When space is at a premium or you need to use a room for multiple purposes (office, conference room, hot-desk set up) then you need to consider selecting a corner desk. These allow you to use wall space, which can free up available space in the middle of the room.

Corner desks come in a variety of styles, sizes, and finishes. There is a large number of storage options available as well, from hutches to file drawers. Whatever your need, there’s definitely a corner desk to match.

Many of our corner desks are a part of a series of office furniture, so you will usually be able to find matching pieces such as bookcases, filing cabinets, or other desks and work surfaces.

Limited Space

A corner desk is usually L-shaped, easily fitting into the corner of any room. The backs of each side of the L have a finished edge, so that if the desk needs to be moved so that one of the back edges faces the room, you will still have options as to exactly how you’d like to set the desk up. Our corner desks look attractive at any angle that works in your space.

This can sometimes happen in smaller rooms with large windows, or with doors in more than one wall.

Often, storage is already built into a corner desk. In the image below, the desk has both an attractive matching hutch as well as a filing cabinet. This is another great way to make the most of limited space.

A corner desk doesn’t necessarily limit collaboration. The U-shaped desk below includes an extended corner island, making it an excellent shared workspace for meetings. It also includes a range of storage options, including attractive open shelving, two box drawers and a lateral file drawer.

Space & Layout Considerations

It’s always important to consider where doors and windows are placed when you’re shopping for an office desk. It’s even more important in a smaller room. Corner desks are a great option for such limited spaces, but it’s still important to think about placement of storage options such as filing drawers, cabinets or hutches. Most corner desks that include these options are designed to be easily configurable so that everything will fit and make sense for any available space, but make sure to measure carefully prior to making a purchase.

Also bear in mind room lighting, including natural lighting from windows. Consider whether or not the desk will fit under the windows, or if they will need to go in front of them. Also make sure that doors have space to open without hitting the desk (or anyone sitting at it!)

Match Your Space, Match Your Style

Our corner desks come in a variety of styles, which match other office furniture items available within the same series from the same manufacturer.

Here’s a very good example of the corner desk from above, with matching hutch and filing cabinet, with a separate-but-matching set of drawers to the left of the hutch.

By matching your corner desk to other furniture items, it’s possible to build out an entire office suite that’s attractive and stylish.

This corner desk comes with a mini-hutch that can be installed in one of three positions, offering even greater customization of your work space.
