However, if you want to designate a work area in your bedroom with proper desk, chair, and other office materials, then you can choose from our diverse layout ideas for your bedroom.

Our Top 8 Bedroom Desk Design Ideas

Choosing to use your bedroom as an office space is a big decision especially when you’re living with your partner. So you need to consider several factors and select the right space for your workplace. Here are our top 8 ideas you can consider when deciding where to place your desk:

Choose a Suitable Spot for Desk

If you’ve a large bedroom then you can position your desk away from your bed. The point is to keep your bed out of sight during work hours as much as possible, so you don’t get those sleepy thoughts while you’re working, like going comfy in your bed with blanket on your head and feeling the comfort it would bring. You need to differentiate your work time from relaxation time and keeping your work desk away from your bed helps a lot.

Make Use of an Empty Corner

If you have an empty corner space in your bedroom then take maximum benefit by integrating a floating desk there. A floating desk is attached to the walls so it doesn’t need legs for support, which means, more room for storage.  You can put office materials in rattan baskets on the shelves to keep the workspace clean and organised at all times.

Install Desk into a Fitted Alcove

If you have an alcove in your bedroom then there is nothing better than that. Alcoves are perfect to fit in a desk and even better when there is space to pull in a chair. By fitting a desk to a tiny nook, you can keep your workspace out of sight from the main area of your room, and keep office clutter away.

Another workspace idea is to install a drop desk to the alcoves where the desk flips down when required. It is suggested to have electric outlets near to the alcoves so you don’t have wiring going across the room. 

Separate Your Desk Space with a Curtain

Whether you’ve a small bedroom or big, one of the best ways to keep your work desk out of sight is by placing a curtain. Adding a curtain proves practical, economical, and a flexible way to divide your bedroom into two different spaces. You can certainly use colourful curtains to give an overall interesting outlook to your bedroom while creating two different spaces.

Add a Desk b/w Fitted Wardrobes

Fitting a desk between wardrobes is a unique workspace idea that also gives an overall premium outlook to your bedroom, when done neatly. You can go for two different wardrobe desk ideas based on your personal preference and requirements. First, you can have your desk nestled between two sets of custom-made wardrobes, giving a uniform and stylish outlook while keeping it elegant and practical.

Another way is to position your desk at the end of the two wardrobes, making it attractive and easily reachable as soon as you enter the room. These desks are as durable and strong as the wardrobe itself but you can ask your designer to make it by any available material and design you want.

Get Natural Light for Your Desk 

Lighting is important for work and what is better than natural light. All that Vitamin D you can soak up while working. This is a kind of a blessing that you cannot expect to enjoy in a professional office environment. But if you place your desk by your bedroom window then you can enjoy all that free natural light during your work.

However, you need to make some adjustments with lighting to prevent glare on bright days. This can be done by opting for window treatments such as installing Venetian blind, shutters with flexible slats, or curtains.
