One of my 2019 goals was to give up my studio space and move ‘blog operations’ back into our tiny bungalow. When I first moved in and renovated the living room, I actually had an office corner. It didn’t feel like a good working situation at the time, but a lot of things have changed so I’m trying again… which means it’s time to outfit my home office! A key piece to being productive while working from home is having a great desk. With so many stylish desks for small spaces on the market, I thought it was high time to start looking for one and to share my findings with you!

My Epic List of Stylish Desks for Small Spaces
While shopping for a small space-friendly desk, I stumbled upon a really great tip. Don’t be afraid to shop the kids section of stores like Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn! Chances are the dimensions are smaller, but the height is still standard. It also helps that usually kids furniture options are more affordable, too!

For this round up of desks for small spaces, I tried to keep the selections within a size limit. I can fit a desk up to ~40″ wide, so I kept the picks to that and narrower. While there’s nothing more satisfying than a well-organized, nicely styled large desk, I am loving so many of these small desks.
