How to Style Black Glass Computer Desks for Cosy Season

Black glass computer desks are sleek and modern, but they can feel cool once the evenings draw in. The way to style one for cosy season is to balance its glossy, dark surface with warmth: layered lamp light in warm white tones, soft textiles such as wool and boucle, natural materials like wood, leather and ceramic, and a slightly richer colour palette in the rest of the room.

In this guide we look at how to light a dark glass desk without glare, which rugs and throws soften the space, how to choose accessories that add texture, and how to keep the surface looking clean and polished through the darker months.

The result is a desk that feels inviting to sit at on a dark afternoon while remaining a practical place to get work done....
