Take a look through our stylish range of small desks that we've discovered. With options to suit every budget and a variety of finishes and colours available, you're in the right place to find the perfect piece for your home. You can also simplify your search with our easy-to-use filters, which let you narrow down the results and quickly find the small desks you're looking for.
A small desk gives you a proper place to work without taking over the room. Here you'll find small computer desks, compact desks, slim desks and small oak desks that fit a bedroom, a box room, a landing or an alcove, many with a shelf, a drawer or a pull-out surface.
We don't sell furniture ourselves. When you find a desk you like, click through to the retailer to check the latest price, stock, delivery charges and returns policy before you buy.
Most small desks are 80-110 cm wide and 40-60 cm deep. That is plenty for a laptop, a notebook and a lamp, but tight for two monitors, so measure your equipment before you choose.
Look for a single drawer, a shelf above or below the top, or a hutch to keep paperwork and stationery off the surface. A slim pedestal or a wall shelf can add storage without making the desk larger.
Some small desks are height adjustable, which helps if more than one person uses the space or you want to switch between sitting and standing. Compact and pull-out designs tuck away when you are not using them.
For a laptop, around 80-100 cm wide and 45-50 cm deep works well. For a desktop computer and monitor, aim for 100-120 cm wide and about 50-60 cm deep.
A compact or slim desk against a wall, ideally with a shelf or drawer so you do not need extra furniture. A glass or light-coloured desk helps the room feel larger, and a corner desk makes good use of an awkward corner.
Usually only very slim or monitor-arm setups. Two monitors normally need a desk at least 120-140 cm wide, so if you need dual screens, look at the larger sizes in our desks range.
Many do. You'll find small desks with one or two drawers, a shelf, a built-in hutch or a small cupboard, so you can keep the room tidy in a limited space.
