How to Choose the Perfect Desk for Your Home

After more than a year of working from home, it’s time to indulge by creating a working space that’s both decorative and functional. A desk is usually the centerpiece of a home office in terms of design and activity. So, whether you’re working from home, having an online class, starting a new business or hobby, or simply browsing the net, it is important to choose a stylish one that combines comfort, functionality, and a design that you’ll love.

How to Choose the Perfect Desk for Your Home

Desk 1

Our Home’s compact drop-leaf Jacob Desk is easy to fold and easy to keep after a day’s work. It’s perfect for smaller rooms or condos.

Choose a desk that’s right for your needs, space, and style.

Consider your workflow and activities to make sure that you can use your desk comfortably and productively. Also, consider your overall house design in choosing your desk. If your place is more traditional, the classic Hambu Writing Desk would be a perfect fit:

On the other hand, the white Havana Computer Desk complements more contemporary spaces:

Consider the size and shape.

Making the mistake of buying a desk that’s either too big for your space or too small for the way you work will not be good for your productivity and comfort. You’ll also discover that apart from size, your desk shape does matter in helping you get organized. Rectangular desks, like Our Home’s Gavin’s Office Desk, are the most popular choice, and these are available in a variety of width and depth sizes.

Corner desks for awkward spaces, and wave desks that provide you with the benefits of a rectangular desk while also giving you a larger desktop, are also great alternatives.

Consider storage.

Without any storage, your home desk could end up looking cluttered and disorganized. Opting for a chest with drawers is an ideal way to keep your workspace organized and to make sure that all your essentials are at your fingertips. Better still, opt for a desk and storage combination.

Take your seat into consideration.

Sitting comfortably at your desk is necessary to ensure the utmost productivity as you work by making sure that your back is continuously supported. Our Home has ergonomic chairs, as well as desk lamps to make sure your area is properly lighted.
