The Marais A is a good choice for a kitchen desk area. In this kitchen, it coordinates with matching counter stools, like the ones you'll see in the next picture.

Here's another kitchen with vintage-modern touches, but applied with a lighter hand than in the previous photo. The light-colored tiles, cabinets and counters keep this kitchen fresh and streamlined. Details like the schoolhouse lights, bin pulls and other cabinet hardware, and mid-century cafe chair add cottage personality. Also, a modern chef needs spot for finding recipes online!

6. Have the desk moonlight as a baking center. If you don't want to sacrifice a whole section of your kitchen for a desk that you might use a few times a week, let it do double-duty as a baking center, bar or serving station. All you have to do is drop the counter down 6" from the standard counter height of 36" to 30" and voila, you have the perfect height for both baking and writing.

If your child feels trapped away in his room studying all night, invite him into the kitchen by adding a workstation there. This keeps him part of the activity while you prepare dinner, and you can be sure he gets all his homework done.

There’s perhaps no better place in the home for a computer than the kitchen. It’s where we spend the most time and of course, the heart of any home. From accessing shared schedules, video chatting with family and friends while cooking, downloading recipes, news and weather, doing homework, or monitoring a child’s online activity, some form of computing device will serve a family well.

Vintage modern: This kitchen is crisp yet detailed. The schoolhouse light fixtures, French cafe chair and stools, bin pull hardware and wood details on the cabinets contribute to the style.

No. 5 and 6. Change out that light fixture for something more vintage and architecturally interesting. And add a cute vintage chair to that naked looking desk area in your kitchen. Accessories like lighting and chairs can add so much style. Don't underestimate the power of a single well-chosen accessory.

7. While we saw fewer of these this year, all-white kitchens are still on many wish lists. We love the clean look of the off-white subway tile in this kitchen, which makes the bright white cabinetry and trim stand out.
