The Built-In Desk


Often times, modest homes are short on workspace: a guest bedroom may have to double up as an office, a corner of a kitchen or dining space becomes a work space, or worse, a bedroom becomes that place you tend to get work done. In an ideal world, having a designated work space is the the best way to maintain organization avoiding the intrusion of work overtaking personal life. A compact built-in desk can often help. Whether created from a kitchen nook, a hallway, or even a closet - here are some great ideas for the built-in desk.

A pretty light filled spot like this (off a kitchen) may be compact but provides a designated work area.
