Various desk styles displayed in a modern office setting, showcasing versatility and functionality

A desk creates a space for you to focus on your work. It's a physical and psychological barrier between you and the rest of the world. When you're sitting at a desk, you're telling your brain that it's time to get down to business.

 

The right desk can make all the difference in your productivity and comfort levels while working. But with so many different types of desks on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. At the Furniture Mall, we have desks for any occasion and any function. Whether you need a desk to work from home, or you need a desk to play video games (both reasons are equally important), we've got you covered. 

 

Different Types of Desks

 

Here are six different desks that are perfect for any occasion:

 

The Writing Desk:

 

A simple desk with a flat surface and enough space to spread out your work. Perfect for writers or anyone who needs a lot of space to work.

This Chevron writing desk is a good example of how a writing desk should function. It has a large surface area that can accommodate multiple projects at once, as well as drawers for storage. This desk features a spacious surface for spreading out documents and is built for ergonomic comfort with its removable monitor stand and wire management tray.

 

The Executive Desk:

 

If you're looking for a desk that makes a statement, an executive desk is the way to go. These desks are large and imposing, and they often come with extra features like built-in cabinets and shelves.

This is the Amelia Jr. Executive Desk, which in my opinion, is very appropriately named. It's a sophisticated name for a sophisticated desk. That antique toffee finish and brass knobs make this a gorgeous piece of furniture and a desk you can be proud to do work at.

 

The Computer Desk:

 

This type of desk is designed specifically for those who need to use a computer while working. It includes a surface for the keyboard and mouse, as well as a space for the monitor.

The raised monitor stand makes this computer desk ideal for getting work done comfortably by not placing as much strain on your neck and back as you work. All desks should have that feature nowadays.

 

Desk with Hutch:

 

This type of desk is perfect for those who need a lot of storage space. The hutch provides extra shelves and cabinets, giving you a place to keep all of your materials organized.

L-shaped desks:

 

These desks are perfect for those who need a lot of workspace but don't have a lot of room. The L-shape allows you to make the most of your space while still having plenty of room to spread out. This is a multifunctional desk that can be used to focus and get work done during the day, and then game at night.

L-shaped desks for gaming

This Lynxton Home Office desk is an L-shaped desk that demonstrates the perfect balance that L-shaped desks provide. There is enough space for multiple computers such as a desktop and a laptop computer, so you can jump back and forth during work hours, but you also have enough space to play video games or get comfortable and watch Netflix at night.
