Make Good Use of Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When picking the perfect spot to install your built-in home office desk, look for unused or under-utilized spaces in your home. Alcoves, recesses, nooks, or tight corners are ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can position your built-in desk inside a bay window or under a staircase like in this design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163448\/Built-in-Desk-Make-Good-Use-of-Space.jpg\" alt=\"Built-in Desk Make Good Use of Space\" class=\"wp-image-5843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163448\/Built-in-Desk-Make-Good-Use-of-Space.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163448\/Built-in-Desk-Make-Good-Use-of-Space-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163448\/Built-in-Desk-Make-Good-Use-of-Space-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<ul class=\"t2-link-list has-1-items has-auto-columns wp-block-t2-link-list\">\n\t<li class=\"t2-link-list-item wp-block-t2-link-list-item\">\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.roomsketcher.com\/floor-plan-gallery\/office\/\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"t2-link-list-item__link t2-link-list__icon--left\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-link-list-item__icon\"><span class=\"t2-link-list-item__icon-box\"><\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-arrowforward\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M11.3 19.3c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7l4.9-4.9H5c-.3 0-.5-.1-.7-.3-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3h11.2l-4.9-4.9c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l6.6 6.6c.1.1.2.2.2.3 0 .1.1.3.1.4 0 .1 0 .3-.1.4 0 .1-.1.2-.2.3l-6.6 6.6c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-link-list-item__content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"link-list-item-text\" class=\"t2-link-list-item__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWant to design from an existing template?\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"link-list-item-description\" class=\"t2-link-list-item__description\">See our office design examples.<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/li>\n\t\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Keep It Simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a built-in office desk in your home can be an inexpensive DIY project\u2014especially if you already have a natural recess in your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply mount three horizontal wooden lengths on each side of the recessed area, then place a flat table surface on top. You don\u2019t even need table legs as the desk is effectively a large shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163539\/Simple-Built-In-Desk.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Built In Desk\" class=\"wp-image-5845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163539\/Simple-Built-In-Desk.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163539\/Simple-Built-In-Desk-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163539\/Simple-Built-In-Desk-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Add Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to need somewhere to keep all your work-related documents, stationery, and equipment. You can install overhead bookshelves and cupboards. If you have enough legroom, drawers can also be fitted under the desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The built-in desk in the image above makes good use of the vertical space and includes three long wall-mounted shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163639\/Add-Storage-To-Your-Home-Office.jpg\" alt=\"Add Storage To Your Home Office\" class=\"wp-image-5846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163639\/Add-Storage-To-Your-Home-Office.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163639\/Add-Storage-To-Your-Home-Office-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163639\/Add-Storage-To-Your-Home-Office-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Maximize Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home means lots of time in your home office. It\u2019s therefore extremely important you feel comfortable. There may even be a legal requirement by your employer to submit a health and safety assessment of your workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest in an ergonomic chair, ensure the desk height is around 30 inches (76 cm), and buy a footrest if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also choose a space or room where it\u2019s easy to concentrate \u2013 preferably separate from other living areas and away from distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163820\/Standing-Built-In-Desk-Home-Office-Maximize-Comfort.jpg\" alt=\"Standing Built In Desk Home Office Maximize Comfort\" class=\"wp-image-5848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163820\/Standing-Built-In-Desk-Home-Office-Maximize-Comfort.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163820\/Standing-Built-In-Desk-Home-Office-Maximize-Comfort-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06163820\/Standing-Built-In-Desk-Home-Office-Maximize-Comfort-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing desks have become increasingly popular in recent years.

Choose an Area With Natural Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Positioning your built-in home office desk near a window is a smart move.

Ensure Privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When working from home it\u2019s important to segregate work and living areas. The last thing you want is a barking dog or a loud family member interrupting an important business call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider installing soundproof panels on your walls and pick a spot that has a nearby door so you can shut out distractions if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06164206\/Ensure-Privacy-In-Your-Home-Office.jpg\" alt=\"Ensure Privacy In Your Home Office\" class=\"wp-image-5859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06164206\/Ensure-Privacy-In-Your-Home-Office.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06164206\/Ensure-Privacy-In-Your-Home-Office-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/06164206\/Ensure-Privacy-In-Your-Home-Office-150x77.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Plan Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To quickly assess and compare different options, we recommend you&nbsp;<a href=\"\/office-design\/office-design-software\/\">create a detailed floor plan first<\/a>&nbsp;to find the best placement for your built-in desk. Once you\u2019ve planned out your desk area, it\u2019s easy to tweak the design or change furniture around to see what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you found these tips useful and we wish you
