Thinking about where you should place a desk for a small space can be quite challenging! Although it would be nice, we haven’t all got the luxury of big open rooms dedicated for office work. So what’s the work around? And exactly how would you go about finding a suitable desk to fit? Well, we’re here to help. We’ll show you the best desks you can opt for to stop you from feeling the squeeze!
So you’re working from home and you need to create a workspace with the room you currently have. Don’t worry! There are options you can choose from to make the transition go much more smoothly. We believe almost any unused area can hold a usable workstation given the right planning and purchases. Simply take a look at what we recommend below:
We’ll start with the obvious and familiar choice for many of us, and that’s a compact desk. Unlike large traditional desks, these are built for smaller spaces, helping you to make the most of your available room. Our top choice in this category is the Amazonia compact desk which has an integrated cupboard to hide all your office essentials.
Don’t just take our word for it though. There’s a range of compact desks out there to choose from with differing designs. For example, some compact desks are built to be taller in height and therefore provide more room for storage. Other compact desks are installed with thinner legs to be less intrusive and maintain an open, airy feel to the room. Browse our full selection of home office furniture to find one that’s right for you.
Corner desks are great for small spaces as they can utilise unused corners. If you’ve got a corner of a room you don’t use, it’s quite possible you’d be able to fit one in, nice and snugly.
For those of us that need space for a computer monitor (or two), corner desks are also ideal. They typically offer a bigger surface area compared to standard desks, helping you to maximise your available space. The L-shape design means you can have one side for your computer setup and the other is yours to do as you wish!
If you only need your laptop to work, or if you’re really tight on space, then a laptop table is a perfect choice. These lightweight and practical tables are great for using in the living room and can slide under standing sofas, allowing you to work and be comfortable at the same time. Of course you could always double it up as a side table where a drink or some snacks wouldn’t go amiss either!
Take a look at the minimalist design of a poise task table, which is a real space saver. Simply move it around to wherever you need it and you’ll be ready for any task – hence the name! These modern looking tables are extremely easy to set up and are great for adding colour to the room.
Wall mounted folding desks won’t sacrifice any of your precious floor space as they are designed to be mounted to a wall. They are simply folded up and secured against the wall when not in use. So if you’re not keen on the idea of having an actual desk around at all times, this may be the answer you’re looking for. The folding mechanism also makes it adaptable for various uses, such as a writing surface when it’s open, or additional shelving or storage space when it’s closed. Our top pick is the hideaway desk.
At ORS UK, we don’t think a short supply of space should stop you from creating an inspiring home office. There’s plenty of options out there to help you comfortably enjoy working from home.
