Office Desks That Suit Your Style, Whatever It May Be

Desks are such difficult furniture pieces and there are so many things to take into consideration when getting a new desk. For instance, what will it be used for? How big do you want it to be? What style do you prefer? How much storage do you need and where will you put the desk? The list is almost endless and every detail is important. Office desks can be quite different than the small wall-mounted desk you might get for your small apartment or from your gaming computer desk. Whatever your requirements are, one of the designs below might be exactly what you were looking for.

Filou is the modern desk you should look for if you have a small home or if you simply enjoy the flexibility and versatility or your interior decor. This is a writing desk designed by Elise Fouin. It’s small, you can mount it on a wall and you can use it as a workstation but also as a storage and charging station for your devices. The desk’s surface is big enough to hold a laptop and has carved out holes for all the cables. A cool thing about it is that you can place at any desired height and you can use it either seated or standing.

Another great home or office desk for small spaces is the Compass designed by Studio Thomas Merlin. This is a desk that needs to lean against a wall so you won’t be able to place it in the middle of the room. The design, however, it meant to be space-efficient and practical. It features simple lines and a functional structure with two removable flaps that reveal a storage compartment for things like paper, tablets, phones and other things. It also comes with a magnetic surface and a USB port.

The Venere piece is actually better suited as a vanity than a desk, although both functions are viable options. If you decide to use it as a desk, you probably won’t need the rotating mirror. The desk is made of wood and its top is covered with painted glass. The drawers have a lacquered finish and the frame that supports the actual desk is made of burnished metal. This can be the perfect piece of furniture for you if you only occasionally need a desk. The rest of the time, this can be your vanity table.
