Work & Study
Study desks and bookshelves for home offices, children's study corners and the space beside a bed. A compact desk with shelves above keeps books at eye level and frees the floor; a desk with storage keeps stationery out of sight at the end of the day. Pair a desk with a bookcase in the same finish for a study corner that looks planned. Each listing gives the shelves, drawers and finish, so you can fit a work space into the room you already have.
Setting up a study corner
Desk size, storage and light.
What size desk do I need?
For a laptop, 90–100cm of width is enough; with a monitor and papers, look at 110cm or more. A depth of 50–60cm suits most rooms.
Desk with storage or a separate bookcase?
A desk with shelves suits a small room. In a larger space, a separate bookcase holds more and can move.
Where should it go?
Beside a window, with light from the side rather than behind the screen.
