The big problem we have when it comes to home offices is small spaces. Naturally we don’t all want to dedicate huge chunks of our home to work - and not all of us can spare the space. As well, with rising rent and property running costs, even businesses are looking to downsize their premises and look for cost efficient options to remain profitable. 

The privilege of space is at an all time high so with this in mind, choosing office furniture that will last and can be adaptable to multiple needs is essential. Instead of going for the trendy pieces, think about your space and what compromises can be made to suit both your practical needs and aesthetic tastes. 

Here’s our favourite pieces: 

Small Office Desks

The Eco Easy Desk

An off-piste suggestion here but a legitimate one all the same! Made from entirely recyclable honeycomb cardboard, this pop-up desk is assembled and un-assembled in minutes. Easily stored under a sofa or bed, this is the perfect desk for those tight on space and not wanting to invest huge amounts. It holds up to 50kg and comes with a 2 year warranty - so sturdiness isn’t compromised! 

The Small Professional Desk

Coming in at a meter wide and 60cm in depth, this desk won’t encroach too much into your space. We always recommend that for a home desk you go for 600mm as it’s more in keeping with the size of furniture you’d expect to find in a home. You can choose frame and wood from a range of materials and colours so it suits your space well.The cable ports and modest board is great for keeping cables out of sight, maintaining the clean lines and ensuring your space doesn’t look cluttered or messy. 

The Folding Desk

If you like the practicality of the eco desk but want something more aesthetically pleasing then this desk could be for you! Still small and nimble enough to fold down and stored under a bed or in a closet, but stylish enough to be kept up for longer periods of time. Coming in a range of colours and desktop materials, you can choose what works for your space. 

The Wooden Desk

If you’re not a fan of metal frames then this desk is for you! Fully made from wooden panels, coming in a range of colours and materials. With steel to steel fixings, the desk is still as durable as the metal frames and comes with the same modesty board and cable port features. 

Compact Office Storage

Steel Mobile Pedestal

This steel pedestal is easy to move and looks stylish. Lockable and discreet, this is a great space saver for the busy office as it’s compact and portable. Alternatively you can have it at home and tuck it under your desk. The long lasting finish and 5 year warranty means the pedestal will see you through a good few years! 

The Narrow Pedestal 

If you’ve got a small desk then you don’t want half of the space underneath taken up by a pedestal - so this narrow option still has all features you need but takes up less space. Lockable, portable and comes in a range of materials to match the finish of your desk.

The Wooden Cupboard

Ideal to extend your workspace a little, this cupboard is compact but handy for storage inside and above. Lockable and discreet, it’s perfect to keep confidential paperwork in or if you’re at home then you can lock your work equipment away to help with the ever elusive work life balance!
