Default Looking for a desk & lounge
So i have started doing a little shopping for the new place however I'm pretty stumped on two key objects that will be in MY room my Mums cave so to speak.

The room is rectangular, and we are having white built in cabinetry similar to the photo shown, to house all my magazines, books & trinkets. We are having lime washed bamboo flooring and I already have a coffee table similar to the one shown in the pic and just bought this art work today.

I want to put a desk in front of my large full length window and I have been looking everywhere I go however I just cannot seem to find anything that i have fallen in love with. Im also not sure what colour desk, white or a blonde wood.

Im also looking for a lounge to go in this room. Needs to be one 3 seater, preferably leather or a durable fabric. Not really sure what style to pick. I don't want it to be too relaxed or formal, something in-between and comfy

Budget is pretty tight, would love to hear some suggestions

I love the desks with the x or z shaped legs if that makes sense?
Like the one TIM bought from Freedom I think.

Was it this one?

This is the only one that i have really liked, but I'm not sure it is deep enough to fit my iMac and everything else.

What about this desk? I like a solid white against your lime washed floor (great choice by the way). It is 150cm W x 55cm D x 75cm H.

Im not sure if this style would suit? Could be hit and miss with the colour.

I love these but not big enough. It is going in front of a window that is 2400 long and it will get lost. I have ordered the shorthand desks for my boys rooms
