White Writing Desks: Writing Desks for Decoration

More on White Writing Desks

While there has already been one post on white writing desks on this blog, there are enough people online who are searching for information that it seemed like a really good time to put up another subject post on the matter. These types of desks are not the most common, seeing as how in actual offices there is definitely not a high demand for painted office furniture, but either for the gray cookie cutter writing desks that you might see in a cubicle, or for the classic wood desks or wood finish desks.

So why would anyone want a white writing desk? Well this is actually a good question, and one that might partially be answered by another popular search: "antique white writing desks." Many of these desks were designed for children as decorations, hence the reason they would be painted white. This also means that some antique white writing desks are seen as collectible or valuable because if you trace back their history enough you will find they belonged to a well off or maybe even a royal family.

White desks are popular in general because they are often specifically aimed at kids. Having furniture that makes a little girl's or little boy's room look really nice while also giving them a place to write, read, draw, and play is a bonus for everyone involved. White writing desks for kdis can often be some of the best furniture for this function that you'll end up finding.

While white writing desks aren't for everyone, there are many writing desks that can fill in for whatever your individual needs are. Beyond that, take a look around for the piece of office furniture that serves your needs best and you'll be sure not to be disappointed.

White writing desks are one of the ugliest things out there. Why anyone would want one in their home is beyond me. I cannot believe people are actually looking at them as antiques, or as something they would want in their home. The only good thing about a white writing desk is that the kids can play on it and destroy it, and leave my good looking furniture alone.

Jon, I completely agree with you, actually, LOL. There is a very high demand for white writing desks, and why is beyond me. I guess decorative for a girl's bedroom? Why would anyone want to paint finely finished wood? Black writing desks I can understand, even if I disagree, but white? Yeah, that's one of my least favorite models of writing desk by far.
