double desk office

13 years ago

My husband and I have a crate and barrel espresso colored desk and bookcase in a transitional style. We have realized that we each need a desk in the office. If we aren't going for matching desks, what would be a good contrast that works together? I'm wondering about an off-white ladies desk or a weathered grey wood finish. Opinions? Thanks.

The grey would look great. The white will be very stark and dramatic if that is what your going for I would do it. You might consider a light wood stain it would be more traditional and still be a great look. If the piece is contemporary it will still make a statement.

Great. Thank you. Yes, I think the grey weathered wood feels best. Lastly, do you think with different desks, the chairs and task lighting should match? Have you any great resources for affordable desk chairs? Thanks again.
