Corner desks for efficient workstations
Corner desks, often called L-shaped desks or corner workstations, combine two adjoining worktops in one furniture footprint. They can provide separate areas for a monitor setup, paperwork or a laptop without requiring a long run of straight desks.
They are useful in:
- Private offices and manager workspaces
- Home office and hybrid-working rooms
- Project spaces that need an individual workstation
- Rooms where a corner would otherwise be unused
Planning an L-shaped desk layout
Start with the room dimensions, door swings, windows and circulation routes. Consider which side should hold the longer return, where cables will run, and whether pedestal storage or visitor seating is needed. Browse our wider range of office desks when comparing corner layouts with other desk formats.
A corner workstation can be positioned against walls or used within a larger room, provided there is enough clearance for the chair and everyday movement around the desk.
