How to Choose Computer Desks for a Modern Townhouse

Modern townhouses stack their rooms over several floors, which changes how you should choose a computer desk. The quietest workspace is often at the top of the house, reached by narrow stairs with tight turns, so the decision begins with which floor you will work on and how the desk will get there. In this guide we look at the character of each level, from open plan ground floors to compact top rooms with sloping ceilings, and explain how to plan the delivery route and choose between flat packed and assembled designs. We cover the desk styles that suit contemporary architecture, including metal and wood combinations, pale finishes and glass, and show how to make use of tall ceilings, half landings and awkward corners. You will also find advice on storage for vertical living, managing light and noise across floors, sizing the desk itself and staying comfortable through long working days at home....
