As the world gets more crowded and our living spaces become more cramped, setting up an at-home work setup is a luxury. The coronavirus pandemic has left many office workers fashioning their sofas and dining tables into temporary home offices. Luckily many furniture brands are making smaller desks to accommodate smaller living environments. We don’t know when we can head back to the office again, but until then, these 15 tiny desks (no, not that Tiny Desk) will help us make the best of WFH life.
Those super tight on space might fare well with a tray table so you can get work done on the sofa (or bed). This one from Walmart is adjustable so you can put your screen at the optimal eye level, and there's a little desk space plus a cup holder.
If you're looking for the bare minimum desk, head to Ikea. The $49 Micke, the smallest of the Micke family, is 29 inches across and has a single drawer with ample space.
We don’t know what brand this is either. But it’s a $50 desk that folds up so it’s virtually non-existent when you aren’t working on it. Just get this if you can’t be bothered with any other option.
The Hayward desk is a wall-mounted desk for those who are really tight on space. The minimally obtrusive desk features a couple drawers for added utility to an already pragmatic work-from-home solution.
Maximize your home's space by using a corner desk. The Bowie has a wood tabletop finished with a metal mesh back. And if you're someone who still uses pens and pencils, there's an additional storage cup for your stationery.
The Sanner desk is a wall-mounted fold-out desk for those who are really tight on space. The desk features an interior storage nook. When folded, the desk juts out just four inches from the wall as if it’s not even there.
Listen, if you're really just going to work on your sofa all day, try this c-table from Pottery Barn. It's not the best work-from-home solution, but it does give you a space to do work, and it doubles as a table for eating and watching TV.
Ladders are a great way to save square footage and add storage space. The Helix has three shelves, one for a work space and two for storage, and the walnut veneer and black powder-coated steel pair well together for a sleek setup. Safety tip: CB2 recommends securing the ladder to the wall to avoid accidents.
If you can't spare too much square footage, build upwards. This Hutch desk from Urban Outfitters is as affordable as it is space-saving. With two small storage shelves for your office gear and an overhead shelf for other miscellaneous items, the Kirby is the desk for those with a lot of stuff and nowhere to put it.
The designers at interior architect agency Fyra know what it’s like to use a stack of books as a desk. They designed the Fyra to work as a desk or a shelf. The desk is screw-free and can be easily assembled and disassembled. The back panel can be repurposed into a top shelf for miscellaneous items or as an elevated tabletop for working while standing up.
For those with lots of loose papers and knick knacks, the Industrial Storage Mini Desk keeps your messes out of sight. We rarely see enough mango wood in furniture, but West Elm pairs it perfectly with a black steel frame. The desk looks a bit like something you’d pick up at a flea market — and that just makes it cooler.
Like the desk-chair hybrids of your childhood school days, the Knoll Toboggan Chair Desk lets you carve out a little home office wherever there’s space. The interesting shape lets users move 360 degrees without bumping into the frame or table, and the desk comes in fun, vibrant colors like dark red and slate blue.
Mash Studios’ wall-mounted desk doubles as a shelving unit when it’s not your work space. The desk is made from oil-finished English walnut and is as space-saving as they come. Cord holes on either side of the desk keep wires tidy, and a sliding powder-coated aluminum sheath hides messes.
