Top 5 Consoles that can double as a desk

15/4/2020

We are totally aware of the massive revolution that is taking place these days in peoples homes with most of us having to work from home  for the foreseeable. So you need that space to work from home but don't really want to fork out for a massive desk you might never use again... so here is a great idea that might save you some ££ and also give you the space you need to work without compromising on style.

 Make way for the humble CONSOLE!

Yes you heard me! This simple table, if chosen correctly can sit in most places and function well as a desk without dominating the space or being a totally redundant piece of furniture once this is all over (yes it will!) So here are a few pointers to look out for  when selecting your new console/desk space. 
  1. Depth - some consoles are purposefully narrow, and depending on the type of work you need to do might be an important factor. So get your measuring tape out and always double check it. 
  2. Seating space - if you are sat at your desk for any length of time you will know that its important to be able to put your legs somewhere. So consider consoles without bottom shelves before any others. 
  3. Storage - if you are going to be working in a space that you also live in, you need to be able to clear your desk and keep it tidy to prevent work from taking over your life. So get  a table with some storage built in or assign a space on some nearby shelving to keep things neat and tidy. 

Option 1: For a bit of glam --> Go for Gold

This incredibly stylish console can be a fabulous desk space and styled to perfection as a console.

Option 2: ​ For a mid-century vibe with a super swish tambour door (i.e. sliding door) check out this beauty. It is available in two wood tones to perfectly suit your interior.

Option 3: Terrazzo fabulous
This stunning green lava stone top with black legs is a dramatic one but oh so fab! Terrazzo is strong and will survive most things so get cracking!

Option 4: Curved and Marble-iscous
Yes fine I might have made that word up! BUT LOOK AT THIS CONSOLE! Isn't it stunning? That marble top and the curved edges gives this a really high end look without the same price tag!
