Find The Desk That Fits Your Work Habits

Your desk should be a personal, professional, and creative place where you can concentrate on the task at hand, control your environment, and improve your productivity. Far too often, people neglect their work space, whether it’s at the company office or at home, but it’s a room that deeply affects your mental well-being and the quality of your work. Many of the most productive people treat their desks as a kind of shrine to their creative process, carefully controlling it to facilitate what’s best for them.

Staying Grounded

In the early days of laptops, later reinforced by tablets and smartphones, the nomadic worker became a popular marketing and workforce myth: with new technology, no one was meant to be tethered to the same, monotonous space day in and day out. They would be free to roam wherever they pleased and the growth of freelancing across industries today has also seen a rise in co-working spaces and café culture geared more toward productivity than socialization. However, even freelance workers have found that owning their own desk, whether it’s in an office or at home, grounds their work and allows them to create a space that reflects their own personality. An office is a very personal thing and when you’re thinking it’s finally time to create the space that reflects your work habits, you should have a custom wood desk or office collection. A Woodcraft desk is handcrafted – we make traditional, executive-style collections as well as contemporary styles that will fit your home office or study.

At the Workplace

Contemporary office design is moving away from individually owned desks and toward a variety of workspaces that promote collaboration – while there have been negative effects on productivity caused by the lack of privacy, round shapes have also been proven to encourage collaborative work and improve team-based productivity. There’s also been a move toward creating collective but different spaces, so that teams and individuals can move through an office to find a space that complements the task at hand. Solid wood makes an excellent signature office piece and a custom design makes a true statement to both employees and the clients who come through your office. Talk to Woodcraft about building furniture for co-working pieces that can improve productivity and create the kind of collaborative energy your company needs to inspire.

Home Office

For some, the desk at their office never truly feels like their own; one study on workplace productivity by consultants Identity Realization found that office workers connect more to their job and employer if they’re given more control over their own workspace. People already feel very strongly about the state of their desks: some work better with a creative clutter or reminders of work in progress, whereas others are fastidious about keeping their space clean and organized so that they can concentrate on the task at hand. If you’re serious about rejuvenating your workspace, consider a unique solid wood desk from Woodcraft that speaks to your work habits and your personality, and helps you get started on what’s important.
