Home Office & Computer Desks

Find the Right Computer Desk for the Way You Work

Your desk puts up with a lot — laptop, monitor, paperwork, the odd coffee cup. Whether you're working full days from home, studying, or just need somewhere to deal with the admin, the trick is matching the desk to your space and your kit. Here's how.

Short on space?

Small computer desks are built for tight spots — the corner of a bedroom, a landing, under the stairs. Corner desks are the clever choice when floor space is tight, turning an unused corner into a proper workstation without eating up the room.

Got a desktop PC?

If you've got a full tower sitting under the table, a standard desk leaves you fighting your own legs for space. A PC desk with a dedicated tower shelf and cable routing keeps the case off the floor and the cables out of sight, so you can actually stretch your legs while you work.

Need to keep things tidy?

A desk with drawers keeps pens, paperwork and chargers within reach but off the desktop. Need more than a couple of drawers can hold? Pair a simpler desk with a separate unit from our office storage range instead.

Sitting all day?

If you're at the desk for hours, it's worth looking at a height-adjustable standing desk — switching between sitting and standing is kinder on your back. And whatever desk you choose, the right office chair matters just as much for your posture.

FAQ

What's the best height for a computer desk?

A standard desk sits around 72–75cm (28–30 inches) high, which suits most people with a properly adjusted chair. If several people share it, or you want to alternate sitting and standing, a height-adjustable desk is the better bet.

What desk depth do I need?

For a monitor or laptop, aim for a depth of 60–80cm so the screen sits at a comfortable distance and you've room to work in front of it.

Which desk is best for a small space?

Compact and corner desks make the most of tight rooms, while wall-mounted and folding designs free up floor space when the desk isn't in use.
