Today we need to write about something officey, which is funny because we just had an office built in our basement! My mom needed an office for her photography business, so we had some walls put up to make an office. I think one important part of an office is the paint colour. I know I helped my mom pick a paint colour for her office because she couldn't decide on a colour. I think it's important to have a good colour, because a home office is typically a place where someone spends alot of time. Especially if they work from home. Therefore it is important to choose a colour that makes you happy, and helps you focus so that you enjoy spending time in your office area. My mom chose to paint our office a "eggplant-y" purple colour. It looks gorgeous, and the contrast with the white trim looks great. She chose purple because it is a bright happy colour, she didn't want to paint it a dreary colour, especially because she is in there a lot. Another aspect that I think is important in an office is a desk. Obviously every office needs some sort of desk, depending on what the office is used for might impact the type of desk you choose to have in your office. For example I have an "office area" in my room with a desk, but the desk is small, with no drawers. I use this area mainly for homework, so I didn't need a big desk. On the other hand my mom chose to get a BIG desk for her office, since she has lots of files which she keeps, and her camera and other things she uses for her business. It was more practical for her to choose a big desk. She has her desk custom made (because she is a freak and couldn't find any she liked;) ) she made sure that when it was made she had a special spot for all of her equipment in her desk.
Some places that I know you can get some nice desks are Ikea, Anthropology, and Urban barn. All desks range in price depending on what you are looking for. -BellaCooper

I like this desk, it looks super funky and modern, but only has one drawer for storage.
This is from Urban Barn, and costs 729.00$. |

This desk is totally boring and simple. But ifd thats what your looking for than this works.
This desk is from ikea, costing only 254.00$ |

I really like this desk ^... it is from Anthropologie.
I like the contrast between the dark wood and the black legs.
The only bad thing about this desk is that there is not
much storage room and it costs 1298.00$.

A desk is a hard piece to find! I think desks and couches are the worst items to source. It's really hard to find one that's just right. You've got a good selection here! Good job.
