Do you want to create an industrial-style home office with a faux concrete desk? We’ve listed 5 cool ideas below, from upscale executive to a money-saving DIY project.
1. L-Shaped Concrete Office Desk with Glass Top:
My favorite faux concrete desk is this stylish and functional L-shaped workstation.
The combination of wood, concrete and glass give it a modern, upscale look. Plus, the thick, concrete slab and waterfall design can make an office space look really impressive.
Note: However, the walnut veneer and concrete laminate keep the price affordable (and the weight lower too). If you want to create an executive home office that looks professional and sophisticated, this is an easy way to do it.
In addition, the unit comes with 3 drawers and 4 cube shelves for storage. Therefore, you can keep documents and supplies within reach without cluttering up your desk.
Plus, this desk is reversible, so you can set up the drawers on the right or left side.

2. Concrete Corner Desk with “Floating” Top:
I also like this L-shaped computer desk because of its unique contemporary style and ample workspace. Plus, you get 3 storage drawers that make this workstation more functional.
Of course, this office desk fits perfectly in corners. However, the back side comes finished, so you can place it in the middle of a room as well.
Similar to the model above, you can conveniently reverse the sides of this workstation to fit your needs. Plus, the open-style silver metal frame makes this desk more comfortable for people with longer legs.
The cement-look desktop is made of MDF rather than real concrete. Therefore, you can drill holes through it to hide wires and cords.
The less expensive materials make this corner desk surprisingly cheap. However, it’s quite durable, and the metal frame makes it more sturdy.

3. Desk with Industrial Faux Concrete Finish:
If you don’t need storage space and prefer a more minimal look, this industrial-style table really makes a statement. The legs are made of powder-coated heavy duty black iron, and their angled design transforms the entire look of this desk.
Although not a traditional desk, this piece of furniture is more versatile due to its simple design. For instance, you get a deeper desktop workspace for projects that require more area.
Plus, you can conveniently use it use it as a dining table when you’re not working because, well, that’s what it really is. =)

Note: If you find a desk style that you like – but it doesn’t come with a cement top – you may be able to transform the desktop using paint that looks like concrete.
4. Low-Cost Cement-Look Desk for Home Offices:
Do you want a faux concrete desk that won’t cost you a lot of money? This is the cheapest model that I found – that still has some cool, rugged style.
I like the thick metal A-frame base because it gives this desk a more industrial look. Plus, the legs make the desk strong enough to hold 200 pounds!
The 4 foot by 2 foot grey cement-effect desktop provides a good amount of workspace, while being compact enough to fit in a home office. In addition, it assembles quickly, only weighs 40 lbs and you can easily move it around.

5. DIY Concrete Desks
You can also make your own concrete finish desktop with paint or self-adhesive concrete wallpaper. This enables you to save money while also create a custom shape and style for your workspace.
First. buy shelving or particleboard at your local home improvement store. I personally like the 2′ x 4′ size because you can often find them pre-cut to these dimensions. Plus, you get plenty of desk space for most home offices.
Second, design your base. If you want desk legs that are easy, affordable and industrial, try steel sawhorses or stacking cinder blocks. Another advantage of using these materials is that they can support lots of weight.
