Distressed Desks
With their rustic, old-world charm, distressed desks can add character and warmth to any home. Whether you’ll be using your desk to work from home regularly, or more as decoration, finding just the right one to suit your space and needs is key. From distressed white desks to those with rustic oak stains, allow this guide to help you find your next home office addition.
What Type of Desk Is Right For You?
At Houzz, we carry distressed desks in a variety shapes and styles, all designed for a slightly different purpose. While you browse, consider how exactly you’ll be using your new desk and what sort of setup would be best for you.
Computer Desk: This style is often built around wire management and may come with a keyboard tray. Distressed computer desks are ideal if you’ll be working from home often, but still want something that’ll blend with the rest of your decor.
- Writing Desk: This is a more traditional, standard style simply meant for writing or doing paperwork, although there’s usually plenty of space for a laptop. For a decorative look, opt for a distressed white writing desk with a pretty flower vase and other knick-knacks arranged on top.
- Secretary Desk: If you’re adding a desk to a bedroom or living room, secretary desks can offer the perfect solution. These desks come with a roll top that you can pull down to completely cover your work space once you’re done using it. Plus, one with a distressed finish will have so much rustic charm that it’ll actually function as a great accent piece (besides providing a spot to get your work done).
- Desk with Hutch: If you’ve got a shabby-chic or farmhouse-style home, keep your eyes out for a distressed white desk with a hutch. There’s no better furniture piece to set up your home workstation or office with — and you’ll love all the extra storage space.
- Executive Desk: When it’s time to really get down to business, this design is your best option. With plenty of file storage drawers and a large work surface, executive desks are meant to exude sophistication and style while offering a comfortable work experience.
Define Your Style
Distressed desks can work in a variety of settings, whether you’re going full modern farmhouse or simply adding a rustic touch to a traditional home. Typically, medium or gray-toned woods look great with a farmhouse style, from walnut to oak. You can even take things in an industrial direction by opting for a mixed metal and wood office desk. Simple lines and little direction will add to the utilitarian vibe. On the other hand, for an elegant, French country look, it’s hard to beat the feminine appeal of a distressed white desk. Curved or scrolled legs and decorative drawer pulls will add to the effect.
