corner desks with pros and cons cover

Creating a highly functional home office layout is essential to make your working more effective and the processes more comfortable. Finding proper furnishing solutions is one of the key ideas to succeed, and a corner desk is a great piece for those who need much working space or have lots of gadgets, and for shared home offices. Considering of having one? Let’s take a look at pros and cons to find out if you need it.

Pros

The main advantage of such a desk is saving space, which is a must for a small home office. Add as many drawers or under the desk storage units as you need and use all the surface for work and placing things you might need. You may also attach some storage units over the desk, too, whether they are closed or open ones. No matter how small or peculiarly shaped the room is, an L-shaped desk will fit perfectly in the corner of your choice.

Maximum convenience is another advantage of a corner desk. You simply need to turn from one side of the L-shaped unit to the other when you have to perform different tasks.

Cons

Reduced privacy: when you face the corner while working, everyone will walk behind you and see what is on your computer. This is a considerable drawback if you share your office.

Sometimes you have to face a wall, and for some people, this can be quite frustrating and affect their productivity adversely. It can also be inconvenient, if you have to communicate with other people who work in the same office.
