Corner computer desks are a terrific space-saving solution for small office spaces!

Many of us have a home office space these days. Having a PC makes this almost a necessity! If you have a laptop, you still need some desk space reserved just for this purpose when you're working at home. When you add in the printer, scanner, copier and whatever other equipment you've got, that desk can get pretty crowded! If you're lucky enough to have a den all to yourself, that extra room may also house part of your library, or do double duty as a sewing room. If your desk is in the living room, space is at a premium. In any case, a corner computer desk will optimize your available space.

At our old house, we had a lot of space, with a small extra bedroom we allocated to the home office purpose. This was indeed a luxury, but we nonetheless had to conserve on space. The room had a large sliding glass door against one wall, with entry to the kitchen opposite. This made the actual usable space awkward to arrange. My husband and I each needed a desk and room for chairs. I had my beloved, cherry wood, Mission-style desk that I was not willing to part with, so we decided to go with a corner computer desk to solve the space and arrangement problem. This turned out to be a fantastic solution.

I went shopping, dimensions in hand and found a corner computer desk that looked to be the size of the state of Montana, in terms of usable square inches, yet fit perfectly in the corner of the sliding glass window wall and made the most of the adjoining wall, without a window. The corner portion of the desk was used for the (then) monstrous computer monitor, with ample room for the keyboard in front. The printer was situated just to the side of the monitor. The space remaining on each side of the corner computer desk amounted to a good three feet! This allowed more than enough space for him to pile up reference books, papers, printouts, CDs and the ever-present coffee. What a setup!

Since we shared the printer, my conventional desk space was more than adequate. I installed book shelves above my desk to hold all my books and paper, so this arrangement made both of us happy office campers.

Even if you don't require so much 'storage' space in your home office, the corner computer desk gives you room to spread out, without feeling cramped. No matter where you've got your home office, using the corner of the room saves valuable space and reduces the clutter effect. Visually, making use of the corner of any room increases the feeling of spaciousness, imparting a clean look that makes your home more inviting.
