What Colours Go With a Cream Computer Desk?

Cream works well with warm earthy tones such as caramel, taupe, terracotta and olive green, and with natural materials like oak, walnut, rattan and linen. For contrast, deep navy, charcoal and forest green give a cream computer desk a crisp, elegant setting. The colours to treat carefully are stark brilliant whites and very cool greys, which can make cream look dull or yellowed beside them. In this guide we explain why cream behaves differently from white and how to test colours in changing UK daylight. We suggest wall colours from warm off whites and mushroom to olive, navy and plaster pink, and show how wood, leather and rattan bring out its warmth. We also cover accent colours, metal finishes and the lighting that flatters cream, the difference between gloss and matt cream desks, and how to style a cream desk in a bedroom, living room or study alongside existing white furniture....
