The office desk is one of the vital items of an office since an office cannot easily function without a desk. A desk imparts the functional and professional look to the office. But with the rising prices of furnishing items it is not always possible to purchase new desks when the old ones wear out. A spacious, good looking desk can cost you a fortune. But at the same time you cannot work without a proper desk in your office. To solve the problem, try painting! Yes, you read it right! If you are desperately in need of a desk but cannot afford to buy a new one, just paint your old desk to give it a new and fresh look.
If your old office desk is in good condition, you do not have to worry about anything! Just make sure that it is spacious enough and has enough storage space in it. If these requirements are fulfilled, just pick up some paint and go ahead with the painting of the desk. Painting is one of the easiest methods that can be employed to bring life to an old and used desk. If you have a wood desk then it will be even easier because painting a wood desk is simple. It does not require any expertise and once repainted, it can be used for your work purposes.
Oak Desks For Home Office
Follow the instructions to be able to carry out the job of painting easily. Before you actually start painting, sand the desk and wipe it down to get rid of dirt and grease. Use warm soap and water to wash the desk for the best results. While painting the office desk, remember to remove all the hardware like the hinges, knobs and drawers. These should be painted later on and not at the same time as the desk. Both the desk and the hardware should be sanded adequately to make their surface smooth and fit for painting. Bumpy surfaces would not enable the smooth painting of the desk. Priming the desk would be your next step once you are done with the cleaning and sanding of the desk.
You cannot just jump in and start painting without priming it first. Apply a layer of primer to the desk after sanding it and leave it for a day to let it dry properly. Once the primer dries, you can go ahead with the painting. For painting you would need a paint brush and roller. Apply the paint properly and since the desks require a second coat of painting, let the first coat of paint dry. Once it dries, add the second coat of paint. To give the desk a bright and polished look, apply varnish after painting it. Once you are done with this process, your desk will be ready to use. Though painting an old office desk does not call for skill, if you are not sure about your expertise, get a professional for the job.
