Solid Wood Desks

Solid wood desks have been used worldwide for centuries and are as still as popular as ever. Puji have a beautiful selection of solid wood desks in traditional and modern designs made from beautiful teak wood. Teak is an ideal wood for use in the home office as it is an attractive timber, with rich grain patterns, interesting character marks and deep colours.  It is also extremely durable, so you know it will stand the test of time, and teak desks are very easy to maintain. Any scratches or marks made accidentally from pens, staplers or office equipment can be taken care of with a light application of wax or oil.

We also sell solid wood desks made from a distinctive and contemporary combination of mahogany and teak to give an eye-catching look to your work environment. Mahogany is a very traditional wood for office use but combined with teak creates a more contemporary feel in this room.  A two tone desk with stunning textured fronts can really make an impact and can be matched with similar furniture to create an office you will love spending time in.

Here we look at the benefits of choosing solid teak desks, for your study or home office.

Choosing a solid wood desk

Timeless and robust, solid wood is the perfect material for use in the home office. Whether you want a traditional or contemporary look to this room, solid wood furniture can fit in with almost any home style. A solid teak desk, for example, can be stained dark or left natural to match your existing office furniture. Whatever finish you choose, when you buy a solid teak desk you know you are investing in a good quality furniture piece that will last.

One of the great benefits of buying from Puji Furniture is that there are so many different styles to choose from. Our range of solid hardwood furniture comes in a range of designs, from sleek contemporary products with clean lines and strong geometric shapes to more traditionally styled solid wood desks with decorative handles or lift up lids. We can also supply made to measure home office furniture if you need something bespoke.

How to find the perfect desk

Solid wood desks have been in use for reading and writing since the medieval times and have remained a place for paperwork until the 1980’s when the personal computer took hold. Desks are still used for catching up on paperwork and writing cards or letters, but are more frequently now used for lap-top or desk-top use.

Whatever you plan to use your desk for, a good quality solid wood piece not only looks good, but it is sturdy and dependable, so can lead to a better work output. A solid wood desk, such as one made from teak, is robust and reassuring, so can arguably result in better concentration than a desk made from glass, metal or plastic. Solid wood is also warm and inviting which can make you want to spend more time in your home office.

When choosing a desk, consider your home décor and existing home office furniture. As teak is available in both light and dark finishes, it can be combined with other types of wooden furniture. Alternatively for the most coordinated look, choose matching bookcases and storage made from beautiful teak wood to complete your home office design.

Whatever style you choose, you must also consider how much storage space you may need in a desk. Puji’s range of mahogany and teak desks come with two or four drawers to hide away clutter and  provide a valuable storage solution for office necessities such as pens, pencils and paperwork. Read on for more information on our current range of desks.

Accessorising your home office

Once you have found the perfect desk for your home office, think about other furniture and accessories to finish off the space. With the right finishing touches, you can create a productive space where you also feel relaxed and at ease.

Choose storage furniture which does not clutter or overwhelm the study area.  The Jaya Desk can be teamed with the Jaya Bookcase or Jaya Cupboard, which both have ample storage space and a combination of drawers and shelving for files, ink cartridges and vital office equipment.

The Indah Desk works well with the Indah Filing Cabinet, which has two drawers and adjustable shelving. Combine it with the Indah Display Unit which is a great office tidy and has a mix of shelving and drawers.

Then add a few colourful touches to make your home office welcoming and create a place you enjoy spending time in.

Picture Frames: Picture frames give your office a family feel and can work as a motivator, driving you to achieve your targets. Add photographs of children or other family members to Puji’s hand-carved Moonscape Picture frame. This is also a great way to decorate your office. 

Vases: A beautiful vase with fresh flowers adds colour to this space and creates a homely ambiance. The scent of fresh flowers is very appealing and makes you want to begin work right-away. Puji’s antique effect Turquoise Large Vase, for instance, can brighten any room or choose the oriental round Flower Vase which is decorative and functional and provides a more traditional look.

Rugs: are warm and cosy and are great to sink your feet into on a cold day. They inject colour into the office and look great against a backdrop of solid wood furniture. Puji’s Metro blue rug has a contemporary geometric pattern which brings an inviting look to this space.

Lighting:  Lighting improves the overall look of an office and is vital to prevent eye-strain, especially if there is not enough natural light entering the room. Stylish feature lighting not only looks good, it can make an otherwise pokey room appear larger. The Ivory Floor lamp is perfect for the study and will suit a contemporary interior.  The Log Table lamp makes a great desk lamp and will provide an earthy feel, or choose the Rattan Scribble lamp to create a warm glow.
