Floating Desks+Matching Shelves
One of the coolest modern ideas that is very popular for workspaces of any kind is a floating desk with matching floating shelves over it. Such a combo looks very laconic and stylish, it’s ideal for modern, Scandinavian, minimalist, industrial and many other spaces. The desk is usually wider than the shelves above it to make sitting at it comfier, and the shelves and desk are usually matching ones – of the same plywood or wood. If there isn’t enough light, go for lit up shelves and additional lamps. The desk may provide some storage space – drawers or compartments or be just think and sleek to match the look even better.

Floating Desks
If you needn’t any shelves or don’t want to make any, a floating desk will be a nice choice, too. Attach one to the wall next to the window to get enough light, or take a whole wall. Corner floating desks are also nice – it’s a great way to decorate an awkward corner. If you need a larger desk, for example, a desk for two or three, take a couple of walls and build a long floating desk. Don’t forget of storage space – drawers and box compartments are welcome!
