15 inspiring home office desk ideas

29.05.2022

Looking for some inspiring home office desk ideas to put some love into your Work From Home (WFH) set-up? From gloss white minimalism to rugged industrial designs, we take a look at some of our favourite office desks to help you put some love back into your WFH environment.

Beautiful home office desks

We all spend a lot of time at work. Which is why many businesses work hard to create a positive and productive office environment. And of course, with the shift towards Work From Home (WFH), there is now the desire to create an uplifting home office environment away from the kitchen table – good for your personal wellbeing as well as your productivity.

Simple birch ply home office desk

Sometimes the best recipes have the simplest ingredients. Take one vibrant powder-coated steel frame (available in a range of colours), add a gorgeous birch ply top (generously finished in matt lacquer), then finish with your desired cable holes.

Manufactured by Rigg Furniture, we love the simplicity of their Loop desk, sure to bring some design chic to your work from home office!

Minimalist birch plywood desk with hairpin legs

With the simple beauty of birch ply topped with hard-wearing Formica, this minimalist Scandi-cool desk from Furniture with Soul is dressed in strikingly colourful mid-century hairpin legs to add some fizz to your home office set-up.

Minimalist birch plywood desk

We never get tired of seeing a well-finished exposed edge of birch plywood – a world away from flat-pack MDF – and a quality addition to any home office. Stylish, functional and simplistic.

Vintage industrial architect’s desk

Inspired by a golden age of industrial engineering, this vintage architect’s desk from Steel Vintage is a work of creative art, hand-crafted from steel section tubing with an incredible detail & finish.

Vintage industrial architect's desk

Available in a range of different timbers, and a tailored range of distressed finishes, you can tailor your architect’s desk to your own desires. The only downside? I’m not sure we’d get much work done for all the stroking and caressing this beauty!

Reclaimed scaffold board desk

The beauty of using reclaimed scaffold boards for a desk is that it doesn’t need to be perfect to look amazing! Chic and unique, there is a plethora of choice out there, but we love this L-shaped reclaimed scaffold board desk, with gun-metal black scaffolding frame from Chronology.

Finished with a hard-wearing wax oil, each scaffold board will bring a unique warming grain and character, with stacks of desk space on top of a sturdy scaffold frame for cool vintage industrial vibe.

Full of character with a vintage industrial style, reclaimed scaffold boards look great in any home office, and can be a perfect DIY project too. But really, with some beautiful scaffold board desks available, lovingly made by local craftspeople, why go to the trouble of making something yourself?

With a rugged and utilitarian modernism, these simple structures add fine detail to a classic form to showcase the very best of Scottish craftmanship. We couldn’t agree more.

Retro chic mid-century desk

Add some style and sophistication to your home office with a distinctive mid-century desk from Hykkon. The Justine mid-century desk has beautiful streamlined curves and is available in a wide range of finishes to form a centrepiece of your WFH office.

Mid-century writing desk with drawers

Crafted from Walnut, this gorgeous mid-century writing desk adds an air of grandeur and sophistication to your home office, with an unmistakable style and the highest standards of craft.

Mid-century writing desk with drawers

A true statement piece, who wouldn’t feel uplifted when sitting down to work at this beauty. We love the slender legs, the eased edge design and the hung set of drawers.

Designer home office desks

For those of us who like the finer things in life. Designed by the highly-acclaimed Italian architect Lorenzo Marcolin, the Long Friday large executive desk is a truly stunning and practical showpiece for any designer office, available in 14 matt lacquered colours with contrasting horizontal bands and a wide range of finishes – all including hidden cable management to keep your workspace clean.

High gloss white contemporary desk

Looking for an achingly contemporary desk with a sensible price tag? Beautifully modern, this sleek high gloss white desk from FurnitureBox sets the template for any contemporary home office, with minimalist simplicity and gently curved edges.

Why not add a bold accent colour to show your flair, or surround yourself with generously lush green house plants to strike a contrast with your high gloss white desk?

Fold down desk

Space at a premium? What’s not to love about this fold down desk from BitmanWood?! Simple, clever and high quality, made from beautiful birch ply with a black laminate finish, magnetic whiteboard inside, with adjustable shelves and built-in LED light – One of our favourites!

Modern, practical and no need to compromise on design – plus available in 20 different colours.

Space saving desk

Looking for the ultimate space-saving desk?

Space would not be an issue with a tiny home office desk – a rustic floating shelf which you can put away when not in use. Of course, there is limited room for anything other than a laptop, but acts as a smart solution for those of us who simply don’t have the space to dedicate to an office.

Space-saving desk

Standing desks for your home office

More than just a passing fad, with the amount of time us humans are seated – whether at work or at home – many of us are taking notice of height-adjustable desks.

Height-adjustable desks allow for an uncomplicated change in working position, so regardless of your standing/seated preference, a healthy combination of sitting, standing and active moving can be maintained through the day for greater energy levels, and improved health.

Height adjustable standing desk

This FlexiSpot electric height-adjustable standing desk brings a simple style and is available in a variety of colours and configurations. Plus with a range of options, you can accessorise your desk to suit your individual home office desires.

Ökoform heated desk

When you’re working from home, it can sometimes get a tad chilly round the legs if you’re not able to get up and about (as we might frequently have done in the office) or certainly if you’re trying to minimise your home heating bills. Enter the heated home office desk from Ökoform.

Containing an integral radiant heating element, the Ökoform desk gently and efficiently warms you directly (rather than the surrounding air) to help you remain comfortable and productive – and give you a boost on those colder days.

Okoform heated desk

Available in a wide range of configurations and finishes, including standing desks – and manufactured in Devon, UK, no less.

Office in a cupboard

Ok, this one isn’t a desk, but it is a great way to maximise your space, keep your home office tidy and work smart. A sliding ‘barn door’ can provide easy access to a cupboard, storage area or concealed home office, which you can hide away at a moment’s notice. A great way to stop thinking about work at the end of the day too!
