There’s no arguing that an office is a functional space that should be designed for maximum productivity. But we also won’t sit here and tell you that we aren’t a whole lot more productive in an office space that’s beautiful, chic and well-organized. We like to think that being amidst stylish surroundings helps get us in a creative, elevated mindset that allows us to do our best work.

At the center of any well-designed office space: The perfect desk. We’re currently obsessed with this leather-topped partners desk we have in our inventory. If you’re like us and you work best when form and function are in harmony, here are three ideas for styling this antique beauty.

The Feminine Approach.
A heavy desk like this one can still feel at home in the office of a bossylady. The key to achieving the look is to balance out a masculine piece with feminine lines, soft colors, and weathered touches, all of which add a softness to the style.

The Boy’s Club
Of course, the desk is also perfect for an old-school, wood-paneled, tartan-everywhere, scotch-on-the-bar kind of office, too.

The Modern-Eclectic Take
The desk silhouette is undeniably traditional, but that doesn’t mean it can’t feel at home in a more modern space. Surrounding it with contemporary pieces feels fresh and creative.
