cool small desks for tiny workspaces cover

No space for a home office? No worries, there should be a small nook that can house a desk and a chair – you won’t need more than that for working or studying. If you still hesitate, I’m ready to share some tiny desks that can fit many corners and nooks.

Small Desks

Choose or DIY a desk according to the style of the room where you are going to have it. It can be a vintage bureau, a modern sleek desk, a farmhouse trestle one, a minimalist laconic one. If you go for a small desk in your bedroom, it can also function as a nightstand or as a vanity if you need one – just make sure you have enough light here. Having chosen a desk, go for a comfortable chair that will provide very cozy sitting and think of enough lights and lamps as I said above. Actually, these are the basics for working but you may also want some wall-mounted shelves for storage or a unit on the floor, it’s up to you.

Small Ladder Desks

A tiny ladder-like desk is another idea for a small working space, and it’s great for those who don’t want to write or draw here – it’s mostly for your laptop and working with it. Such a piece includes several shelves and a desk surface, and it’s ideal for a tiny nook – it’s like a storage unit with a bonus, it looks very lightweight and cool. Add a chair and hang some bulbs over the space, attach a grid for memos on the wall or a couple of artworks, and voila, your workspace is ready. Get inspired!
