Which desk should you choose for working from home?

More and more of us are moving our working lives into our own four walls, and there’s always one central piece of furniture in a home office: the desk. Although it may seem simple at first glance, choosing the right piece of furniture has a huge impact not only on comfort and aesthetics, but above all on health and productivity. An unsuitable desk can lead to back and neck pain, whilst a lack of adequate space will make it difficult to concentrate.

Our shop offers a wide selection of gaming and office desks, so we want to help you make the best choice. In this guide, you’ll find out what to look out for to ensure your home office desk is perfectly suited to your needs, lifestyle and available space.

A desk tailored to your needs – key selection criteria

Before you decide on a specific model desks, think about what you really need. The answers to the questions below will help you narrow down your search to the ideal candidate.

1. Ergonomics and health – your body will thank you for it

A desk is not just a piece of wood on legs. It is a work tool that directly affects your posture. The correct desk height is crucial – it should allow you to position your arms comfortably at a 90-degree angle to the desk top, so that your wrists and forearms are parallel to the floor. A desk that is too high or too low forces you into an incorrect posture, which, after many hours of work, can lead to back and neck pain, and even carpal tunnel syndrome. Make sure the desk is height-adjustable, which is particularly important for people of non-standard height.

2. Available space – even a small desk has potential

Measure the exact spot where you plan to place your desk carefully. Remember to leave space for a chair and to move around freely. In small flats, a small desk or a folding desk – which you can put away when you’ve finished work – may be the ideal solution. If you have an empty corner, consider a corner desk, which will allow you to make the most of hard-to-reach space. Don’t underestimate the size of the desk top – it must be big enough not only for a monitor and a laptop, but also for notes or a cup of coffee.

3. Purpose – a desk for work versus a desk for gaming

Decide what you’ll mainly be using the desk for. Is it to be used exclusively for office work, or perhaps for intensive gaming? A gaming desk is designed with durability, stability and additional features in mind, such as cable grommets, headphone hooks or even a special finish on the desktop. An office desk, on the other hand, often emphasises minimalist design and functionality. Of course, many models are versatile enough to suit both purposes.

4. Style and aesthetics – harmony with the interior

Your home office should be a place where you feel comfortable. Remember that a home office desk is part of the décor, so choose a colour and style that matches the rest of your furniture. You’ll find desks in Scandinavian, minimalist, industrial and even rustic styles on the market. Details such as the colour of the legs, the material of the worktop or the type of finish are hugely important for the overall look.
