!: Writing Tables - The Right Way to Add Workspace and Style

Sure you need someplace to set up your computer as well as keep up with your weekly correspondence with grandma. But it doesn't have to be that plain plywood desk that everyone else has or your old standby; the kitchen table. You can do your work on something that suits your personal style and needs. Whether you've always dreamt of having an oversized desk like Donald Trump or a secretary full of compartments for all your writing essentials you can easily have the workspace you need with the decorative flair you want.

So get rid of the boring desk you have, clean the clutter off your kitchen table and put that old card table away. It's time to get a writing table that will both accent your décor and fulfill all of your needs. Begin by comparing prices online and you'll also see how many different types of writing tables and desks are out there. Then figure out how much space you have for this table as well as how large of a work surface you need. Do you want something that closes up to hide your mess while it adds beauty to your room? Or maybe you want to make a bold statement with a funky piece or marvel at your space-saving and versatile table that pulls apart to reveal a chair and writing desk. Perhaps a desk with a hutch is just what you need to hold your reference books and inspirations within reach. Once you decide on the type and size of desk you need you can look at the design.

Now you may be thinking that you don't really need a writing table, but the great thing about them is that they can do double duty as an accent table, a console table or an entryway table. So you'll have the workspace you need as well as plenty of display space for some fresh garden flowers or a favorite photo. You're new writing table can be a great way to add some fun and function to your home. Choose a desk with a zebra striped top and legs with hooves. A single drawer ensures you'll never have to go on safari for your stationary again. A steel framed desk that's computer ready brings a modern industrial look to any room. A classic secretary with a vibrant red finish combines French style with a Far East flair.

Whatever style you fancy your writing table will give your kitchen table a break and you a place to be inspired. Traditional or contemporary it's the workspace you need and the versatility you desire. Most often found in schools or children's bedrooms, now you can find a writing desk that suits your adult needs and favors the fun and funkiness your inner child desires. So, don't go to the local discount store and find something that works but is an eyesore. Shop around and find a piece of furniture that you love. Something that you'll actually enjoy using and you won't revert back to the kitchen table while your desk collects dust in the corner.
