Rustic Office Style With an Executive Feel

Being able to work from home is a common dream. But it’s not the pajama-clad wonderland that most people picture when they think of staying home all day. Working from home can be harder than working in an office setting. You have to keep on top of things without a boss or coworkers to help you out when it gets crazy. Anyone who has to bring work back from the office gains a new appreciation for the importance of managing time and staying organized. Whether you work entirely from home or have a job that sometimes follows you there, part of the equation for success is having a calm, quiet place to work. There’s no point in sticking yourself in a home office setting that you hate. And there’s nothing wrong with feeling relaxed while you work. Log furniture helps to create a peaceful room that radiates a sense of strength and beauty. Since most of your work probably requires a desk, something like the Rustic Hickory Executive Log Desk is a good place to start when planning your home office. Individually hand-crafted, this desk features hickory log accents that take it from a plain old workspace to a lovely piece of cottage furniture. Bark is left on the logs, which are then kiln-dried for a unique look. The bottom drawers are built to accommodate hanging file folders, keeping important documents close at hand while you work. Rustic décor is all about enjoying your surroundings no matter what you’re doing. Being able to customize log furniture makes it more “your own” and means that you get pieces you can take pleasure in whether you have to spend one hour or ten hours hunkered down in the office. The Cottage Hickory desk may be purchased with one of four finishes: rustic maple, rustic alder, espresso, or clear. You can also choose a liquid glass application for the top of the desk to give it a smooth, glossy appearance that resists damage. This type of personal touch can go a long way toward keeping you sane as you work at home.
