Most natural stone importers and
fabricators are aware that the kitchen and bathroom are prime locations
for the installation of materials like granite, marble,
limestone, quartzite, quartz, slate, gemstone, onyx, and more. These
stones also make guest appearances in other areas of the home too, such
as fireplace surrounds, home bars, bulter’s pantries, and, last but not
least, the home office. Why not install some luxury into your home work
area to feel like you’re in a lavish skyscraper in Manhattan? In this
article we’re going explain how you can follow these design principals
to create a home office that’s worthy of a Fortune 500 company.
A Natural Stone Office Desk
A granite office desk lends class and
sophistication to the entire room. As a matter of practicality, granite
is very durable by nature, and is not easily damaged. This means it
would be a good desk material even if it were not beautiful, natural,
and elegant. Granite is a much better, and longer lasting option, than
any wood-based desk. Despite its rugged nature, you will want to add a
desk mat to place items like your coffee mug, notepads, and keyboard.
This will help keep the granite surface free from blemishes.
There are several style options for your
granite office desk. You can create an L-shape that will allow for
plenty of space to add a workstation for your spouse or you can opt for
the class desk style, with space for one. Either way, granite, or
another natural stone, will have your desk being the visual masterpiece
of your home office.
Natural Stone Coffee Table
If your home office is spacious, consider adding a natural stone coffee
table, which can really increase the overall design and value of your
home office. For this piece, consider matching the coffee table’s
surface to your natural stone desk, or perhaps pick a complimentary
color. Marble, while not ideal for kitchen countertops, is excellent for
a coffee table in a low traffic area like a home office. It will
provide an elegant setting to host business meetings or to simply
wind-down with a book at the end of your workday.
