Corner Desks

Corner Desks & L-Shaped Desks

A standard desk gets cramped fast once a monitor and keyboard are in front of you. A corner desk wraps into the corner to give you a whole extra run of surface — ideal for dual screens, spreading out paperwork, or just having room to think. Here's how to pick the right one.

Left Hand or Right Hand?

This is the first thing to get right. A right hand desk has the longer return on your right as you sit at it; a left hand desk, on your left. Choose based on which way your corner faces and where the door, window and power points are, so the long side runs where you've got the space.

With or Without Drawers

Corner desks with built-in drawer pedestals keep files and stationery to hand without a separate unit — handy for paperwork-heavy roles. Prefer a clean, open look or already have storage? Plenty of our corner desks come without drawers, and you can always add a pedestal from our office storage range later.

Sizes & Finishes

Our corner desks run from compact 1,400mm models that tuck into a tight nook up to large 1,800mm units for a generous workstation, all at a standard 725mm height. Finishes cover classic oak and beech, crisp white and warm walnut, so the desk fits the room as well as the worker.

For the Office or Home

Corner desks work as well in a commercial office as a spare-room setup. Furnishing a workplace? See our full range of office desks. Setting up at home? Browse home office & computer desks.

And whichever you choose, pair it with a supportive office chair that lets you move easily across the L-shape.

FAQ

What's the difference between a left hand and right hand corner desk?

It's about which side the longer return sits as you face the desk. A right hand desk extends to your right, a left hand desk to your left. Pick the one that fits your corner and keeps the long run where you have space.

What size corner desk do I need?

Measure both walls of the corner. Compact 1,400mm desks suit tighter spaces; 1,600–1,800mm models give more room for dual monitors and paperwork. Standard depth is 1,200mm on the return and height is 725mm.

Do your corner desks come with drawers?

Some do — corner desks with 2 or 3 drawer pedestals are available — while others come without for a cleaner look. You can also add a separate pedestal if your storage needs change.

Is a corner desk better than a straight desk?

A corner desk gives more usable surface in the same footprint, making it ideal for corners and multi-monitor setups. For wall runs or bench layouts, a straight office desk may suit better.
