Desks of dark color in an interior

A dark-colored desk is often used to design a workplace, both in the home and in the office. Let's try to figure out what is the reason and how to choose such a piece of furniture.

The writing desk of a dark shade has a number of advantages:

• It always looks expensive, brings chic and elegance to the interior.
• According to Feng Shui, dark colors attract wealth and money.
• Dark desk increases performance and does not distract from classes. On such a product, sheets of paper are more noticeable, which helps to concentrate attention on them.

But there are such attributes and disadvantages:

• Dark desk is easy to scratch. And these defects are immediately visible on the muted surface.
• Dust on the dark tabletop is also immediately noticeable.Such a desk will have to wipe more often than light.

There are several types of materials that are used for the manufacture of desks of dark color.

• Tree. Perhaps the most common material. It is eco-friendly and practical. Products from the massif of a tree will serve not one year. Wooden tables always look rich and show the status of the owner. But they are quite expensive. In addition, these products look massive, so they often require a separate room.
• LDSP. This is a cheap material that imitates a wooden surface. It is made of sawdust using formaldehyde resins, and plates are molded with a thermal press. The disadvantage of this material is that it cannot be processed at all. Also, LDSP does not tolerate moisture.

• MDF. Another analogue of natural wood. It is also made from residues from wood processing, but without the addition of toxic resins. This material is more environmentally friendly than the previous one. It can take various forms and even imitate wood carving. In addition, products made from this material can be restored, if necessary.
• Tinted glass. This material is often used for the manufacture of countertops desk. The dark color here is obtained by sticking a special film on the product. However, this material is quite fragile. If it is careless, it can be broken even if the glass is tempered and has a decent thickness. In addition, this tabletop requires some care, as it is clearly visible fingerprints.
• Plastic. Writing tables for children, which can grow with their owner, are most often made from this material.

Modern industry offers a fairly wide selection of desks of a dark shade completely different in shape. For the equipment of the cabinet, models of the standard rectangular shape are most often used, where in addition to the working surface there are various boxes for storing the necessary papers. But recently these tables have become quite popular to make a notch on the table top in the place where the chair is installed. This form is considered more ergonomic to work.

Sometimes the desk is placed in the corner of the room. For such an arrangement, the g-shaped design.This makes it possible to increase the working area.

Recently, round-shaped desks are often used in modern interiors. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, sharp corners can arouse aggression, and rounded shapes soothe and increase efficiency.

For the equipment of the workplace at home (including small apartments) transforming tables are often used. Here are popular models in the form of a secretary. When closed, such a table is more like a cupboard, but the door in it is folding, so you get a full-fledged workplace with shelves where you can store the necessary paper and writing materials.

For children, writing desks are quite popular, which allow you to change the height and angle of the tabletop. This is very important for the correct posture of the baby during classes.

A desk of dark color, oddly enough, can have many shades.

Here are the most popular:

• The black. This color for the desk is quite popular, especially in modern interiors. Here the design can have several shades:
• Raven wing - with a blue tone,
• Bull's blood is quite rich black with a reddish tint.
• Aventurine - such a surface has a metallic luster, and others.

In this case, a black desk can have both a matte finish and glossy finish.

Wood colors:

• The most popular among the dark shades is the color of wenge. This is a brown-black color scheme, which looks quite expensive. But often the furniture of this tone makes the interior gloomy, so it is combined with the facades of bleached oak. Also to dark wood can be attributed to the color walnut eco. It is a dark brown shade that is slightly lighter than the wenge tone.
• Another dark shade of wood is Shimo ash. This is a gray-brown tone that fits well into the bright interior of the room.
• The Red tree. Used in expensive classic interiors, as well as cabinets, decorated in modern style.

Choosing a writing dark shades, it is worth considering several aspects.

• Price. It depends on the material from which the desk is made, its size, as well as on its origin (that is, whether the product is made according to an individual project or is a factory design). The most expensive product will be made from rare species of wood to order.
• Purpose of the roomwhere the table is installed. If it is a bedroom or living room, then it is better to use tables that are hidden from prying eyes. This design will not spoil the appearance of the room, but it is possible to have a full-fledged workplace. In separate rooms, of course, good-quality stationary pieces of furniture are installed.

• Dimensions. When choosing a dark desk, like any other, an important role is played by its size. It should be perfect for you or your child. When determining the size of the tabletop, it is worth putting your hands on it. Elbows should not be hung from it. We determine the appropriate height by sitting on a chair behind it. The legs should stand on the floor at a right angle, the back should be straight, and the tabletop should be at the level of the solar plexus.

Desks are necessary for us to work and study. Many homes have this attribute.

Here are some good ideas for creating an interior with this dark-colored product:

• A dark table of simple wenge color in combination with black wallpaper can be diluted with white parquet on the floor.
• A dark secretary in a bright country style room would be quite appropriate.

• A solid mahogany table, the tabletop of which is decorated with leather inserts, will look organically both in the office of the general director of a large company and in the home working corner.
• The dark desk in the nursery can be complemented by bright cabinet and cabinet fronts. So, he will not make the interior of this room gloomy.
