My office desk at home is located in our bedroom. It’s more convenient for me that way because it allows me to watch over Ziggy while he’s sleeping in the afternoon or at night. Also, the only air conditioner we use is usually the one in our bedroom. So, at least I get to work where it’s cold.
Up until several weeks ago, my desk was against a wall that has the biggest set of windows in our room. I hated it because there was no wall to put up boards and stuff. So, finally, hubby decided to rearrange everything in our room so that my desk could face the window-less wall instead. I can finally plan for changing my table and decorating my work space. So, I’ve been looking at home office desk inspirations on Pinterest.
The table I’m using now is an old, bulky wooden office table with three drawers. It’s functional but it doesn’t really look nice. It doesn’t inspire me to work. Once I start earning regularly again, I really want to have a new customized table that has enough storage space and work area but at the same time looks great too. Here’s what I want my office desk to look like.
I like this because it has a lot of drawers. It will make it easier for me to compartmentalize all my office supplies, notepads, planners, etc. What I hate most is clutter so I really need lots of storage space.
In case I still need more storage space though, I’d love to have something like this! I think it would go well with the table. Don’t you think?
But this one below also looks nice. Instead of storage space on the table itself, it has shelves installed right on the wall above the table. Now that my desk is facing a blank wall, something like this is now possible for me. What I really love most is the light installation under the shelves that gives enough light on the desk. I can make do without a separate lamp! What’s hard about working in my bedroom at night is the fact that I have to turn the lights down and make do with a LED light connected to my laptop. This design will be great for me!
I love this other one because it’s white and it’s cute. Plus it has lots of storage space and a big work area too. Sometimes when I work, I have my planner, books, pens, press releases and even food on my desk aside from my laptop. So, a big work space is really a must.
This other design would be great if I can occupy more space in our room. My desk sits beside two other desks – one has our phone and printer on top and hubby’s things in the drawers, while the other has Ziggy’s books. I’m thinking it will also be nice to just get rid of the three desks and have something like this made instead. The shelves can store so many things and the desk area will be big enough to store our phone, printer and more.
This is another similar option. Hubby and I can even share a work space with this design.
But this one I also love because it’s also white, modern and has lots of storage space too. I just don’t like the glass table though.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to decide on the design and save enough to make my dream home office desk a reality.
What do you think of the designs I chose? Do you have any home office desk ideas that you can share with me? Tell me in the comments.
oh wow. they’re really very nice. my favorite is the white one. the one we’re planning to have built is closer to that. i like shelves and a long table so my kids can join me when they do their school work.

That’s a good idea, May. We’re planning to have another set of shelves/study table beside our dining area. Those will be for our girls. 🙂

Hi janice! I too am thinking of a nice work space for blogging at home. From your selections, I think the last one is nice but replace with a simple wooden table instead. And go for the
covelighting, by adding another set of shelves just above your table.
And the shared work area is ok rin. 🙂
Good luck on your project!
Of course, you give such great ideas, Peachy. I appreciate them! 🙂 Thanks!

I wish I had a working table! I blog on the kitchen table, on the bed, on the floor or on my son’s tiny study table! LOL The first one looks really nice though. 🙂

Your choices are great. I admire people who are organized, and seems to make the task of keeping the house clean, very easy. I am the total opposite, although, I strive to make things in order. Anyway I can works with so many clutters around. ^_^

I have lots of inspirations rin for my work desk at home, but I never got to do them! WIth another kid on the way, I won’t have time and energy na to make that space. Maybe when we get our own house na lang dun ko na lang ka-karirin!
I currently work on our dining table. My cousin who’s in the wood business sent me a desk for my home office. Only problem is, it’s too big for the room! Haha. I’m thinking of having it cut into two smaller tables so I’m searching for pegs as well.
