Installing a space-saving functional computer desk in an underutilized space of a room is a genius idea. While traditional desks are useful, they are often bulky and take up too much space. Thus, big desks are usually delegated to out-of-the-way rooms such as a study, library, or home office space – all far from the center of home activity. Some people lacking space make do with no desk at all. When it comes time for ordinary daily tasks like opening mail, reading emails, supervising kids’ homework, or paying bills online, the kitchen countertop is often utilized instead. Then, everything needs to be moved to prepare dinner. Incorporating a small space-saving desk into a busy room of the home can help reduce countertop clutter while serving as a place to sort mail, use laptops, supervise homework, and more. Space-saving desks also provide a place to keep computer accessories like cellphone and computer cords contained.
Today’s innovative products on the market include wall-mounted desk units that provide flip-down workstations, hideaway desks with closable doors to hide clutter and featuring pull-out keyboards, drop-leaf floating desks, and more. Many units offer built-in organizing features such as shelving, cubbies, drawers, baskets, hooks, and more. To add to the excitement, space-saving desks come in many shapes, sizes, finishes, and price points. To decide which one is right for you, consider your needs and decorating style. Also consider the direction you’d like to face (some face the wall) and proximity to outlets, lighting, and more. To get a perfect fit, always measure carefully and make sure there is ample space for the chair or work stool of your choice. As a bonus, most desks can be ordered online, delivered to your home, and are easy to set up or install. Be sure to shop around and consider pricing, read reviews and product descriptions, double-check measurements, and buy from a reputable vendor. Also, familiarize yourself with company exchange and return policies.
With a little cleverness, it’s easy to create a practical workspace in the busiest part of the home that can also help to contain clutter. Together, functionality and storage can be yours by creating a desk area that takes up very little space. Whether it be a wall-mounted fold-up desk that frees up floor space, a practical corner cabinet workspace, or a movable shelf desk on rolling casters that can serve as a wall-divider, endless options are out there to fit your personal or professional needs.
