Your desk is more than a workspace - it’s a personal statement. Whether you’re building your dream home office or upgrading your 9–5 setup, how you style your desk sets the tone for how you work, create, and feel throughout the day.

At Funky Chunky Furniture, we craft solid wood desks that are beautiful by design and built to last. Now, let’s help you bring them to life with these inspired styling ideas tailored to a variety of aesthetics.

 

 

Industrial Style Desks 

Look: Bold, strong, and polished with a professional edge

How to Create this Style:

  • Choose a desk with a darker stain and matte black metal frame like our Armstrong Desk

  • Pair with a high-back leather chair

  • Style with wire baskets for paper

  • Add statement lighting — an arched floor lamp or Edison bulb desk light

  • Keep desk décor minimal: a premium notepad, fountain pen, and a branded mug


Scandi Style Desks

Look: Light, airy, and focused on function


How to Style:

  • Use a pale wood desk with slim tapered legs like our Salter Oak Desk

  • Match with a soft fabric chair in gray, cream, or pastel

  • Add a small plant (like a succulent) and stackable trays in natural textures

  • Keep the palette soft: whites, soft blues, light grays

  • Use trinket boxes to tidy loose items away and maintain a minimalistic look

 

Rustic Style Desks

Look: Raw textures and natural charm blended with modern elements


How to Style:

  • Choose a chunky, reclaimed wood desk with industrial-style steel legs like our Ouseburn Desk with Storage

  • Add a lamp in brass or matte black

  • Use earthy accessories — monitor riser, tray, pen holder
