Working from home has become the norm. But how often do you still find yourself sitting at the kitchen table, surrounded by breakfast messes, school papers, and a crumbly placemat? Exactly. Time to give your home workspace a little more love—for yourself, your work, and your rest.
Because honestly, a great workspace does wonders for your productivity and your mood. And believe it or not, it all starts with one piece of furniture: a good corner desk.
Why a corner desk is such a great choice
A corner desk might sound a bit dull or businesslike, but it's secretly one of the smartest choices you can make. It fits perfectly in that unused corner of an attic, a landing, or even a bedroom. And because the desk is L-shaped, you have more space to store things without taking up too much floor space.
You can use one side for your laptop and notepad, and the other for a printer, your favorite plant, or an inspiring vision board, for example. This instantly makes it feel much more inviting than that standard office workspace.
Working without distractions, with an overview
When you work from home, you want to be able to focus. But that's difficult when you're constantly shuffling things around or can't put your coffee down without knocking something over. A well-organized corner desk automatically creates structure.
Looking for some inspiration? Then take a look at the corner office desk from Kickoffice: stylish, sleek, and compact enough for your home. Or check out the corner office desk from Inofec, where you'll find models in all sizes and colors.
Make it cozy, also for yourself
Your workspace doesn't have to become a second office. Feel free to add some warmth: a nice desk lamp, a pinboard with cute cards, a scented candle... and yes, a soft blanket for those cold fingers typing away in the winter. Small details make all the difference.
A few tips to finish your corner:
- Choose a color that makes you happy (light green, soft blue or warm beige work well)
- Provide daylight or a nice desk lamp
- Keep your workspace tidy with a drawer unit or basket
- Add a plant, it really has a calming effect!
Finally: a workplace where you actually want to sit
Your workspace doesn't have to be large. It doesn't even have to be separate. But it should be your space. Where you can focus, make quiet calls, or simply get a good overview of your day. With a corner desk, you literally and figuratively give yourself space.
And hey, treat yourself to that wonderful space. You work hard, both at home and at work. So your workspace deserves a little love too, right?
