Chic, Smart Desk Designs for Urban Homes
Get inspired by this compilation of 13 design-savvy, functional, hip and fun work desks
Let’s face it – we all love to work from home, where there are no bosses or colleagues hovering over our heads … and it’s just so comfortable. If you have a smart desk to work on, the pleasure of making calls, typing emails, jotting down notes or Skyping doubles. So, here’s a selection of modern work desk designs to inspire you (and me). Let us know which ones you like the most.
1. Funky, eclectic and full of fun – who wouldn’t be happy to work from home when the writing desk and the area around looks this good (especially with the inspiring Frida Kahlo watching over you at all times). I like how the sleek white table and pink chair fit so well inside this heavily patterned, bright scheme. This space has my vote.
2. No frills attached – this clean-lined wooden desk holds a bunch of photographs, a tiny vase and has space to accommodate a laptop, a book or a diary for writing. It fits perfectly inside this bedroom, sharing hues with the yellow sofa behind it.
3. The distressed-white painted brick wall, multiple drawers, the table’s curvy legs and pouffe-style chair, all ensure a happy working atmosphere.

4. The visually light, simple and compact desk is just the right size and design for this indoor-outdoor space. The desk has just the right amount of area for a person to work on, and its uncomplicated, non-bulky form doesn’t distract the user from the expansive views around.
5. Reading and writing is an easy, seamless job in this study that holds a built-in wooden work desk with a large bookshelf at the side. The desk also has ample storage for the user, with drawers and open shelves built into its design.

6. The black triangular table with carved legs and a gleaming surface adds character to this monochrome space and provides ample spread for the user to keep a laptop, books, notes, stationery and more.
7. I like how this sleek modern work desk makes space for a laptop and allows you to keep reading material close by with the help of the built-in V-shaped shelf that runs along one side of the table. This way, important books and notes are always within arm’s reach.
8. This transparent acrylic desk and chair don’t cause any visual encroachment in this slim area. The built-in cubby shelves in white, holding books, files, stationery and a printer, still maintain a clean and non-busy vibe.

9. The rustic, earthy look of this desk is inimitable. I like how two different tones of wood have been used for the tabletop and the legs and an old-style chair has been placed behind it, to give it a throwback quality.
10. I like the sophisticated, luxe design tone of this room; all credit goes to the highback chair, the sleek desk and its glistening finish. Makes me think the space belongs to a top-notch white-collar professional.
11. If one could attribute human-like qualities to furniture, I’d definitely say this swanky desk looks masculine – with its dark wood, solid structure, smart gold carvings and sleek drawers. What do you think?
12. I would spot this robust desk in a room full of furniture simply because of its eye-catching industrial flavour. Its commanding metal form packs hefty storage, thanks to all those drawers.
13. Compact and impactful – the two-tier desk helps segregate things. It has space for computers and monitors to be kept below and stationery and loose sheets to be kept above, away from the work area.
