Because it’s where you spend your working hours. If you don’t find comfort in your desk, then you’re not going to be productive! Our blog highlights different desks for small spaces that you may not have thought of, and how you can make your space work with a desk you love!

Desks for Small Spaces: Checklist

Before you decide how small of a desk you want, create a checklist before you start your shopping. This checklist should contain:

1. Measurements of your office: You want to make sure you buy a desk that will fit your small space. Measure out the exact measurements of where your desk will be placed.
2. Color scheme: Look at your office right now and see what colors you already have flowing. Think about if you want to go with a white desk or something with wood or colors. Desks that are neutral in colors help to keep us focused.
3. Theme: what kind of a theme are you going for in your office or loft? Are you going for a rustic office, or a minimalist or chic and cozy or professional? Having these ideas in mind before shopping will save you lots of time. If you’re starting your entire office from scratch, then you have more of a wiggle room, to begin with, a brand new theme. However, if you already have furniture in your office, you want to make sure your desk theme and colors match what’s already existing.
4. Budget: Have a budget in mind before you start your shopping. You don’t want to get too carried away when you start shopping!

Shelf Desks

Shelf desks are great if you have insufficient space. The only thing that takes up the room is your chair, even then you can push it under the desk. This desk is practical for people who don’t have too many items or too many monitors. It can hold 1-2 screens as well as notebooks/paperwork you can place in the two drawers.

If your workload is light or you work from home often, this desk would be a great fit. All the white colors also help brighten the room to make your day at more joyful!

Small Desks With Extra Shelves

On the other hand, if you need more space for your accessories and paperwork. This desk is the perfect match for you. The shelves rest on the walls, so you don’t need extra space or a drill to hang them. It also has a clean look which also helps to brighten any office or room.
