Design desks: working in a beautiful space
With working from home, the desk now finds its way into every room. It needs to be functional, but also blend harmoniously with the rest of the decor.
The right dimensions
A top 120 cm wide and 60 cm deep is enough for a laptop; allow 140 to 160 cm for a monitor and paperwork. Standard height is 72 to 75 cm.
Styles and makers
Emko offers desks with clean lines and careful finishes, Trademark Living favours wood and simple forms, and House Doctor opts for a more industrial look.
Your questions
Where should I place my desk?
Ideally at right angles to a window, to enjoy natural light without glare on the screen.
How do I create a work corner in the living room?
Choose a compact, well-designed desk, an elegant table lamp and some closed storage to keep the space tidy.
Complete it with our table lamps and shelves.
