Every Corner Counts: Space Saving Small Corner Computer Desks
The microwave sits atop the stove, the toaster oven doubles as a dish drainer, and that mini fridge moonlights as a coat rack: when living in a dorm or small studio apartment, every inch counts. This becomes drastically apparent when attempting to move in a massive unit to house your computer, printer, and various digital items. To forestall this stressful event, and to prevent one piece of furniture from occupying more space than your bed, it may be wise to consider a small corner computer desk instead.
The primary benefit of small corner computer desks is the space that they save, taking only as much room as that growing pile of laundry in the corner. Settling into a corner, the triangular design of most of these desks allows for maximum useable workspace and minimal unused area occupied by cords. Further, these compact models are usually cost effective and include overhead or under desk shelving to house books, computer games, or even that bulk purchase of discount toilet paper your roommate insisted on buying.
While many units offer space-saving bonuses, each provides individual perks. For example, the Techni Mobili Compact Corner Computer Workcenter is extremely budget-friendly, retailing for just under fifty dollars. It is, like many of Techni’s models, very minimalist, and therefore it occupies very little space. For something more substantial, you might think about the Staples Corner Computer Desk which has more of a professional office feel while still settling into a convenient corner.
Similar in feel, the RiverRidge Computer Desk with Storage has larger side panels and shelving under the desk top as well as a slide-out keyboard drawer to further optimize space; it sells for about eight dollars. All of these models are focused on being small, fitting tidily into a corner, and offering storage space. If you’re looking for something that makes more of a statement, then you might look at the Black Wood Corner Computer Desk which is more square-looking, has no upper shelving, and gives off the vibe of a serious piece of furniture (for about a hundred dollars).
And if you’re a technically savvy shopper, the TechniMobili Retractable Compact Computer Desk looks like something from a robotics lab, being round on top and minimalist in feel; it also has retractable panels that can provide sufficient workspace for projects then be tucked away when they are finished. Another futuristic model with a bit more of a price tag (over two hundred) is Stacks and Stacks’ Clear Corner Computer Desk which is made primarily of clear glass and silver metal.
Again, all these smaller desk modes fit into small room corners. So don’t despair if your habitat is little more than a hole. You won’t have to keep your expensive new desktop on top of your roommate’s chia pet shelf. Instead, shop around for a small corner computer desk where you can store whatever you need. Add a compact chair, or even an ottoman, for a multi-functional workspace which will revolutionize and organize the room around you.
