Where to put a secretary style computer desk?
Since its storage space is so discrete, you can use a secretary style computer desk in a number of places in your home wherever you do your desk work, including the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
In some of these spaces, especially those with a contemporary look, it might be better to choose a desk in a light pastel rather than one in the traditional dark wood. These desks allow you to do your work, and then close your work area up when guests come so the room looks tidy. While some let you close off the working surface while leaving cubbyholes exposed, others can be completely “sealed.” Desks in this style do not draw attention to themselves so other decoration in the room can be the focus.
