Live Edge Desks
Rustic and earthy, live edge desks consist of a slab of wood with the outer edge of the tree trunk left intact. Instead of being formed into a standard rectangle, these desks typically feature one wavy, organic edge where you can see the natural knots and colors of the original trunk. Although they’re classic in rustic, western-style homes, today, live edge desks are also a sought-after accent piece for modern and contemporary home offices.
What Type of Desk Is Right For You?
When furnishing a home office or work zone, you’ll want to make sure you find a desk that suits your needs and helps you be productive. Of course, it’s also important that your office space flows with the rest of your decor, and doesn’t simply look like a replica of your desk at work! With a live edge desk, you can be sure that your home office is truly unique and personal, as no two will ever be exactly the same.
To highlight the unique striations and shape, live edge writing desks are the most common, as they consist simply of a slab of wood and supporting legs. Still, it is possible to find versions with drawers attached underneath the top slab of wood for extra storage and convenience. Standing desks made of live edge wood are another option to keep your alert and active while you work. Keep in mind, live edge furniture is meant to be decorative! So while you may not be able to find a desk with built-in wire management, you should at least have plenty of surface space to rest a laptop on and get to work.
Define Your Style
It’s fun picking out the wood tone that best matches your style and interior space. But don’t be too set on any one finish, as live edge desks are always likely to vary slightly from whatever photo you see listed. If you’re going for an industrial look, opt for a light to medium maple or pine paired with metal legs. Walnut live edge desks are typically a bit darker and look gorgeous in a variety of settings. You should also consider what sort of color tone will help you feel most comfortable and focused while you work.
