Guest Picks: Stylish Desks for the Student in All of Us

http://www.decor-ideas.org 08/30/2014 03:14 Decor Ideas 

It’s that time again: Back-to-school week has arrived after a whirlwind summer. Deep down I’m excited about the chance to start fresh and get organized. It is almost like the new year with hopeful resolutions regarding homework, reading and mile-high piles of paperwork. Give me a month and that feeling may have passed, but right now I’m holding on to the spirit of new beginnings.

Currently I’m on the hunt for a desk that the kids can use for homework and projects. I’m not looking to break the bank, but I want something attractive that will slide right into our space without looking out of place. I don’t want a big and clunky desk. So often office pieces are king size, but I’d like something more petite. It must be both attractive and functional, because I’m a practical girl. And I don’t need a lot of storage, but a drawer or two would be nice.

I’ve collected 19 potential options for a student-type desk. I included a couple of child-size options that I couldn’t resist, but I will likely stick with an adult desk so that there will be room to grow, and because I will probably also use it for my laptop or when I’m brainstorming. These desk styles include those perfect for growing students and just right for Mom or Dad. — Erin from Two Story Cottage
