With the current decrease of square footage in a home, it is sometimes hard to select the right furniture and ultimately design a space that fits your needs. At times, many people find themselves doing work in bed, and at the same time, it's too often that our kids are doing their homework at the dinner table. This type of behavior can cause us develop bad habits without even realizing it. Working under poor light can negatively affect the eyes while siting in the wrong position for prolonged periods of time can also significantly affect our health. A multi-functional piece of furniture placed in the right spot, with the correct lighting, can help us resolve many of these problems, all at the same time. In this case, the utilization of a console table as a working desk gives us both the trendy look to accessorize our homes as well as a functional work-space. This console table that transforms into an L shaped desk provides enough space to work and to accessorize!

Adding a multi-functional chair to the space is also key. This transitional style chair goes perfect with almost any design, simultaneously creating an elegant look. The chair can be moved to the side when the desk is not in use and the space would still look fabulous. Finally, the perfect ending touch can be established by adding some decorative accents and a table lamp, to illuminate the space when needed.
