Bureau-style desks may be considered old-fashioned but, when you think about it, are actually perfect for use as an occasional home office. Not only do you get a fair amount of built-in storage for your money but, when the desk space is folded back up, you’re left with an attractive furniture piece that doesn’t dominate your living area, like some other home office furniture choices so often can.
Furthermore, you’re not limited to traditional styles either since there are quite a few modern alternatives. Plus, there are bureaus that combine the best of both worlds with all the features you’d expect with the benefit of modern styling.
