A Happy Office...Has a Great Desk

This is a series of posts dedicated to sharing ideas on how to create your perfect home office. Want to share your creative space solution with the AT:HT Community? Be sure to tag your flickr photos with apartmenttherapyhometech or join our new AT HomeTech Flickr Group

A great desk can make a home office shine. From tech newbie to gadget geek, we all need a good structure to support our gear. Whether you buy one, find one, or build your own, a desk needs to be able to work with your equipment and working style.

We thought we'd share some AT readers desks with you for a little inspiration. Above is a work area designed for a photo studio in Chicago. We love all of the workspace and its custom design.

We liked this cool, little desk for a laptop user that doesn't require a lot of surface space.

This desk seems to work well without needing a lot of storage devices. The computer, stereo equipment, and other essentials all sit effortlessly on this simple desk.

This desk is attractive and efficient with built in cubbies for storing gear. We also like the added shelf that keeps the monitor at a level for better viewing and retains workspace for when you're not on the computer.

Does anyone know where I can find the cool little laptop desk (second pic)? I have been looking for a new desk and absolutely love that one!

the last desk is a Georges Nelson swag leg desk, and at $1,750 it better be nice...

Hey Lexo, if you're in the NYC area you might save yourself a few bucks and buy mine... (While probably perfect for laptop use, I'm cramming a large-ish desktop computer on there and it just ain't working for me.)
