Bedroom layout ideas with a desk are a practical way to create workspace in properties that do not have room for a home office and have become increasingly popular in recent years as more of us than ever are working from home.
‘Our homes are having to work harder than ever to adapt into multifunctional spaces, that create a balance between work and play,' explains Rachal Hutcheson, national retail manager at Sharps. 'If your bedroom is now also your working area, a clutter free tidy desk space, in a previously unused corner, will aid a healthy work life balance.'
Being a space of relaxation, incorporating a desk into a bedroom does come with challenges, but with some clever thinking there are plenty of ways to create a multi-functional space. Whether you're thinking of incorporating a desk in a large master bedroom or in a teenager's bedroom, we've gathered a selection of bedroom layout ideas for incorporating desks to help get you inspired, along with some handy advice from the experts.
Bedroom layout ideas with a desk – experts tips for arranging your sleep space
When designing small bedroom layout ideas with a desk it is important to first take into account the size and shape of the space. Before you rush out and buy a desk create a floor plan including dimensions of the room and any doorways, windows as this will make it clearer where furniture is best positioned and what types of desks might fit best.
There are many freestanding desks available which can easily be moved around if needed, but it is also worth considering bespoke built-in options for space efficiency.
1. Zone the space

If you are thinking of using your bedroom as an office space during the day then it is important to position the desk away from your bed to ensure you can switch off at the end of the day. If you have a large, main bedroom, position the desk so that you are facing away from the bed whilst working and as far from it as possible, say experts, as this will help distinguish work time from relaxation time.
'Most people want their bedroom to be a place to relax and unwind so if you are also using it as a workspace, try to position the desk further away from the bed to create a separate space in the room,' says Sarit Marcus, professional interior designer and founder of Minted Space . 'I recommend putting the desk on a separate wall from the bedroom.'
2. Add a desk between fitted wardrobes

If space is at a premium, or if you are after small bedroom layout ideas, then opting for a desk fitted as part of a bespoke bedroom storage idea is guaranteed to make the most of the space available. For a neat, streamlined solution that works with the architecture of your room consider fitting the space around the window with floor-to-ceiling closets and using the space beneath the window for a light-filled desk or dressing table area as demonstrated here.
3. Place the desk by a window

It goes without saying that good light is essential in a workspace, so when designing a bedroom layout, 'if a desk is to be incorporated, you might make sure it is placed near to natural light, ideally in front of a window,' says Louise Wicksteed design director at Sims Hilditch .
If you are lucky enough to have a large bay window, then this would make the ideal position for a desk. If you are considering positioning a desk by a window then be sure to consider window treatment ideas such as sheer curtains or venetian blind and shutters with adjustable slats to prevent glare on bright days, especially if the room is south-facing.
4. Fit a floating desk into a corner

Incorporating a fitted desk can be a good use of an empty bedroom corner. To maximize space – and make it as discreet as possible – choose a floating desk fitted flush with the walls and fitted closets as demonstrated here. With no need for legs, this floating desk design gives space beneath to slide in a stool when not in use and creates the illusion of more space within the room.
If you are looking for small bedroom ideas it's also worth thinking about the material of the desk as this can make a difference says Anna Franklin, interior designer and founder of Stone House Collective explains.
'If you have the space for two dressers to be about four feet apart you could get glass to cover them and use the glass as a desk. Another option for a more traditional desk is an acrylic desk with a gold base – the clear look will create the illusion of space.'
5. Squeeze a desk into a snug alcove
(Image credit: Future)
Alcoves make brilliant spaces to fit a desk. Provided there is a space to pull in a chair even the tiniest of alcoves can be used to create a workspace as this space proves. By having a desk tucked neatly into a corner of the room and set facing away from the rest of the space, this small bedroom layout idea helps keep the main area of the room clutter-free and allows the desk to be out of sight when you're looking to unwind.
If space is at a premium another 'option for small spaces is to get a drop desk installed where the desk can flip down when needed,' advices says interior designer Esther Dormer . She also advises that, 'when positioning a desk, it should be wherever the outlets are.
This will avoid having cords going across the room.'
6. Incorporate a slim-line desk into fitted storage
(Image credit: Gunter & Co)
If you have a room without an obvious alcove to fit a desk then fitting a narrow shelf into a run of cupboards could make a practical alternative. In this bespoke design by Gunter & Co the shelf has been designed to be wider than the cabinets to provide enough space for a laptop and has been curved at one end to accommodate the window. ‘This won’t work in every house, but it was perfect for our clients,’ says Irene Gunter. ‘We have a generous depth for the desk without it jutting in front of the window.’
7. Hide a desk in a closet
(Image credit: Sharps)
To ensure that your workspace doesn't encroach on your relaxation time it may be worth thinking about how a desk can be cleverly concealed within your bedroom design. There are many companies that offer hidden desks fitted into made-to-measure closets including designs that can slide in and out.
'Opting for a built-in desk solution, with the same design as your wardrobes, will create a cohesive look whilst having the desk in close proximity to the cupboards allows for easy to reach office storage and helps to maximise productivity,’ says Rachal Hutcheson, national retail manager of Sharps .
For other ways to hide a desk in a bedroom Anna Franklin, interior designer and founder of Stone House Collective suggests to 'use a foldable wall-mounted desk, or a foldable shelf that can turn into a desk. Both of these options will allow you to save space, and can possibly provide extra storage.'
8. Add character with a vintage desk

If you are looking for cottage bedroom ideas then consider hunting flea markets for an antique desk. Boasting time warn patinas and chippy paint, vintage wooden desks are a fabulous way to enhance and complement the character of country homes and rustic bedrooms.
9. Choose a freestanding desk in a teenager's room
(Image credit: Future)
When you have a busy family home finding space where young people can study away from the hustle and bustle can be tricky – fitting a desk into their bedroom will provide a space where they can focus away from distractions.
When thinking about bedroom ideas for teenagers, it may be worth thinking about a freestanding desk over a fitted design which will offer more flexibility over layout. Choosing a lightweight design that is easy to move will means that the space can easily be reconfigured should the function of the room change in future.
10. Choose a desk with drawers
(Image credit: Davide Lovatti)
As with any home office, storage is important. Choosing a desk with a series of drawers will allow stationary items to be cleared away at the end of the day leaving surfaces clear and clutter-free for relaxation time. With a mirror positioned above it this desk can also make useful dressing table idea.
11. Let a dressing table double as a desk
(Image credit: Future / Kasia Fiszer)
If you're just looking for a space to perch and write a quick shopping list or jot a note to a friend then a dressing table may be all you need. To choose the right dressing table design think first about where it will be positioned as this may impact the style you choose.
Choosing a freestanding design with a mirror attached is a great choice if you plan to position your dressing table in a window or away from a wall were you cannot lean or hang a mirror.
12. Disguise a desk in a windowsill

This concealed desk by TG Studio is a brilliant use of space. The desktop slides out to make for comfortable working, hiding beneath it all the clutter that would normally be out on display. Meanwhile, the extension of the desk across the length of the window allows for more storage and plenty of display.
How should I arrange my bedroom with a desk?
How best to arrange a bedroom with a desk will ultimately depend on the size and shape of the room, however there are many ways to incorporate a desk into a bedroom layout.
Incorporating a fitted desk between your closets, or as part of a fitted storage system, is a great way to make the most of space, especially in small bedrooms. The desk can either be left open or can be fitted internally and hidden behind doors.
'Sliding door systems are a great way to conceal desks in the bedroom or any room of the home. Desks can be concealed in wardrobes or alcove spaces and simply hidden with fitted cabinetry when you're finished with the working day,' says Simon Tcherniak, senior designer at Neville Jonson .
Fitting a floating desk into an alcove is another great way to incorporate a desk into a bedroom layout plus is a brilliant space-saving solution for small bedrooms.
While fitted desks offer a seamless, clutter-free look freestanding desks also have benefits as they offer flexibility over your bedroom layout ideas allowing the arrangement to be easily reconfigured if needed, plus a freestanding desk can easily be positioned in a window to make the most of natural light.
How do I separate my bedroom and office?
There are several ways to separate an office area from a sleeping area in a bedroom. As bedrooms are places dedicated to rest and rejuvenation, if you are planning to incorporate a desk into your layout, then it's important that it is kept separate from your sleeping area.
‘Position them away from the bed at the opposite side of the room so you can keep the two functions of your bedroom separate,' says Simon Tcherniak, senior designer at Neville Jonhson . 'Ideally choose a pull-out desk or conceal with sliding doors so you can switch off and hide away your work-station at the end of the day.'
'There are many clever storage bedroom systems available that seamlessly hide the desk,' agrees Sarit Marcus, professional interior designer and founder of Minted Space. 'However, if you don’t have one of these systems, an easy and affordable way to hide a desk is with a room divider. A room divider is also a great way to spruce up the décor of a room.'

Not all of us have the luxury of a dedicated home office, and that’s where these genius small bedroom desk ideas come in. Set to revolutionize the way you work when space is at a premium, these ideas also won’t take over your bedroom or prevent it from feeling like a sanctuary. As Andrew Griffiths of A New Day studio notes, ‘You want to avoid looking like you’re sleeping in an office, so desk solutions need to be subtle and discreet.'
Whether you just want to make the best use of a tricky alcove, or design a built-in solution - we’ve enlisted the help of leading interior designers to reveal their expert tips and practical small bedroom ideas to get yourself out of, or into, a tight spot!
1.
Make it feel seamless(Image credit: Anna Stathaki)
When designing rooms with dual functions, it’s crucial that one doesn’t overpower the other. And in the case of a desk space within a bedroom, retaining a sense of serenity and calm should be high on the agenda. You don’t want the room to feel bitty, and ensuring the two zones exist together in harmony is key. This calming set up by Andrew Griffiths, Founder of A New Day , offers the best of both worlds, while still feeling coherent.
‘Designed to double up as a desk or dressing table, this bespoke wall-hung piece occupies a small and otherwise unused corner of a loft bedroom and transforms it into a usable space,’ says Andrew. To make it feel truly seamless, Andrew used the same materials and even backed the space with smart wood paneling to really make it feel like a deliberate part of the design.
‘A wall-hung design doesn’t distract the eye from the rest of the room, and also ensures floor space is kept clear to help make the room feel more spacious,’ he says.
‘Painting the unit in the same color as the walls was the final design decision that helped achieve a really seamless look.’
2. Take advantage of awkward spaces

If you want to master a small bedroom layout, making the most of any tricky architecture is a must - and awkward spaces can be a great opportunity to introduce a desk. Designed by Marie Soliman, Founder and Creative Director of Bergman Interiors , this desk occupies a previously disregarded space.
‘A narrow walkway that opened up into the bedroom, it had a window with gorgeous views beyond but the space didn’t really have a purpose,’ explains Marie. ‘We decided it would be best utilized as an unconventional study, and built the desk into the alcove and chose for the unit to slightly wrap around the walls so that it felt really sleek and purposeful.’
Keeping surfaces clear will always help make a small bedroom feel more spacious, but Marie also suggests optimizing a desk space by building some tech management solutions into the design.
‘A pop up computer screen is an excellent idea, and concealed cable tidies are a must,’ she says. ‘Planning these into the design of your desk early means that when you’re not working at it, you can quickly hide away all your tech and transform it into a dressing table or console’.
3. Consider shapes and materials
(Image credit: Thomas Richter)
If space is tight, every element of the design will need to work harder and bring something helpful to the room - so it makes sense to evaluate the size, shape, and material of everything you bring in. Keren Richter, Co-Founder of Brooklyn-based design studio White Arrow , talks through her favorite choices for a small bedroom desk space.
‘You can make the most of a small space by providing dual functionality, celebrating light and views, as well as keeping the room feeling open,’ she says. ‘The desk in this space is curved which allows your eye to travel, uninterrupted by severe edges, and opting for a translucent desk chair by Kim Markel also means the view isn’t obstructed which helps the room feel more spacious’.
Keren explains that by paying close attention to the way you introduce a desk, you can help the room to feel more cohesive, despite its dual purpose; ‘Bringing in curves and materials like glass and light-toned woods will help the office space feel part of the conversation, rather than an afterthought to the rest of the room,’ she says. ‘We also like to store items in containers and boxes that are made from a uniform material to keep it all looking smart’.
4. Keep it simple
(Image credit: Chris Snook)
Sometimes for a small space, it’s worth keeping things simple - this will prevent the room from feeling too busy and cluttered, which can actually reduce its feeling of spaciousness. This room by Imperfect Interiors is a shining example of simplicity done right, and founder Beth Dadswell talks through its creation.
‘We chose a muted, dusky pink on the walls to soften the space, and make it feel serene and open. Vintage furniture with refined silhouettes help the room to feel calm, yet cozy - and patterned rug underfoot adds interest without taking up any valuable room’.
Beth also reveals what she looks for when choosing a desk for a small bedroom. ‘Look for something that isn’t too deep or imposing if you have limited space,’ she says. ‘A design that has drawers to hide your stationary and laptop is always a good idea. This means you can pack them away so they’re not visible when you’re trying to get to sleep - and ideally choose seating that can be pushed right underneath to free up the floor space.’
5. Double up
(Image credit: Interior Fox)
A recognizable footprint for many period properties, how to approach thin alcoves with a bricked up fireplace in between is a common design dilemma - especially for a bedroom. Some people use the alcoves for wardrobe space, but Jenna and Marina, founders of Interior Fox , spotted an opportunity to get creative with their home office ideas.
‘Often, these kinds of spaces can feel awkward - especially in a bedroom - which is why we thought the perfect solution would be mini-desks that also act as bedside tables,’ they explain.
‘Each side has their own drawer as well as a nice workspace for a laptop or taking some notes.’
Of course, keeping clutter at bay is a top priority; ‘Use small baskets to put papers or letters in and install floating shelves above if you can,’ they advise. ‘And in terms of lighting, best to opt for a clip on, or wall mounted design to keep the workspace clear.’
6. Hide it away

If you really want to switch off from the office at 5pm, closet office ideas are the solution. ‘This design involves complex joinery to incorporate a discrete home office hidden in a secret cupboard, so it can be totally out of view when not in use,’ explains Katie Lion, an Interior Designer at Kitesgrove .
Enhancing the luxury feel of this project even further, as well as increasing its practicality, Kitesgrove designed the bespoke chair to tuck neatly away so you can close the doors on the entire setup. ‘It’s versatile and comfortable, as well as being equally suitable for a day's work, or as an extra seat for entertaining,’ says Katie.
7. Go for an antique bureau
(Image credit: K&H Design)
As with so many things, you can often look to the past for pieces of design history that just really work. Bureau’s and secretary desks are a case in point. Not only do they look beautiful, they’re incredibly practical too.
For this project, Katie Glaister and Henry Miller-Robinson, the co-founders of K&H Design , knew that antique was the way to go. ‘We had already chosen Edward Bulmer’s Sky Blue paint as the base for this bedroom which is in a Georgian Grade II listed Rectory,’ they explain. ‘On an antique sourcing tip, we stumbled across this piece and knew it was perfect instantly.’
‘Not only does it work exceptionally well with the palette - making the room feel more spacious by blending in with the blue hues - but bureaus are often compact and have much more storage than desks, making them a perfect choice for small bedrooms’.
Where's the best place to put a desk in a bedroom?
No matter the size of your room, placing a desk next to natural light was a resounding piece of advice from all of our experts.
‘A desk next to a window will always be a more pleasant place to work,’ says Andrew Griffiths, of A New Day studio. Marie Soliman, founder of Bergman Interiors agrees, ‘because it will allow you to take maximum advantage of natural light for as long as possible’.
If this isn’t doable in your room, Andrew suggests somewhere discreet; ‘It’s important to be able to switch off and relax in the space outside of working hours, so don’t position a desk somewhere that dominates.’
Another idea that was popular with each of the interior designers was taking advantage of alcoves. ‘Alcoves are often the best place for a small desk, as they will feel tucked away rather than becoming the main focal point of the room,’ says Beth Dadswell of Imperfect Interiors.
Keren Ritcher, Co-founder of White Arrow shares K&H Design’s love of bureaus and secretary desks, as they can be folded away at the end of the day and offer tons of storage space too.
The team at K&H Design also love a curved desk, ‘We are asked to design a lot of bespoke desks for our clients, and curves are an amazing space saver while always looking very elegant’.
Another tip is to go for slim silhouettes with little to no footprint. ‘Small desks with thin legs, or built-in floating desks work best for a small bedroom,’ advise Jenna and Marina from Interior Fox. ‘It's important not to add too much visual weight to a room when space is tight.’
How can a small desk still be functional?
Storage is going to be your best friend with any small desk situation, and planning it early into your room design will really pay off. Marie Soliman advises, ‘Always buy or design a desk with built-in grommet strips to hide all your cables.’
Keren Ritcher also offers some great advice for managing your tech, ‘We try to push for wireless printers in our projects, so they can be tucked away into cupboards. It’s also a good idea to house charging stations within cupboards so the devices can be stored away and charged overnight,’ she says. ‘If a large monitor is crucial, try wall-mounting it on an adjustable arm so that the surface is kept free and the screen can swivel away in the evening.
’
And of course, it’s always crucial to keep on top of your clutter. Stylish storage boxes that feel cohesive and in keeping with your bedroom design are a great way to disguise paperwork and other work paraphernalia.

74. Instead of a window
It is unlikely that such a solution as an old window frame instead of a mirror can be considered the height of practicality, but the visual effect of the reception is fascinating.

75. Shabby classic
The temptation to rub the furniture with sandpaper is quite strong - the old classic is still relevant in the interior. Dressing table - just the surface on which you can come off to the fullest.

76. Countdown
Usually the dressing table is placed close to the wall, and the chair is placed with its back to the main space. But that doesn't mean you can't do things your way and vice versa!

7 practical ideas - INMYROOM
The bedroom is the perfect place for a home office. It has fewer distractions than a kitchen or living room, and it's easier to focus. How to organize a workplace in the bedroom - in this article
The bedroom is one of the best places to set up a home office where space is limited. It has fewer distractions than a kitchen or living room, which means it's easier to focus. We will talk about how best to organize a workplace in the bedroom in this material.
1. Worktop under the window
Since the home office needs as much natural light as possible, placing the desktop under the window is one of the most logical solutions. If the room is small, give preference to models with a glass top: such furniture does not look bulky in an already limited space. nine0003
Try to combine the countertop with the window sill, this will create a visual unity of the space. Or vice versa, let the windowsill serve as a place to store your papers and necessary supplies.
2. Work table instead of bedside table
The main plus of this solution is space saving. Instead of a bedside table and a desk, you need to choose just one piece of furniture that combines both functions.
To achieve a harmonious look, use symmetry: for example, the same table lamps on the sides of the bed. nine0003
3. Freestanding Desk
This is probably the first thing that comes to mind when decorating a home office in the bedroom. The desk is easy to match to any style of the room.
A free-standing desk has its advantages: its location in the room can be easily changed if necessary, and if you decide that the workplace in the bedroom is no longer needed, it can be removed from the room altogether.
4. Use of nooks and crannies
Any niche or corner can be transformed into a stylish and comfortable home office in a small bedroom. It is enough to show a little imagination. nine0003
Use custom-made countertops and shelves to make the most of your available space.
