White desk decor ideas for home office
Pros and cons of white desks
The white color in home office desks and other furniture has many advantages. First of all, the white color in the decoration makes the room look bigger, brighter, and cleaner. Thus, a white desk is perfect for a small bedroom or any other small room. And, it’s also better because dust doesn’t show up immediately. From experience, darker surfaces need to be cleaned almost every day and maybe twice a day.
Moreover, it pairs harmonically with all colors, materials, and textures. So, it’s easier to decorate with the style you prefer and the room looks so fresh and modern when you add greenery. Especially, if you are a lover of minimalism, white is ideal for you to reduce a cluttered feeling in your workspace. Plus, it’s more affordable as many companies offer their white desks at lower prices than the other colors.
On the contrary, many people consider white desks and furniture very cold and impersonal. That’s why they believe they belong only to hospitals, labs, and medical offices. Others find white desks to look cheap and they prefer the classical and warmer options of wood shades. Moreover, stains on white surfaces are more obvious and it’s difficult to clean them. Plus, some white desks may look yellowish with the years.
