The Only Guide to Home Office Desks You’ll Ever Need

Working from home? Thinking about upgrading your setup? Or just here for a bit of procrastination? Whatever the reason, let’s talk about home office desks - because slouching at the kitchen table isn’t the vibe.

Why Your Desk Matters (And Why Your Back Will Thank You)

A dodgy desk leads to a dodgy back. That’s science. But beyond saving you from looking like a human question mark, a decent home office desk gives you space to focus, keeps your cables from turning into a spaghetti junction, and - dare we say - might even make you more productive.

Types of Home Office Desks (Yes, There’s More Than One)

Standing Desks

Good for your posture. Good for looking like you’ve got your life together. Sit-stand desks are a great option if you fancy standing up for yourself (literally).

Corner Desks

Perfect if you want to maximise space and pretend your home office is a Wall Street power hub.

Smart Desks

Built-in wireless charging, Bluetooth speakers, and USB ports? The future is now. Smart desks are ideal if you like your furniture with a side of tech.

Minimalist Desks

For those who want a desk and nothing but a desk. Clean, sleek, no nonsense. Ideal for reducing the temptation to clutter.

What to Look for in a Home Office Desk

Size Matters

Measure your space before you fall in love with a desk the size of a small aircraft carrier.

Storage Options

Drawers? Shelves? Hidden compartments for snacks? Think about what you actually need.

Material & Build

Cheap MDF might save you cash now, but will it survive a rage quit when your WiFi drops out? Go for something solid.

Setting Up Your Home Office Like a Pro

The Right Chair (Because Desks and Chairs Are a Package Deal)

A desk without a good chair is like a pub without beer. You need proper support - ergonomic chairs are a solid investment before your spine files a complaint.

Cable Management (Or How to Avoid a Trip Hazard)

Messy cables are the work of the devil. Use clips, trays, or even an old shoebox to keep things tidy.

Lighting – Don’t Work in the Dark

Natural light is best. If that’s not an option, get yourself a decent lamp. Nobody wants to look like a villain on Zoom calls.

Monitor Height – Save Your Neck

Your screen should be at eye level. If it isn’t, stack up some books or invest in a proper monitor stand.

Where to Buy Home Office Desks

Sure, you can trawl the internet, or you can make life easier and browse home office desks that are smart, stylish, and built for actual working (not just looking nice in photos).
