9 Bedroom Desk Ideas For An Inspiring WFH Space

One thing we've learned over the past few years? A solid workstation is important for everyone to have at home. The only problem? We don't all have endless spare bedrooms for home offices. Many of us have to make do with the (sometimes-limited) extra space in our bedrooms, which is exactly where our favorite bedroom desk ideas come in.

Ahead, we've rounded up a handful of inspirational spaces that will help you craft the workspace of your dreams. Whether you're confined to a small bedroom or have a separate nook that can double as office space, we're calling out all the genius ideas, smart storage solutions, and colorful decor pieces for the ultimate workspace at home.

1. Include smart storage.

Anyone's workstation can benefit from some thoughtful storage ideas, whether it's for art supplies, pencils, and folders or computer chargers, headache medicine, and well-organized bills. Pairing a work surface with a drawer unit is sheer brilliance.

Most bedrooms have a color palette of some sort, so consider your existing bedroom furniture when you choose a workstation. For instance, in this space dreamed up by Melinda Hawkes, the gray bedroom desk plays nicely with the rust, white, and black hues seen in the rest of the space.

A small bedroom doesn't leave much space for several pieces of furniture, especially if the pieces are big and bulky. If that's the case for you, we recommend finding a small desk that can double as a nightstand. During the day, you can pull up a chair and use it as a normal desk, but at night, it can act as a multifunctional side table. Bedroom office, mastered.

Have a walk-in closet, niche, or small side room to spare? This one's for you. Taking a note from the above example, turn an area that would otherwise be storage space into a cozy home office — and design it to your heart's content. If you're feeling DIY-savvy, a small dose of wallpaper may help to better define the space, or a few coats of paint can provide a similar effect.
