I
was finally able to purchase a desk last fall since our apartment came unfurnished. I bought a clean white surface (that ended up being a tad small but that's another story). While deciding what desk to buy and what things to put on it and what chair would go with it (that I could afford) I rummaged through the internet for inspiration, adding tons of photos to my Pinterest board in the process. Here are some of my favorites.
Today's theme: desk spaces.
I actually kept this photo saved on my phone's camera roll for a while. I stored my books this way on my desk for a long time and draped a throw on the chair too. It's changed since then but I do really like the mixture of styles (in the whole room in fact, the link takes you to a full look at everything) and will most likely reference when I'm able to buy furniture with more time.
I referenced this photo for the color scheme and the flowers mostly. The vintage vibes of course swept me away at first glance.
This one is my favorite. Again I like the way the books are central but also the way the lamp is perched on a stack of magazines. Because of all the small components in the gallery wall and the diminutive flower vase, it doesn't overwhelm the desk. I bough a similar chair to the one pictured here, and went with a white desk to recreate the look as well. Eventually I would be able to add in some vintage touches and create the harmony this styling creates.
This last one I liked because the desk is right next to the bed which isn't too common in professionally styled rooms, at least not ones I've come across. Also I think my mom had just purchased a vintage secretary type desk in dark brown wood at the time that I pinned this and I was contemplating bringing it with me to my apartment. It was ultimately too heavy to haul up here but it's still there in storage and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't planning on taking it at some point in the future. (For the future apartment I have all planned out in my mind).
