When investing in your work space, the type of wood you choose for your desk is a big factor. Different woods have different personalities. The grain naturally differs, as well as the colour, but also texture and weight can give your desk its unique character.
So what wood should you choose? It depends on the look you are going for… try and think of key words to describe the office you want, here’s a few to get you thinking:
Scandy
Country Club
Modern
Sleek
Shabby Chic
Rustic
Industrial
Once you have some keywords down, start searching on the usual sites for inspiration, and see what wood appears in those images. Also find inspiration from our projects look book.

Another consideration is that wood in its original state is very different to the finished article in a piece of furniture.
Our standard desktops are offered in oak and blackwood (though we can make your desk top in any wood you like, just get in touch for a quote). Why these two? We feel they are two ends of the spectrum.
Blackwood is a rustic wood with a lot of character. It can be a very natural wood, but also very bold. If you want to make a statement, this is the wood to use to create a perfect center piece that will draw attention. Have a look at our Conference tables for inspiration.
Oak is a light wood that with bags of character. It’s knots and grain are instantly recognisable but not over powering. Look at some of our desks for inspiration.
Other woods available at www.ironoak.co.za are: Walnut, Kiaat, Mahogany and American Ashwood.
