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

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

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

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.'

25 Fabulous ideas for a home office in the bedroom
If you do not have an extra room in your home to dedicate to a home office, consider the addition of a desk in your bedroom, whether it be the master or a guest room. A bedroom can be the perfect spot to squeeze in an office if no other options are available. It’s peaceful and away from distractions that you will find in the main living areas – not to mention the bed is close at hand if you need a nap or some crucial time to reflect!
If you have torn down an adjoining wall, retaining some of the dividing wall (called a pony wall) will help create some separation. It’s important to switch off at the end of the day! Have a look below at our collection of 25 ideas for incorporating a home office into your bedroom.

Bedroom with a workplace: design photos and ideas - a bedroom and an office in one room
Not every apartment can boast of a large area where a separate office can easily fit. Therefore, most often you have to adapt and equip your home office inside other rooms. And, oddly enough, a bedroom and an office in one room get along best. After all, there is no danger of splattering papers with food, and there are much fewer distractions than in the same living room.
And to make it easier for you, we have outlined the basic rules for creating the perfect bedroom workspace - interior design ideas are included.

Dividing a room into functional zones
Designing a bedroom with a workplace should be done by optimizing space and rationally arranging furniture. After all, it is precisely the correctly designated working and sleeping areas that will ensure both healthy sleep and productivity at work.
The first thing to do is to remove all unnecessary things, especially work-related things that are visible from the bed, so that thoughts about them do not prevent you from falling asleep. The interior of your bedroom should be conducive to a calm and relaxed rest. Secondly, sitting at the home office table, you should by no means see the bed - otherwise, you will undoubtedly want to move to it with a laptop for literally half an hour.
And then goodbye, working composure and correct posture - hello, cervical chondrosis. The interior of the office should evoke a working mood.
Ze|Workroom Studio
Set up a workplace by the window in the bedroom - this will give us maximum natural light, and the bed will remain behind. Accordingly, we put the bed in the opposite corner from the window and it is desirable that this zone be slightly darkened against the general background of the rest of the room. And do not forget that cluttering up the approaches to the bed is not a good idea! READ ALSO…0024

glare on the monitor screen, get blinds, Roman or roller blinds. Unlike ordinary curtains, they will not touch things on the table and around it, but they will do an excellent job with the light protection function.
Another option is pleated blinds that rise both above and below the window: with their help, you can literally “shade” that fragment of the window where the sun is directed, without completely blocking the view. By the way, pleated curtains will perfectly complement the interior of a bedroom-study, even if the room has non-standard windows.

And don't forget to put the thermostat on the radiator by the window, because without it, it will literally make you sweat!

What to zone
Study and bedroom in one room should be visually separated.
An ideal option for a home office would be a niche, both originally available and created from drywall specifically for this purpose. And let this option turn out to be more expensive in decoration, but on additional surfaces you can always place various storage systems - from ordinary shelves to secret compartments.

Tip: for creating a workplace in a niche, "floating" tabletops that are mounted directly are perfect to Wall. They will not only save real space, but also visually unload the room, which is especially beneficial in small rooms.
And so that the tabletop does not fall off during work, leaving you with a huge hole in the wall, mount it only on a load-bearing wall or built from durable materials, such as brick or aerated concrete.
If the described option does not suit you or is implemented with great difficulty, then a rack or cabinet will help to isolate the zones, where you can place a collection of books or other necessary items. Or use a mobile partition, which, although it doesn’t look solid, folds out very quickly and separates the sleeping area from the workspace.

Lighting
Without proper lighting, you not only risk disrupting the work process, but also endanger your own health, which means that this issue should be approached with your seriousness. Prefer a standard chandelier with built-in ceiling lights around the entire perimeter of the room. So you will not only avoid unnecessary shadows, but you will also be able to locally illuminate the necessary area.
Eva Priest

The presence of a point light source on the left side of the workplace in the bedroom (or on the right side for left-handed people), as well as at the head of the bed is a must! It is easy to guess that the switches are best placed at the door, near the bed and, of course, the table.
If you need adjustable lighting, rheostats or dimmers can handle it. But you can go even further by buying modern wi-fi lamps that can be controlled from your mobile device or remote control. Moreover, thanks to the built-in diodes, it is possible to change not only the degree of their brightness, but also the shade of the glow. Or stick to the classic scenario for the bedroom with a workplace: lamps with warm yellow light in the relaxation area, and white or blue in the work area.

Sometimes there is a pantry in the bedroom, which is quite difficult to use as a closet due to its compactness.
Why not use this space to create a comfortable workplace? Moreover, you can hang a cornice with a curtain over it and, if necessary, hide everything related to work out of sight.
Option for a small bedroom with a workspace - use a secretary, but there must be space where you can put your feet, otherwise all the convenience and practicality of this thing is reduced to nothing. An excellent example of such a piece of furniture is the Segreto secretary from Molteni & C. This model first saw the light at the most popular iSaloni exhibition and since then has been an excellent compact solution that decorates the interior of small rooms, including bedrooms with an office function.
Dayka Robinson Designs
For especially small bedrooms
The most appropriate option for a tiny study-bedroom is a multifunctional table that simultaneously acts as a workplace, bedside table and makeup table. The main thing is that there is enough space on it to implement all these functions, which means that the tabletop must be at least 75 cm long and 40 cm wide.

Bedroom study design: 50 design ideas
Clock
The category of people who work remotely, outside the office, often faces the inability to establish a workflow properly. In most cases, this is not due to the lack of such important qualities as discipline or responsibility, but to the improper organization of one's time and workplace.
If a couple of books or good articles on time management can solve the first problem, then setting up a workplace with your own hands is a more difficult task.
We offer to combine the design of a bedroom and an office in one room. It is the sleeping room that is empty during working hours, so it is the best suited for creating a comfortable workspace.
We will tell you not only how to choose the right furniture, how to divide zones, how to choose a winning color scheme. But also how to organize the design of the bedroom-study, without harming the intimate atmosphere of the bedroom.
The first step - space zoning
for sleeping, etc. This approach to interior design is somewhat outdated. Competent zoning techniques can not only unobtrusively divide the room into comfortable zones, but also give the room an additional touch of comfort, coupled with originality.
The design of a bedroom combined with an office can be divided into functional areas using:
- Decorative partitions and arched structures.
- Podium.
- Sliding doors.
- Pieces of furniture: wardrobe, shelving (optimal "material" for zoning in a small room).
- Lights and colors - the workspace should be decorated in lighter colors and located closer to the source of daylight.
- Movable fabric structures (curtains, screens).
- Miscellaneous floor coverings.
Experts say that the zoning of the room in the proportion of one to two looks the most harmonious. In the case of an office-bedroom, it is more reasonable to give most of the space to the sleeping area.
Sometimes the ability to imagine what will come out of the plan in the end fails us, so when planning the future interior it is convenient to use special programs.
Organization of the working area
The atmosphere around us helps to tune in to the right wave. In the bedroom, it sets you up for peace and relaxation, which is contrary to the need to concentrate on an active work process.
That is why the organization of the work area itself is one of the most important moments in the design of a combined bedroom-study.
It is best to place the workplace by the window and sit with your back to the sleeping area located in the back of the room.
This is due to the fact that bright lighting is required for work, while it is contraindicated for rest. Another plus of this distinction is that the look will not fall on the bed and be distracted from the work process.
Original ideas for designing a workplace in the bedroom:
- A working area located at the foot of the bed is usually used when it is impossible to move the bed from the window area, this technique significantly saves space.
- A workplace placed instead of a bedside table is convenient in small apartments.
- Designing a working area in a corner or a niche - allows you to play with complex room designs in an interesting way.
- Another option is to embed the work area in the cabinet. The office space will be noticeable only in the daytime, in the process of work. By closing the cabinet doors in the evening, you will completely hide the work area.
- An excellent solution for the design of the working area is the removal of the office to the insulated balcony adjacent to the bedroom.
An elegant and ergonomic solution is to use a window sill or secretary table, which, if necessary, transforms into a cabinet. Another good space-saving tip is if you need to use your computer while you work, get a TV adapter and get rid of the second monitor in the room.
Lighting and color palette
The choice of color palette and lighting plays a huge role in deciding how to organize a workspace in the bedroom. For different functional areas, they should be different.
In the sleeping area, lighting should be relaxing and subdued: you can use the soft yellow light of traditional incandescent lamps. In the working area, be sure to install spotlights on the left. The energetic blue or white light of fluorescent lamps is the best. A great option is to place spotlights around the perimeter of the room.
The interior of the bedroom with a working area tends to matte pastel shades. Bright saturated tones will not only irritate the sleeping area, but also interfere with concentration in the work area. It is quite possible to use different colors for different zones. The main thing is that they are harmoniously combined with each other.
Tip: an office in a small bedroom is preferable to design in a minimalist style: a minimum of functional pieces of furniture and neutral calm shades. Otherwise, the room will look cluttered.

If you do not have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for an office, you should try to maintain a minimalist style when decorating the working area in the bedroom.
