Hi! It really depends on where the desk is located. In a dark room you want it to be lighter, and vice versa for a light room.

I agree it depends where you are going to put it and the style you are trying to create but I find grey is always a good choice for desks. You can use lighter or darker shades to suit most colour schemes and its a classic. Another favourite is black but you might have a job covering that white finish! Good luck with whatever you decide :-)

I think a medium to darkish grey would look outstanding!

I think you should do it in a two tone to go with whatever room you are putting it in. Make it the piece that stands out in the room.

I would try a warmer color (such as "antibes green"). Paint the desk one color, and then maybe a pattern (such as checkerboard or mini stripes) on the drawers using shades of the green lightened with "old white". Good luck!

Is it for resale, or will you be using it in your own home? And is it for a kid's room or an adult's office? It's hard to answer without knowing what the room looks like. A creamy off-white or pale taupe color would work almost anywhere. Whatever you do, I'd paint it all one color. No two tone/pattern/faux finish. I think furniture looks nicer and more expensive with a "less is more" approach. Save the pattern and texture for textiles and art.

Depends on whose room it's for. For a girl or female teen, a pastel pink. For a boy, a light grey or pastel green. For an office, a grey or dark beige. For your bedroom, like for a vanity, I think pure white with a stencil on the front of the drawers would look nice.

This would be beautiful in a deep chocolate and take some sand paper and distress it a little...the handles i would do in a deep red or silver...and then i would polish it so your distressed look could be brought out...they are so many things you could do with this..i hope you show us a pic after you decide on what color or theme you are going to go with..have some fun and use your imagation...

Mint green! The wood top will work with the minty color in any room.
