Home Office Desk Buying Guide
Working from home during the week? Want to declutter and get your paperwork in order? Sounds like the right desk could solve all your home office problems. We’ve curated a short and simple guide on which computer desk could be best for your home office and why it is a worthy investment.
What is the best size for a home office desk?
The best home office desk size is entirely dependent on preference, and also what purpose you want it to serve. An office desk for home is functionally the same as one for a normal office, but you'll find that desks for home offices are often a little smaller or sleeker to accommodate the space of your home.
If you are mostly working on a laptop, then a smaller desk is probably the best fit to not take up too much. On the other hand, if you deal with a lot of paperwork or equipment, it may be best to invest in a larger desk with storage built-in to help you keep your workspace clean and tidy.
It's also important to consider how much space you have available. Do you have a dedicated home office or do you have to work with whatever space is free in your home? Many of our desks for home office use include extra features such as useful storage to make your worklife easier, and there's plenty of extra office storage options to complement this including bookcases!
What styles of desk are available?
There are many different types of desks available including basic computer desks that are ideal for either laptop or computer use, all the way to specialised gaming desks for those who want to combine working with play.
We even have something for those who find themselves with a busy workspace, as you can choose a home office desk with storage to help you keep on top of your diary. Not only this, but there's a wide range of colours to choose from to match your decor in a variety of materials and finishes, giving you plenty of options.
Are there any desks with storage options?
Yes, for those wanting to make a clean workspace, we have a range of useful desks with storage that offer you a great solution to help maximise space and keep things organised. Some of our desks for home office use have a single drawer whereas others offer multiple drawers to keep all your important documents and stationery close at hand.
Alternatively, there are also useful ladder desks with convenient shelving options that allow you to not only store items away, but display your favourite trinkets or photos. There’s something for everyone here at Make It Homely!
Why should I buy a home office desk?
Working from home is a little easier when you buy an office desk for home, as they will provide you with a comfortable space that can be dedicated to working. Having an area to separate your workspace from your home is key for helping to detach at the end of a long day.
It also helps to keep your home organised and in check, ensuring your work day runs smoothly and preventing mountains of unsightly paperwork. Make sure to complement your computer desk with a comfortable office chair, as it will make working for long hours throughout the day a far more pleasant experience than sitting on a dining chair, though we do sell those too!
