The traditional workplace has changed dramatically. Instead of commuting to the office every day, many have found themselves in a hybrid situation or working from home entirely. If you find yourself clocking hours in your pajama pants, it’s more important than ever to make sure you have your home set up with the right desk. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist desk that provides a simple laptop surface or a complex desk with a hutch and multiple storage options, we’ve got it all right here at Macy’s.
Home Desk Size and Shape
The size and shape of your desk depend entirely on the size of your home office. A spacious office can accommodate a sprawling corner desk, an L-shaped desk or an entire desk set. If you still have extra square footage to work with, consider adding other handy home office furniture essentials like a leather armchair and a printer stand. If your living room or guest room is also your office, a small writing desk will get the job done. Another great option for apartments or small offices is a pedestal desk that has open shelving on the sides. It has a smaller profile with a place to store decorative items like succulents or your favorite books.
Home Desk Function
An important thing to consider when shopping for home office desks is the type of work you do and the amount of paperwork and filing that’s required. Paperwork needs a place to go, so if you find yourself at the printer often, choose a desk with drawers or equip your home office with bookshelves & cabinets that’ll keep your space organized and uncluttered. If you live in a digital world where everything is stored in the cloud, a simple desk with a couple of slim drawers is all you need. A standing desk is another great option if you’re looking to minimize the number of hours you’re sitting each day.
Home Desk Aesthetic
Style plays an important factor in your home office setup, too. You’ll look forward to “going to work” more if your workspace is dialed in and designed to your liking. Keep your theme cohesive for a stress-free environment. For instance, a stately wooden desk and plush armchair fit perfectly with classic decor. A streamlined glass and metal desk is perfect for creatives who love a sleek and modern aesthetic.
