Throughout high school and college I did a fair bit of studying, but none of it happened at a desk. It took place on the\u00a0couch, kitchen table, and an ancient armchair that is now stained from several coffee-related mishaps. I consider it a sacrifice to the gods of academia. I only very recently discovered the wonders of having a desk<\/a>–as in, a space dedicated entirely to working. It’s amazing how much easier it is to focus when your brain knows “this is where we concentrate”.\u00a0Don’t worry if you don’t have a whole room to dedicate to a home office<\/a>. With all of the different sorts of desks out there, you can fit one into any lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n

Desks are as versatile as the people who use them. Back in the nineties my mom did all the household accounting on a giant oaken roll-top desk stuffed with files and papers and junk mail. Nowadays a desk is often just a flat surface to put a laptop on. Also, a stable place for coffee cups so as to avoid disasters. That’s why it’s easier than ever to find a desk that suits your decor. This one would look great in a bedroom, and its small dimensions means it won’t take up too much floor space at all. <\/p>\n\n\n

Desks don’t just belong in formal office settings. (By UrbanWood Goods)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There are countless styles of desks, made of all sorts of materials. I like this weathered wooden look a lot, along with the exposed drawers. I am speaking entirely from anecdotal evidence here. But being surrounded by the natural world helps me feel much more inspired than being in a cubicle. I also like the double-desk idea here, perfect for people collaborating on a project, or just to work in companionable quiet. <\/p>\n\n\n

On the other hand, not everyone has a zest for the vintage and slightly battered. A sleek, modern desk can also be a really cool look, fitting in well with a more contemporary decor. Think simple, clean designs that use basic shapes and materials well. A desk like this is no-frills, perfect for the worker who doesn’t want distractions. And glass-topped furniture in general is great for small rooms, since it creates the illusion of more space. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Standing
Standing desks are steadily growing in popularity. (By Emily Winters)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Finally, let me mention a\u00a0desk idea that may seem a little counterintuitive: the standing desk. There has been a lot of talk recently about how awful sitting down all day is for you. Since so many modern jobs require people to do just that, having a space where you can work while staying on your feet is really valuable to both your health and your sanity. My dad stacks his laptop onto a box and a pile of books in order to stand while he works, but you can circumvent this rather precarious set-up by simply buying a taller desk. Also, maybe invest\u00a0in a taller chair or stool to go with it, just in case you want to take a rest or really get down to business. <\/p>\n\n\n

With the workforce moving toward more people than ever working at least partially from home<\/a>, it’s incredibly helpful to have a space that you can dedicate to organization and focus. Speaking from personal experience–all furniture-blogger bias aside–it’s definitely made a difference in the quality of my work experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
