We found small writing and secretary desks for small spaces and big ideas. There are even small standing desks and desks for kid that'll get the job done.
Homes and personal spaces are getting smaller. That’s just a fact.
And the phenomenon of doing more with less space isn’t just limited to high-demand areas like San Francisco, New York City and Hong Kong — though they might’ve been the first to perfect small-space living. It’s part of “downsizing the American Dream,” as The Washington Post said.
Still, a small space might not always feel productive when you’re working from home or doing a creative hobby like drawing or writing. A proper desk can make a huge difference, although finding one that fits your space and also your aesthetic can be hard — but it’s not impossible.
There are compact secretary desks that transform a nook into a workspace (our editor recently purchased this one from West Elm and swears by it for small-space living), leaning ladder desks and even corner desks to make the most of every angle. There are even affordable kids desks, so you can make a study space that’s just for them.
Have some extra room and looking for something a little more ergonomic? There are plenty of small space standing desks for a home office out there, too.
We’ve found 30 desks that are perfect for small spaces and fit with a wide range of decors, whether you need a functioning work space or a place to practice your craft.
