One of the brightest spots of the past year-and-a-half has been witnessing how people have redefined their work lives. Kids and pets have popped up in meetings, lunchtime walks have become the norm, and a lack of a commute has made room for all kinds of other hobbies. Now, with back to school season on the horizon, plenty of people are thrilled about the idea of returning to in-person work (and coworkers), but there's also a cohort eager to continue working partially or fully from home. If you're planning to continue to lean into a commute that spans from your bedroom to your living room, one of the key things to do is to make sure you have a distinct work space — and that starts with a desk.
The shift from working in an office to working from home was sudden and unexpected for many, especially those who live in apartments or homes with rooms already serving a predetermined purpose. So, the must-have home accessory became a desk that could serve a dual décor purpose or be tucked into a smaller corner. From a desk that leans against the wall and looks like décor to a simple hutch, we found eight desks ideal for small spaces — and prices start as low as $63.

The Mainstays Conrad Desk with Hutch is ideal for homes with rustic-meets-modern style. Measuring 33.3 inches by 21 inches by 35 inches, the desk includes both metal and wooden elements. The main surface of the desk is spacious for taking notes and working on a laptop, and there's also room on top of the desk to add a desktop computer.
Ameriwood Home Haven Retro Computer Desk with Riser
This retro-inspired desk by Ameriwood has eye-catching wood and metal elements. At 35.4 inches by 44.7 inches by 23.8 inches, the clean lines of the open concept design allow it to fit seamlessly into rooms of any size.

The desk is available in five colors, including walnut, gray, and white.
Techni Mobili Retractable Writing Desk with Storage
The standout feature of the walnut Techni Mobili desk is noted in its name—it's retractable!

Once your workday ends, slide the desk back together to open up your living room once again.
