It’s the middle of the week again! I hope you’ve all had a productive few days, whatever you’ve been doing!
Today I want to talk about desks. Now, I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be moving because I don’t want to rush into getting a new place. I’m keeping my eyes open to the market, continuing with viewings and exploring the various areas of Norwich. So, although I wanted to get all my new furniture when I moved, I’ve decided that I might need to get a few bits and bobs now. So, I’m thinking cheep and cheerful in terms of a desk and what better place to start looking than good old Ikea.
1 – EXPEDIT 2 – MALM 3 – LINNMON/LERBERG
I’ve picked 3 practical desks which would fit in well in my current study but will also have the ability to adapt when I move. The first desk is combined with a load of shelving which is always handy. I have a lot of books, photography equipment and notebooks which need storing away neatly but are easy to access. The second desk also looks practical as it has a pull-out panel for extra space. This would be handy when taking photos of products, using note books or for tea and snacks. Finally, the third table I like in the ikea collection is the beautifully plain two toned desk. You can pick from a variety of colours for the table top and the legs.
I think I’ll see what else is on offer but I’ll be sure to let you know what I decide on.
Once I’ve moved I think I’ll probably try and hunt down a bureau but it all depends on the style I decide to go for in my study.
What do you think of the 3 desks I picked?

Did you know I was looking for a desk? It’s been hard to find anything on the market under £100 that isn’t from Ikea. So Ikea it is. I’ve looked at no.2 and 3 here last week. What do you reckon on the sturdiness of no3? I’m not convinced it would be that decent but I do like it.
Going to buy one soon but I have to buy a new laptop first.

I’m really not sure. I want to pop in and find out a little more info or see if anyone has reviewed it. If they have, i’ll pass on the link!
Of those 3, my fave is number 1 – the extra storage will always come in handy! Slightly off topic, but have you seen the dressing table in the Malm range? It is beautiful!
Hey, no I haven’t – but I’ll check it out today as I want to put together a post about dressing tables. x
I love IKEA. My husband and I furnished our first apartment together without going broke thanks to them. I prefer no 2, but if you want storage as well, no 3.

I love having a look around Ikea. I would say nr. 1 if you are in need for storage as well, because as for taking photos it could also be used for that as a good background with the books maybe? 🙂

That’s a very good point, Christina. I like that one too. I need to make a decision at the end of next week because that’s when I move.
