floating desks that inspire to work and create cover

A floating desk is a gorgeous thing: you save floor space anywhere – whether it’s a small home office nook or a large home office, it always works and you have some space for other things. A floating desk can be wall-mounted anywhere – by the window, in the corner or elsewhere, which makes it even more comfortable in using. If you are looking for some ideas to get a floating desk for your space, this roundup will help you – you’ll find a lot of cool ideas to choose from!

Large Floating Desks

If you have enough space to use, go for a large floating desk, which may be enough for even several people – a couple of adults working, an adult working and a child drawing or several kids drawing altogether, this is always a win-win idea. To make your space look more contemporary and make it more functional at the same time, you can attach some floating shelves over the desk, with built-in lights or without. Go for matching shelves to create a sleek contemporary look or prefer contrasting ones but in the same style to make your nook cohesive.

If you aren’t using built-in lights, attach your desk by the window making it a windowsill one, or at least add more pendant lights and put table lamps here and there.

Small Floating Desks

Most of floating desks are actually small as people choose them for little nooks to save the space. Wall mount it everywhere you want, just providing enough light for work or studies or other things you do. Vary the style – it can be not only super sleek and minimalist but also with a live edge or just a rustic one. Add a stylish and comfortable chair – if you are going eclectics, it can be a totally different in color and style chair that will make a statement. Enjoy!
