Home office: where to place your workspace?

In the apartment you can find many cozy corners suitable for setting up a home mini-office. For example, an excellent workplace can be found at the end of a heated glazed loggia. When choosing the best option, do not forget two very important conditions: the workplace must be well lit and located in a quiet enough place so that the working person is not distracted by other family members.

The angular placement of the workplace makes it possible to obtain a much larger working surface area in a fairly small space. Placing a workplace in the corner is one of the most convenient and spacious options for a mini-office.

A rather original and beautiful way is to place your desktop opposite a window or on a wide windowsill - only if you are sure that the view from the window will not constantly distract you from your work. The main advantage of such a workplace is its excellent illumination and beauty. For people in creative professions, the view from the window can be an additional source of inspiration.

A rather unexpected, but at the same time popular place for placing a home office are various niches, closets and cabinets . The advantage of this solution is the ability to easily hide the workplace by simply closing the doors or drawing the curtain.

Desktop

To prevent your home office from taking up too much space, it makes sense to avoid using a full-size desk. It is enough to choose a compact console, computer or even dressing table with a width of about 80 cm and a depth of about 40 cm. Believe me, a working surface of this size is quite enough for comfortable work at the computer.

If you do not need to store paper documents, books and office supplies, and only have enough space to work comfortably with a laptop, you should consider the original option of organizing a desktop on a retractable/added console. In this case, the desktop will occupy a small space only during work, and when it is not needed, it can be easily removed. A more spacious option with a folding shelf allows you to organize a small storage system.

A great idea is to use a wall-mounted shelf as a small work surface. And for beauty, you can add legs and a beautiful table base. Such a light, airy solution will look very unusual and original.

Useful devices

For a compact and convenient organization of a mini-office, it is very useful to have additional storage space.

The table extension makes it much easier to place and sort useful items and important small items. Its advantage is that it takes up little space, but is very roomy and allows you to conveniently store everything you need. In addition, this practical accessory can also be used to decorate the work area: some extensions look very elegant.

A wall cabinet or shelves above the table are also very practical to use. In order to avoid creating a mess on your desk, it is very convenient to put books, documents, stationery and other useful things in a closed wall cabinet or neatly place them on open shelves.

Organizing with folders, boxes, and organizers will help you organize everything you need neatly and efficiently. If your workplace has a lot of different items and papers, then this is the only solution that will keep your home office looking neat.

Types of computer desk designs

Manufacturers offer different types of computer desks. Standard models are suitable for most apartments and offices, but if necessary, you can order furniture according to individual parameters with additional modules.

You can use standard furniture, or order it according to individual parameters.

Corner computer desk

Ergonomic model. Due to the location in the corner, useful space is not used. The tabletop is beveled and usually made with a semicircular recess for the comfort of the sitter. Often the table is complemented by a superstructure of cabinets or racks for storing accessories. Such tables are often placed in the rooms of children and teenagers.

Corner table is a comfortable and ergonomic model.

With drawers and shelves

Under the table top on the left or right side there is a row of drawers that are useful for storing components, accessories, work and student supplies. Comfortable and compact furniture.

The drawers are located under the tabletop and are convenient for storing various things.

Table with extension and cabinets

Shelving and closed compartments can be located above the tabletop. This design makes it easier to access necessary items and can be a complete replacement for free-standing shelves and wall cabinets. Excellent for the interior of children's rooms and offices. Often such tables are part of modular structures or built into wall cabinets.

Additional shelving or cabinets are built above the countertop.

For schoolchildren

The main difference between these models is their reduced dimensions. They are chosen taking into account the child's height. The most convenient and practical tables will be those with adjustable tabletop heights. The furniture will change according to the child's growth. Student computer desks are equipped with built-in or pull-out drawers and shelving.

Furniture for schoolchildren is characterized by reduced dimensions.

Advice. For a child’s room, a transforming table would be a great idea, the configuration of which will change depending on needs.

Regular computer desk for office

This is a basic model with a straight tabletop and a pull-out shelf for the keyboard. Some tables are complemented by a podium for a monitor. There are no drawers or their number is minimal. This is ergonomic furniture that is suitable not only for the office, but also for the home office.

In office models, drawers are absent or reduced to a minimum.

Gamer table

The main distinguishing feature is the unusually shaped tabletop with a recess for an armchair and a podium for a monitor. Due to the curvilinear cut, supports for the elbows are formed. Often such tables are made in a bright, futuristic design, complemented by lighting and drawers for gaming accessories. The stand for the system unit is durable and well ventilated on at least 3 sides.

Gaming tables have a special recess for a chair and a monitor stand.

Office equipment

To save space, it is more advisable to use compact and multifunctional equipment . For example, instead of a scanner and printer, it is better to buy an MFP, which will also have a photocopier as a nice bonus. The same applies to a computer: it is much more profitable to use a laptop rather than a desktop computer: one small lightweight device replaces as many as 6 separate elements (system unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, video camera). In addition, the laptop can be moved not only around the apartment, but also taken with you to the country or on trips.

When it comes to placing office equipment, there is no need to try to install an MFP on your desktop or in a small home office area. If there is no suitable place for this large device, place it in any other corner of the apartment: modern models of MFPs with a Wi-Fi module do not require a wired connection to a computer. You can use such a device from any computer in the apartment, regardless of where it is located.

If you have several computers and you want to have access to your work materials from any of them, you can organize convenient local data storage on an external hard drive connected via a USB port to a Wi-Fi router. This solution will be a replacement for cloud storage, which not everyone likes to use.

For those who actively use the phone while working, a wireless Bluetooth headset (headphone with microphone) will be very useful. Stores mainly sell car headsets, which are also great for working in a home office, you just need to charge them regularly.

If your computer does not have enough USB ports, their number can be increased using a special USB hub , which is inserted into the computer's USB port and has several USB outputs.

Using swivel brackets

It is ergonomic to place 2 monitors on a bracket if VESA mount for the monitor is provided.

Desktop bracket with gas lift system for two monitors 13-32 inches, fastening to the monitor table. Rotate 360″. Functionality: zoom in – zoom out, higher – lower. USB , mini-jack connectors for a microphone and headphones. VESA75 and VESA100 standard.

What if there are three of them? If the computer desk is not wide enough, attach two monitors to brackets

or use a three-display bracket.

for three monitors.

Manufacturers design different models of brackets - from economy class to premium class, different in design and mobility, according to the VESA standard.

Wires and chargers

Wires lying on the floor in a mess not only do not look aesthetically pleasing, but also pose a real danger, so their neat arrangement is a necessary condition for organizing any workplace. Extension cords and wires are usually placed in special baskets and holders that are attached to the lower back part of the table. There are ready-made convenient solutions on sale, but you can build such a device yourself.

It is also convenient to use the Plug Hub organizer from Quirky to store wires.

Using a spring or a regular office clip, it is very easy to collect the wires sticking out in different directions into one neat bundle.

To prevent a huge number of chargers from different devices from getting lost and filling the entire living space, it makes sense to take the time to create a charging station once. You can make it yourself or buy it in a store.

The most progressive and convenient option for saving space and solving charging problems is wireless universal chargers. They are not cheap, but they are very easy to use, and in some cases they can be an excellent solution.

Sometimes this original idea can come in handy: make a hanging basket for charging your phone from empty plastic packaging from a cosmetic product.

What else should you pay attention to when purchasing?

• color - a black tabletop in a white interior is, of course, contrasting, but not appropriate;
• reliability of fastenings and retractable mechanisms: high-quality fittings are the key to successful assembly;
• smooth joints between parts - for purely aesthetic reasons;
• the thickness of the edge on the end side - for convenience and health.
