L shaped desk – The home office game changer

The Benefits of an L Shaped Desk for Saving Floor Space

One of the biggest perks of an L shaped desk is how neatly it fits into a corner, making it ideal if you’re tight on floor space. Instead of spreading out and swallowing half the room, your desk quietly does its job from the corner while you get on with yours.

It’s also perfect if you need a corner computer desk setup – especially when paired with one of those chairs that actually supports your back rather than sending you straight to the chiropractor.

Wondering how it stacks up against other popular options? Check out Wayfair Corner Desk vs Koble Designs Corner Desk comparison. Spoiler alert: the smart desk features are worth it.

Should You Go for a Standing L Shaped Desk?

If sitting all day is ruining your back (and your mood), it might be time to think about a standing desk setup. The good news? You don’t have to lose the corner layout to stand up. An L shaped desk with standing features gives you the best of both worlds – space to spread out and the chance to get off your chair now and again.

Standing desks have come a long way since those wobbly first versions, and many now blend seamlessly into your workspace. If you’re curious whether standing could work for you, have a read through this Corner Standing Desk guide – it’s packed with tips (and some solid reasons your posture will love you for it).

Maximise Surface Area with an L Shaped Desk

There’s nothing worse than running out of surface area halfway through your day. An L shaped desk means you’ve always got space for filing cabinets, printers, paperwork, and all those random bits that seem to gather when you’re busy.

Got dual monitors? No worries. Need somewhere to hide a tangle of charging cables? Sorted. Fancy a sneaky corner for snacks? Hey, no judgement here.

Plus, with a smart layout, your home office suddenly feels less like a temporary fix and more like an actual workspace designed for, you know… work.

Choosing the Right L Shaped Desk for You

Not all L shaped desks are created equal. Some come with built-in storage, others with fancy tech features, and a few are just glorified tables shaped like an ‘L’. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

  • Size matters – Measure your floor space properly. That “compact” desk might still eat half your room.
  • Storage – Need drawers or room for filing cabinets? Get a desk that hides the mess rather than showing it off.
  • Tech features – If you’re after wireless charging, speakers, or cable tidies, smart desks like Koble’s Gino Corner Smart Desk are well worth a look.
  • Adjustability – Thinking about going from sitting to standing? Pick a model that does both without needing a degree to figure it out.

And, most importantly, make sure it feels right. You’ll be spending hours here, so it should work for you – not the other way around.

Is an L Shaped Desk Worth It? Absolutely

Let’s not sugar-coat it – working from home isn’t going anywhere, so you might as well kit yourself out properly. An L shaped desk is practical, stylish, and – most importantly – makes you feel like you’ve got your workspace under control (even if you’re still wearing pyjama bottoms on Zoom calls).

Whether you’re after extra surface area, saving floor space, or just need something that can handle a bit of everything, there’s a corner desk out there that fits the bill.

Final Thoughts on Choosing the Right L Shaped Desk

The secret to a better working day? It starts with your desk. A proper L shaped desk helps you organise your surface area, protect your floor space, and – dare we say – makes sitting down to work feel a little less like a chore.

Whether you’re all about standing desks, need a corner computer desk setup, or just want something that handles your filing cabinets and monitors without breaking a sweat, it’s worth the upgrade.

Work smarter, not harder – and maybe, just maybe, enjoy sitting at your desk again.
