With many people still working from home, finding somewhere in the home to place a laptop, an extra screen or a desktop PC has become very important. Keeping in touch with the rest of your team and stakeholders during the lockdown has meant we are heavily reliant on technology. Most companies provide their staff with a laptop and maybe an extra screen to work from but where is the best place to work from at home?
Some people may be lucky enough to have a small study at home where they can work undisturbed by the rest of the household and not disrupt the flow of everyday life. If you don’t fall into that category, your choices are probably a kitchen breakfast bar, a dining room table or your lap whilst sitting at the sofa. Suddenly you begin to appreciate your ergonomically designed desk and chair at work!
Three of our favourite Desks
If you need somewhere to work from without disrupting the rest of the household and be able to sit comfortably whilst working, we share with you three of our most popular desks. These desks are in the Loxley and Hardwick ranges and also double up as dressing tables once no longer needed as a desk. This gives you flexibility as to where you can place the desk in your home. They can be placed in a bedroom where they can be used as a dressing table in between working or in a lounge or dining room where they can double up as a table to display picture frames flowers or a plant when not in use as a desk.
Once we are hopefully back into normal life, you can continue to use your new oak desk, as a desk for occasional work from home, a homework station for the kids or as a dressing table in your bedroom. A beautiful piece of furniture will stand the test of time in your home and may be moved from room to room as your needs in the family change.
Here are our three favourite desks.
1. Hardwick Light Oak Double Pedestal Desk
The Harwick Light Oak double pedestal desk with 6 drawers is a perfect work from home desk with plenty of space for a laptop and additional screen with ample storage for all of your important work papers in the six deep drawers. This desk is 1470mm wide so can provide plenty of workspace.
You could sit at this desk using a chair already in your home, invest in a small office chair or use one of the stools made to fit the desk/dressing table. The Hardwick Oak Stool is an ideal height and can be stored under the desk when not in use.
This piece of furniture will work perfectly as a desk whilst working from home and once you are back at work, it can easily be re-utilised as a dressing table with a mirror, a kids desk in a bedroom or dining room or additional table with handy storage to display your favourite items.
Traditional Joinery Methods
This Hardwick Oak Double Pedestal Desk is hand-crafted with the finest American Oak into a traditional 18th-century styling. Made with country cottage styling in mind but with fewer rustic touches and a cleaner lined design, the Hardwick will suit any environment, a modern home, traditional or period property. The chrome handles on the drawers lend a modern twist to this traditional styled furniture.
Hardwick Oak furniture is made by experienced craftsmen that use traditional joinery methods such as dovetail joints and drawer sliders made by carving a channel in the drawer that effortlessly slides to gain easy access. This desk will continue to be a useful and attractive piece of furniture long after you have gone back to your office work and will only require a light dusting to keep it in tiptop condition.

Traditionally Made Furniture
