When redesigning your office or searching for the perfect desk to refresh your space, we know it can be hard to go past IKEA, but here at Nunawading we have some amazing alternatives that we are sure will impress you. Whether you are looking for a space saving solution, a sit stand desk or a natural wood style that withstands the test of time, we have got you covered. Nunawading Homemaker HQ offers a wide range of furniture stores to suit any design style from modern minimalist to traditional Hamptons and everything in between. The desk is the hero piece in any home office and study, so it is essential to do your research and find the best solution to fit your space and requirements. Today we are sharing with you our top recommendations for desks and suitable alternatives to the famous IKEA desk we see all over Instagram and Pinterest!
Natural Wood Desks
When designing a home office or redecorating your study, you can’t go past a traditional timber desk to create a classic and timeless look. Our favourite retailer to head to when searching for a classic design style is Provincial home Living. We love their range of timeless pieces in high-quality finishes that will last a lifetime. Natural timber pairs perfectly with design styles such as Hamptons style, Provincial Style and a Traditional design style. We love the Fletcher desk from Provincial Home Living in natural Elm wood for its substantial size and ample storage.
Minimalist Desks
Minimalist desks have grown in popularity over the past few years as we are embracing a more clutter-free and simple lifestyle. We have seen the popularity of the Micke, Alex and Malm desks at IKEA Nunawading and believe that we have some great alternatives that provide you with a similar minimalist look. Head into stores such as Adairs, Provincial Home Living and Koala Living to check out their great range of desks in a variety of styles to suit your home office. When designing in a minimalist way we suggest sticking to neutral colours for your furniture such as a simple white, a light timber or classic black. Opt for a style that has clean lines and sleek edges with minimal storage to avoid clutter building up over time. We love the Lucia desk from Provincial Home Living as it has a classic shape with clean lines and comes in the perfect shade of white to suit any minimal home office style.
Sit-stand Desks
We are spending a lot more time working from home these days and the hours sitting in front of a screen can quickly add up. Therefore, choosing an ergonomic solution and taking into consideration how much time you spend sitting down is essential when designing a home office space. Sit-stand desks are an amazing solution that have grown in popularity for good reason. They allow you to adjust your desk with a simple click of a button to transform it from a traditional sitting desk to a place where you can stand up freely and work. There are many health benefits to a sit stand desk including the relief from back pain, improved productivity, assistance in burning more calories and increased concentration.
Space-saving desks
If you are incorporating a desk setup into an existing space, have a small room to work with or are simply short on space in the home, then a compact desk is the perfect solution for you. Desks don’t need to be as oversized as we no longer need to allow for large computers, big monitors and filing cabinets to store an abundance of files. These days we can simply work with a laptop, a standard sized screen and a few desktop essentials to create an efficient and productive workspace. The Karl desk from Provincial Home Living is the perfect space saving solution as it is compact in size, yet still provides storage making use of vertical space. We also love the Anjuna desk from Adairs as it is a smaller size, yet still incorporates two large drawers for ample storage.
