1 Desk 3 Ways
Your Home and Garden|February 2019

Building on the blank canvas of a simple white desk, you can turn your home office or study into an expression of your own personal work style.

1 Desk 3 Ways

A study or home office doesn’t have to be a bland space filled with traditional grey office furniture – this is an area where you can be as creative as you like and have fun with theme and colour. Think outside the box when it comes to furniture and accessories to create a zone that will put a smile on your face and where you’ll want to spend time. A simple decor update can make sitting down to work something you’ll look forward to. For this feature, we’ve taken an inexpensive white desk and styled it three different ways.

THE DESK

This compact white desk from Warehouse Stationery has a modern, clean look which works well with multiple interior styles. You can’t go wrong with a white foundation piece as it gives you the flexibility to change up your theme as often as you wish. A wide drawer is great for storing stationery so you can keep the desktop free from clutter.

Depending on the size of your space and your needs, you could consider placing two desks side by side. This is a simple way to make an office space work for more than one family member. You could also give each desk its own unique style and accessories to create two distinct spaces that still sit well together.
