It is no longer as difficult, to justify a work from home purchase. Many of us are logging in hours away from an office environment. Yet, if you are still struggling to be productive because the dining room table you’ve commandeered just isn’t working or really have no surface to really call your own — we’ve gathered desk options to help you along (yes, you may find a drawer or two helpful).
When I posed this to the group, we were in complete agreement that where desks are concerned — form must follow function. Yet, while we couldn’t agree on one style, any option needed to be easy on the eyes & fit within a decided space and budget.
So, here are a few classic design picks, that weigh in at different styles & price points. Hopefully one of these might inspire you to break your “desk commitment” phobia.

Sophisticated
I’ll admit that I am not a particularly elegant individual. I struggle with lipstick and despise clothing that doesn’t feel like pajamas. However, a glamorous desk can make you feel a bit cool & somewhat collected. The lacquered regency desk below from Anthropologie is pricey, but offers four drawers (spaces to wrangle your stuff.) Find the details here. Fans on a budget can consider our Amazon pick.

Modern
There is something something so refreshing about clean, modern design. The lines are sleek and the materials quickly become the center of attention. Luckily, there many options out there to choose from. I love the look of a Parson’s style desk and the one below from All Modern is well-rated. We’ve also included other desks with a modern feel at a lower price point.

Hogwarts (Library Table)
If spreading out is a priority and you have storage for your office supplies covered, there is nothing like a library table. You can go for a new option, pre-owned or even a vintage table — representing various price points. Find some tips on how to purchase a vintage piece here.
Trestle tables are great options and work beautifully if an unused dining room space has morphed into your home office. Hogwarts aside — you just cannot beat the warmth of this style option. We’ve provided a little inspiration below: here is the direct link: https://amzn.to/48yR4rK
