Desk: practical and stylish

In the modern interior, many pieces of furniture have lost their meaning. Desks are replaced by various devices or worktops adapted for computers. The classic desk in the apartment is less and less common. Nevertheless, this stylish representative of the situation is able to add sophistication and uniqueness to the room.

A desk can be an indicator of the status of its owner. For a business person, the workplace is as important for the image as a good suit or watch. The outcome of a transaction or business negotiations may depend on how comfortable it is to sit at such a table. A comfortable position gives you freedom of thought, while a feeling that your legs are under your desk is tight can distract you from important decisions.

A comfortable table for home and office - these are different concepts. So that the home office does not spoil the interior, most often they try to hide it. Perhaps this will be a model on wheels, which after use is securely hidden in a closet or a niche provided for this. The main thing is that at the same time it does not lose its functionality.

To maximize the comfort of the room, it is better to buy a table from natural materials. A good choice would be the types of wood common in the market:

• cherry;
• nut;
• oak;
• beech.

Such material is good to see and feel. Wooden structures are more durable and durable and allow you to give the table maximum functionality with the help of an abundance of drawers and shelves. The front of the countertop can be tightened with leather. This decorative element will add chic and a sense of well-being.

Particular attention must be paid to the desk for the child. A practical option may be a model with height-changing legs. The table will “grow” with its small owner. In a pair with such a piece of furniture, you must also purchase a chair with a varying height and backrest.

To ensure the greatest comfort of use, manufacturers supply their products with various devices and storage systems. Among them:

• hanging and table shelves;
• rolling tables;
• drawers;
• secret boxes.

Such equipment of a table suggests that its main purpose is practical use. Decorative functions are secondary, but important for such a model.

The selected table should provide maximum ergonomics. All necessary items and devices should be located in easy access for someone sitting at the table. It is important to consider that saving on such furniture turns into a saving on health.

The harmonious combination of this piece of furniture with the overall interior depends on a competent approach to the selection. Manufacturers offer a wide range of models, and, accordingly, the prices of their products. Russian factories offer inexpensive furniture with minimal functionality. The simple forms characteristic of the manufacturers of this segment are due to the manufacturing standards and habits of the bulk of buyers that have been stretching since the Soviet Union. Rectangular countertops and a minimum number of additional storage systems are integral characteristics of Russian furniture. Furniture of production in the Baltic states has become a little more diverse. Here you can find more sophisticated models, complemented by practical components and decorative elements. Italian manufacturers offer exquisite models of a wide range of shades, materials and shapes. Accordingly, the prices of such products are rising in direct proportion to the growth of aesthetic qualities.German furniture, in spite of some cumbersomeness, decorates the room, ennobling the interior.

Separately, you can highlight antique desks or high-quality imitations of them. Such products have recently become especially popular and their future owners do not spare considerable sums of money on such tables. Antique tables are rarely seen in offices. These works of art often find their place in living rooms or home cabinets. Noble varieties of wood and expensive decorative elements give the atmosphere a touch of antiquity and hint at the noble origin of the owner of the house.

At the same time, for offices, the use of tables of the same brand is considered a good form. Excessive diversity and variety of forms will only distract from work. The lineup of many manufacturing companies offers a collection of desks specifically for workrooms.

It is believed that the thickness of the countertops can determine the post of its owner. The thicker the upper part and the better the material for the manufacture, the higher the position of the one who sits at such a table. The massive table is able to produce the necessary impression of reliability on business partners. It is better if the color of such a table is dark. Natural veneer is able to create the effect of expensive materials in the case when a table made of solid wood is unreasonably expensive.

A new fashion trend has become the rounded form of desks. A special recess in the location of the chair is designed for maximum convenience of those who work at such a table. And soft bends are able to bring harmony to the room, where the main part of the lines are clear and sharp.

In addition to wooden products, models with a glass top are also popular. They fit perfectly into the room in the style of minimalism or hi-tech, but at the same time bring some coldness into the room. The chrome-plated details that usually complement such desks also make these models more rigorous. The use of such desks in children's rooms is impractical. The danger posed by glass products must be eliminated in rooms where children spend a lot of time.

If the choice of a desk of an unusual design is not dictated by the design decision, then the best model would be a desk made of solid wood with many drawers. Such a model will fit perfectly into any interior and will fulfill its main purpose for many years.
