that are ACTUALLY stylish
/With more people working from home than ever before, the novelty of trying to balance a laptop on your knee on the couch is wearing thin. The same for the kitchen table or – worst of all – trying to do a Zoom call whilst you’re sat on your bed.
It’s time for us to get our work-from-home office spaces in order for the sake of our productivity and sanity. The best part of creating your own office space is that you can steer clear of the one-size-fits-all office space you’re used to and really make it your own.
Here’s a round up of our favourite desks (that are actually stylish) so that you can spruce up your home office:
1. FLEXISPOT Standing Desk
If you’re looking for style and flexibility, then this standing desk is for you. This desk is perfect for adding a modern, contemporary touch to your home. It’s sleek and understated whilst remaining functional, and for the price it’s an absolute steal for an electric standing desk.
This little desk has been selling like hotcakes at John Lewis and it’s easy to see why. The classy herringbone wood finish and metal legs lend themselves to a variety of different room styles the storage space is pretty good too whilst still remaining minimal for an understated charm that allows the desk to be part of a room and not the focus.
3. Ginsberg desk - Swoon
This Scandi-inspired desk features clean lines and mid-century modern inspiration. This is the sort of desk we can imagine being owned by someone incredibly desk-proud, never letting it get in a mess! The stunning wood grain effect produced by the mango wood makes this item a real showstopper.
We love this stylish oak desk with herringbone detailing. A single handy draw for your bits and a section to keep things hidden away and tidy. The hairpin legs make it stand out without it being too ‘statement’. Classy and refined; John Lewis obviously.
The Leonie desk not only looks amazing, crafted from solid oak and oak veneer for a light and natural space, it has oodles of storage space. It also has – and this one for the geeks – cable management, no more wires getting tangled up, as well as space for your computer up top. (Pro tip - We think this would look stunning with one of these stylish office chairs).
6. Derry Teak Effect Solid Pine Console Desk, La Redoute
Made from solid pine with teak stain, this desk is inspired by the neo-colonial trend and finished with cross-pieces at the side, large drawer and button handles. We think it perfectly matches traditional and modern to create a really stylish desk space.
7. Bortolin Desk, Made.com
Way more glamorous than your average office cubicle, this desk from Made.com combines a dark mango wood top with a brass frame. It sits on slim legs and has two storage drawers to keep all of that work-related clutter out of the way.
If there was ever a “wow” desk here it is. We actually fear for your productivity since you’re going to be distracted by the beauty of this scandi, mid-century stunner.
9. Authentic Style Solid Pine Desk, La Redoute
This sleek solid pine desk is practical and stylish. It mixes black lacquer with traditional design to create an elegant and sophisticated centrepiece for your home office. The three storage doors help keep your space tidy too.
10. Radius Oak Dressing Table, Habitat
We love this understated, timeless oak desk. It has two drawers for storage and is just the right balance of classic and stylish – it’ll fit perfectly into any living space.
So there we have it, working from home has never been this stylish (even if you’re still in your pj’s), treat yourself to a new look for your home office and enjoy the space. Your work-life balance - and your back - will thank you!
