15 Small Desks Of All Styles

When our house is also transformed into our office, it is essential to have a comfortable desk. If you have little space, these 15 proposals, small and of all styles, will serve as inspiration.

1. A MINI DESK BLOWN UP IN THE LIVING ROOM

This desk is as minimalist as it is practical: when flown, it takes up very little and looks very light. And, in addition, it has been equipped with two drawers to keep the office utensils in order and thus keep the table clear when not working. 

2. A SMALL DESK TABLE FOR YOUR FIRST HOMEWORK

3. SHELVING OR COMPACT OFFICE? BOTH OF THEM!

Do you have to telecommute at home and do not know where to put your mini office area? Get inspired by this idea, where a three-drawer ladder shelf has been turned into a small desk to muddle through. Being very narrow it adapts to any corner? 

4. A CONSOLE CONVERTED INTO A DESK

5. A SMALL DESK TABLE WITH EASELS
