Warm Up the Home Office With a Fine Wooden Desk
Let corporate settings keep their steely formality. These wooden desks for a home office celebrate natural beauty in all its glory
Looking to create a more personal home office? Step away from the big-box office supply store. You do not need a replica of your day-job setup in your home office, no matter how professional you want it to feel.
Use your home office to showcase your unique work personality instead. It doesn't have to be stuffy or office-metal gray. In fact, it doesn't have to look like a corporate office at all. Let's start with the cornerstone of any office: the desk. Warm up the space with a wooden desk, whether modern or traditional. See if any of these well-designed rooms and desks can inspire your own home office.

Warm up a modern white space like this one — or any Scandinavian-influenced room — with a natural slab of reclaimed wood, like the Robin Wade desk shown here. It adds a more human element to the sleekness of the decor.
Modern Acacia Wood Dining Table
Here's another live-edge wood desk that's the perfect combination of natural influences and modern sensibilities. The lightweight legs let the desktop float in the middle of a modern workspace.
Minimal Float Wall Desk
This desk is minimally invasive yet ready to pack a punch when you pull out the lower shelf. It's perfect for small homes and apartments — it would even work in the corner of a bedroom or under a wall-mounted TV in a living room.
