A great home-office desk works hard and still looks like part of your home. Here’s how to choose, plus my favorite desks.
How to choose a home-office desk
- Warm wood or walnut blends into a living space.
- Storage or minimal? Drawers hide clutter; a writing desk stays airy.
- Right size — 40-47″ small; 55″+ to spread out.
- Cable management for a computer desk.
- Considered legs — tapered or hairpin.
