And of course, no work or home office is complete without a sturdy, functional and comfortable desk to work from.

Corner desks

If you’re tight on space or you’re trying to optimise the space you have available, corner desks are a great option, as they are far less intrusive than traditional shaped desks. Ideal for accommodating awkward spaces, corner desks are perfect for work and home office environments.

Just because corner desks tend to have a little less surface space than traditional options, it doesn’t mean that you’ll have to compromise on storage. The vast majority of corner desks have lots of integrated storage solutions for stationary, important paperwork, and any other office essentials that you need to hand during your working day.

What to consider when buying a corner desk

 Corner desks are best suited to small offices or home office environments with limited or awkward space. Before you choose the perfect corner office desk, there’s a lot you will need to consider, including the below factors:

  • Will the desk fit in your working space? Always be sure to measure.
  • Will the desk accommodate your equipment needs?
  • Does the corner desk promote a healthy posture?
  • Can the desk be moved easily?
  • Does the desk offer plenty of storage space?
  • What is the desk made from – will it last?

Whether you’re on the hunt for a small, medium or large corner desk, you will find a wide range of designs that will accommodate your needs.

If you’re working with a large space, a large corner desk is ideal, providing plenty of surface space. However, if you have a smaller space, there are also plenty of medium and smaller corner desks available.

Of course, it goes without saying that you should always take accurate dimensions of the room you will be working in, ensuring that there is also enough space for your office chair.

Storage

From built-in drawers and cupboards, through to pull out laptop stands, today’s corner desks offer a whole host of different storage solutions that will allow you to keep your working area as tidy as possible.

After all, in any office space, it’s important to keep your working environment clean, organised and accessible. With this in mind, choosing a corner desk with enough storage should be high on your list of priorities.

Choosing the perfect finish

Available in a wide range of finishes and designs, you will be able to choose a corner desk that will complement and enhance the existing décor of your office.

When it comes to choosing a finish, the right option for you will depend on how often you plan to use your desk and what it will be used for. For example, although MDF desks offer value, longevity and come in a multitude of finishes, a solid wood desk will last you a lot longer than MDF.

There’s also the option to choose a metal corner desk. Metal desks are fireproof and waterproof, although they are also prone to scratching.
