Tiny Desk Area + Décor
23 May
Trying to fit a desk area in a tiny bedroom is truly a struggle most people face including me, and luckily I found my way around it; a desk and shelf half & half.
I have a small square bedroom with a built-in closet and a bad idea to put a huge bed along with it. As this two occupied most of the floor space of the room, the only other furniture I was able to add was a side table that acts as my night stand and storage shelf. Whichever way I try, the table wasn’t enough to hold my stuff and act as my desk area as well. It worked well as a nightstand but was way too low for a desk, so when I saw this compact desk hack on a tiny NYC apartment feature, I immediately went for it.
Basically, the idea was to make use of the blank wall at the
foot of my bed by putting a single shelf unit to act as, not only a shelf, but
my desk as well. It turned out exactly like how I imagined it to be. Since we’re
improvising and dealing with limited area, if you’re planning on recreating
this as well, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
∙ measure an optimum height for the shelf to avoid
back pain
∙ get a fairly wide shelf that could fit your laptop and
some extra workspace
∙ go for a slightly thicker shelf as well for sturdiness against the weight when you’re using it as a desk
∙ provide leg space beneath no matter what! sitting cross-legged for a long time is uncomfortable
Aaaaaaaaand that’s about everything about my compact
desk/shelf area! Hope you find this helpful
